- Benefits
Mitigates Vapor Drive - Seals concrete and masonry to mitigate vapor drive resulting from high groundwater table or capillary action, and also helps reduce any gas transmission that may occur during rising temperatures. Helps prevent pin-holes, blistering, and delamination of the topcoat caused by vapor drive and out-gassing.. Applies Quickly and Easily - Simply combine the two components, mix thoroughly and pour the primer onto the specified coverage area, use a squeegee to spread the product, and then back roll to help ensure uniform coverage.
- Toxicity
Not suitable for contact with edible substances or potable water.
- Consistency
- Both components are a slightly viscous liquid.
- Technology
- Ready-to-Use Products
- Certification
Product certified for Low chemical emissions UlCOM/GC Ul 2818.
- Recommended Uses
GacoFlex E5990 is intended as an optional sealer in Gaco decking applications. This penetrating sealer is specifically formulated for use on concrete and masonry to mitigate vapor drive and control out-gassing that may occur during rising temperatures.
