Rising slab moisture is a leading cause of epoxy delamination, blistering, and adhesion failure, and EF-160 stops it. Applied at 18 mils, it exceeds the ASTM F3010 standard for vapor permeance and withstands moisture vapor emission rates up to 25 lbs\/1000 ft²\/24 hrs (100% relative humidity, 6% by Tramex method).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the right primer for tough conditions: cold and humid environments, damp slabs, and poorly prepared surfaces where ordinary primers fail. It bonds to concrete cured as little as 14 days (use AQUAFLOW-400 deep-penetrating primer on slabs 14-28 days old), and it is approved for direct contact with potable water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEF-160 is strong as well as protective. Its 15,000 psi flexural strength, 8,000 psi compressive, 6,000 psi tensile, and 80-85 Shore D hardness create a solid foundation for the rest of your system. At under 20 g\/L VOC it is LEED v4 low-emitting and meets requirements for indirect food contact. It comes in clear, grey, and black: prime the slab, then build your Everflow epoxy or polyaspartic floor on a stable, moisture-controlled base. Note: EF-160 is a vapor barrier, not a waterproofing membrane, and is not designed for areas of high hydrostatic pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls Moisture Vapor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Withstands emission rates up to 25 lbs\/1000 ft²\/24 hrs (100% RH), preventing the moisture-driven delamination that destroys floor systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceeds ASTM F3010:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 18 mils it surpasses the industry standard for vapor permeance (0.06 g\/m²·24hr·mmHg).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks on Damp or Green Concrete:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for cold, humid conditions and damp or poorly prepared slabs; bonds to concrete cured as little as 14 days (with AQUAFLOW-400 on 14-28 day slabs).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotable-Water Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approved for direct contact with potable water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Strength Foundation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15,000 psi flexural, 8,000 psi compressive, 6,000 psi tensile, 80-85 Shore D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Low VOC:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;20 g\/L; meets requirements for indirect food contact; LEED v4 low-emitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Colors, Top-Coatable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear, grey, and black.
