Slow Cure, 100% solids,2-component epoxy coating designed for controlling moisture vaporemissions on new or deteriorated concrete floors.Recommended to be applied in areasof high humidity or on wet concrete. Applied at a thickness of 18 mils, and exceeds ASTM F3010product requirements for vapor permeance. Will withstand moisture vapor emission rates ofup to 25lbs./24hrs./1000 ft2 when applied properly.
Material Name: MVB-6000-SC (Moisture Vapor Barrier EpoxyStandard Cure)
Material Use:
MVB-6000-SC is a 100% solids, two-component epoxy coating designed to control moisture vapor emissions on new or deteriorated concrete surfaces. It is specifically formulated as a vapor barrier primer in areas with high humidity or damp concrete and is suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
System Components:
-
Base Coat / Primer: MVB-6000-SC itself functions as the primer.
-
Repair System: All cracks and surface defects should be filled with a compatible epoxy crack filler prior to application.
-
Top Coats: A topcoat or second coat should be applied 8-12 hours after the base if required.
-
Cleaning Solvent: Xylene for uncured material.
Applications:
Ideal for use in:
-
Industrial: Garages, warehouses, airports, manufacturing plants.
-
Commercial: Hotels, showrooms, hospitals, offices, restaurants.
-
Residential: Basements, bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, pool outlines.
