moisture vapor transmission
Sika Component Products
Polymeric coating systems produce a seamless, impenetrable barrier coat to protect concrete slabs and improve a floor’s performance characteristics.
Moisture present in the concrete slab, however, is capable of producing significant vapor pressure from underneath any “non-breathing” flooring system. This pressure can lead to coating failures such as blisters and/or peeling. As a result, moisture vapor emission testing is a standard checkpoint for all performance flooring installations.*
Addressing this important issue, Sika Industrial Flooring offers a selection of moisture vapor transmission products that are fully compatible with our decorative and industrial floor and coating systems.
- Reduces moisture vapor pressure emission rate to an acceptable level*
- Complemented by Sika’s line of concrete additives, preparation chemicals, primers, membranes, and patching/filling products
- Compatible with Sikafloor flooring systems
