Key Features
- One-coat epoxy resin system
- For RH readings up to 100%
- Excellent coverage
- Fast setting – Proceed in as little as 4 hours
- No sand broadcast required for underlayment applications of 1/4” (6 mm) or less
- Reduces moisture vapor emissions to acceptable levels for floor coverings
- Solvent free, alkali resistant
- ASTM E96 – 0.06 perms
- Tenacious bond to substrate
- Use under all standard commercial and residential floor coverings on interior substrates only
- Use under all ARDEX interior toppings (sand broadcast method only)
- Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM F3010-18
