Product Description
ResinForce Moisture Vapor Barrier is a two-component vapor barrier coating, used as a primer for maximum adhesion. RF-MVB will control moisture vapor emission up to 25 lb./ 24 hr. / 1000 sq. ft. while providing excellent physical and chemical resistance. This coating meets LED standards.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
The concrete surface must be deemed mechanically and structurally sound, thoroughly clean of debris and completely dry. Concrete must be fully cured a minimum of 28 days. Mechanically prep the concrete surface by shot blasting or diamond grinding with 30 grit or coarser diamonds to achieve a CSP-2 to CSP-3 profile. Vacuum concrete surface until dust is thoroughly removed. If applying over existing coating outside it's re-coat window, the surface should be sanded thoroughly with a 60-120 grit sanding screen until the surface is completely dulled with scratches. Vacuum dust thoroughly. Substrate, air, and material temps must be 40°F - 90°F. If applied outside these limits the coating may have excessive air entrapment, bubbles, blushing, hazing or curing issues.
MIXING:
If mixing less than a full kit, mix Part A and Part B separately with a stir stick, low speed mixer or vigorously shake containers prior to measuring out the smaller kit to ensure uniform distribution of all ingredients. In a clean mixing container, blend 2 Parts A and 1 Part B using a drill mixer for 2 minutes. If mixing a full 3 gallon kit, the Part A container can be used as the mixing container, then pour contents into a separate clean container and mix again for 30-60 seconds. Avoid creating a vortex in the material which could introduce air and/or moisture content to the mixture. DO NOT THIN!
COVERAGE RATE:
As a primer direct to Concrete: 100 - 125 sq. ft. per gallon. (13-16 mils)*
Not recommended for exterior use, unless used as a primer, as epoxy will amber.
APPLICATION:
Apply mixed material by pouring onto the surface and spread with a notch flexible squeegee. Then back roll with a lint free shedless roller. Use a brush or small roller for corners and areas hard to maneuver larger squeegees/rollers. If the material becomes thick while applying and sticking to the application tools, stop applying and discard the mixed material. At this point it has reached the end of the usable pot life. Refer to TDS for more information.
