MPC-160 Moisture Vapor Barrier (3gal)
$219.00
MPC-160 is a 100% solids, a two-component epoxy coating designed for controlling moisture vapor emissions on new or deteriorated concrete floors. This coating is recommended to be applied in areas of high humidity or on wet concrete. When applied at a thickness of 18 mils, it exceeds ASTM F3010 product requirements for vapor permeance. This coating will withstand moisture vapor emission rates up to 25lbs./24hrs./1000 ft2 when applied properly.
Areas of application:
o Industrial Use – Garages; Warehouses; Airports and hangars; Processing and manufacturing plants
o Commercial Use – Shopping malls and boutiques; Hotels; Offices; Showrooms; Restaurants; Hospitals; Schools; Community centers
o Residential Use – Entrances and hallways; basements; entertainment rooms; bathrooms; kitchens and living rooms; outdoors spaces and pool outlines

A vapor barrier is any material used for damp proofing, typically a plastic or foil sheet, that resists the diffusion of moisture through the wall, floor, ceiling, or roof assemblies of buildings to prevent interstitial condensation. Technically, many of these materials are only vapor retarders as they have varying degrees of permeability.
Vapor diffusion retarders are normally available as coatings or membranes. The membranes are technically flexible and thin materials, but sometimes include thicker sheet materials named “structural” vapor diffusion retarders. The vapor diffusion retarders vary from all kinds of materials and keep updating every day. Also some of them nowadays even combined the functions of other building materials.
Moisture or water vapor moves into building cavities in three ways: 1) With air currents, 2) By diffusion through materials, 3) By heat transfer. Of these three, air movement accounts for more than 98% of all water vapor movement in building cavities. A vapor retarder and an air barrier serve to reduce this problem but are not necessarily interchangeable. Vapor retarders slow the rate of vapor diffusion into the thermal envelope of a structure. Other wetting mechanisms, such as wind-borne rain, capillary wicking of ground moisture, air transport (infiltration), are equally important.

| Packaging and Recommended Thickness | MPC- 180 is offered in the following kit sizes: |
| Surface Preparation | Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, and all other contaminants with proper cleaner/degreaser. Prepare the surface mechanically as per ICRI-CSP2 profile by diamond grinding to ensure removal of laitance, curing agents, and sealers. The compressive strength of a newly poured concrete substrate must be at least 25 MPA (3635 psi) after 28 days cure and at least 1.5 MPA (218 psi) tensile strength. Be careful with condensation (within 10 degrees of the dew point). All cracks, holes, and irregularities must be repaired with our epoxy crack filler (MPC-125) prior to applying the coating. |
| Mixing Instructions | The products must be conditioned between for 18°C (65°F) and 30°C (86°F) prior to application. Pre-mix each component separately for 2-3 minutes each. Open container with 2 parts of component A in it, then add the 1 part of component B to it (mixing ratio 2:1). Mix the components for at least 2-3 minutes using a low-speed drill (300-450 rpm) to reduce air entrapment and to obtain a homogeneous mixture. |
| Product Application | 1. Apply 1st coat of MPC-180 using a rubber squeegee and roll to obtain a uniform coating (using a fine quality 10mm roller). |
| Product Restrictions | o Not recommended for application at temperatures below 5°C / 41°F or above 30°C / 86°F. |
