Epoxy MVR
Moisture Vapor Remission
Overview
Excess moisture in concrete can cause delamination, mildew growth, and other damage to many types of flooring systems. With a >0.1 perm rating and the ability to protect systems installed over concrete slabs with 100% relative humidity, the KRETUS® Epoxy MVR System was designed to mitigate moisture’s harmful effects. At 12 mils thickness, it can withstand moisture vapor emission rates of 10-15 lbs per 1,000 sf over a 24-hr period. When applied at or above 15 mils, it can withstand 15-20 lbs. Every system includes fast- , medium-, and slow-cure hardener options—with up to 30 minutes of working time.
Designed to be installed on the negative side of concrete, the KRETUS® Epoxy MVR System is applied to the inside face of a concrete slab to protect against excess moisture seeping through the concrete into an occupied space and contaminating the flooring system above.
-
Concrete slabs can be above-, on-, and below-grade and should be no less than 7 days old.
-
Flooring systems include carpet, hardwood, and resilient floor coverings, such as VCT and resinous flooring systems.
