Concrete Floor Moisture Vapor Barrier Costa Rica

DESCRIPTION

Vegetales Fresquita new construction project for a food plant included a 5500 sq’ (500 m2) concrete floor.  There was a requirement to protect the floor against high moisture levels inherent from the high annual rainfalls in the area.

The engineering and archictectural firm hired to manage construction, Rivas Vargas y Asociados selected the ASTC Polymers’ CMW 8000 Lithium Moisture Vapor Barrier for its ease of application and excellent performance in reducing hydraulic vapor pressure.  The CMW 8000 was applied using a backpack hand pump spray unit.

The CMW 8000 does not leave a surface film or change visual appearance and does not prevent addition of a high performance coating in the future.  Note:  Pictures taken while floor wet right after application.
