Slow Cure, 100% solids, 2-component epoxy coating designed for controlling moisture vapor emissions on new or deteriorated concrete floors.  Recommended to be applied in areas of high humidity or on wet concrete. Applied at a thickness of 18 mils, and exceeds ASTM F3010 product requirements for vapor permeance.  Will withstand moisture vapor emission rates of up to 25lbs./24hrs./1000 ft2 when applied properly.

Material Name: MVB-6000-SC (Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy – Standard Cure)

Material Use:
MVB-6000-SC is a 100% solids, two-component epoxy coating designed to control moisture vapor emissions on new or deteriorated concrete surfaces. It is specifically formulated as a vapor barrier primer in areas with high humidity or damp concrete and is suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

System Components:

• Base Coat / Primer: MVB-6000-SC itself functions as the primer.

• Repair System: All cracks and surface defects should be filled with a compatible epoxy crack filler prior to application.

• Top Coats: A topcoat or second coat should be applied 8-12 hours after the base if required.

• Cleaning Solvent: Xylene for uncured material.

Applications:
Ideal for use in:

• Industrial: Garages, warehouses, airports, manufacturing plants.

• Commercial: Hotels, showrooms, hospitals, offices, restaurants.

• Residential: Basements, bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, pool outlines.

Application Details:

• Mix Ratio: 2 parts resin (A) to 1 part hardener (B) by volume.

• Mixing: Pre-mix each part for 2–3 min; final mix for 1 min at low speed (300–450 rpm).

• Application Tools: Rubber squeegee and 10 mm roller.

• Recommended Thickness: 18 mils (wet film); coverage: 90–100 sq. ft. per gallon at this thickness.

• Pot Life: 30–45 minutes at room temperature (142g mass); 20–25 minutes per 3-gallon kit.

• Dry Time:

  • Re-coat: 8–12 hours

  • Light traffic: 12–24 hours

  • Full cure (heavy traffic): 7 days

Special Notes:

• Environmental Conditions for Installation:

  • Ambient temperature: 15–21 °C (59–70 °F)

  • Do not apply below 5 °C (41 °F) or above 30 °C (86 °F)

  • Ambient relative humidity must be below 85%

  • Substrate temperature must be 3 °C above dew point

  • Substrate moisture content must be <6%

• Limitations:

  • Not a waterproofing membrane

  • Not suitable for areas with high hydrostatic pressure

  • Not UV stable (may discolor on exposure to sunlight)

  • Sensitive to amine blush from propane by-products during cure

• Physical Properties:

  • Vapor permeance @ 18 mils: 0.1 US perm (ASTM E96)

  • Moisture vapor emission resistance: 25 lbs./24 hrs./1000 ft² (ASTM F1869)

  • Compressive strength: 10,500 psi (ASTM D695)

  • Tensile strength: 6,500 psi (ASTM D638)

  • Shore D Hardness: 85–90

  • Abrasion Resistance: 10 mg loss (Taber CS-17 wheel, 1000g, 1000 cycles)

This product serves as a high-performance vapor barrier epoxy primer within epoxy and resinous flooring systems, especially in moisture-prone environments.
