VaporGard (211)

VaporGard (211) is a 100% solids, non-shrink epoxy specifically formulated to penetrate into the smallest fissures and voids sealing the concrete, effectively reducing the amount of MVTR (moisture vapor emission rate). VaporGard #211 is to be installed to properly prepared concrete where moisture vapor drive is suspected, or been identified through approved testing methods. Vaporgard #211 has been designed for interior use only.

HIGHLIGHTS

A low viscosity epoxy primer designed to penetrate into the smallest fissures, sealing the concrete from moisture vapor passing. Coatings applied over concrete with vapor transmission rate greater than 3.0 lbs. Per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours (ASTM F 1869 Calcium Chloride Test) period will typically blister and fail. VaporGard's unique formulation is designed to reduce or eliminate vapor transmission through concrete.

Application

Apply VaporGard #211 with a squeegee, brush, or high quality non-shed roller. Only mix the amount of product that can be properly applied within 15-25 minutes. Due to the lower viscosity of VaporGard #211 make sure the entire surface has been coated, and dry spots will need to be rerolled leaving a glass-like finish. Once thoroughly mixed this product should be placed on the surface and NOT LEFT IN THE MIXING BUCKET.

Surface Preparation

Apply VaporGard #211 only to clean and sound substrates. Mechanical preparation by means of shot-blasting or diamond grinding to an ICRI CSP 2/3 is recommended (see ICRI Guideline No. 03732 for additional details).
