Chemical Resistance
Since concrete is very alkaline
by nature, a product must be highly chemically resistant.
Good healthy concrete has a pH
over 12 and this can be detrimental to floor covering
adhesives which may not withstand a pH much over 9.
Vapor-Guard can withstand
concrete alkalinity up to pH 14 and serves as a stand-alone
product for many containment applications as well, due to its
high chemical resistance and strength.
Vapor-Guard formulas are
designed for concrete of any age, can withstand years of
sunlight and may be applied to slabs as early as 24 hours.
Vapor-Guard is a proven concrete
primer for any kind of bonded material, including new roofing applications.
It may also serve as an architectural coating and as a
lead-paint containment material that can be easily pigmented. |
