IC-100 MVB
MOISTURE VAPOR BARRIER

IC-100 MVB is a 100% solids, two-component moisture vapor barrier epoxy coating designed for use on concrete under various floor coverings (e.g., vinyl tiles, hardwood). It serves as a primer, bonding agent, or topcoat with a long pot life and fast-curing capabilities at ambient and low temperatures. Controls moisture vapor emission up to 25 lb/24 hr/1000 ft².
Advantages
  • Dense surface: bacteria/moisture resistant, easy to clean
  • Excellent self-adhesion for multiple layers
  • Strong adhesion to various substrates
