Moisture Remediation Primers

Smith’s Epoxy VCB³⁸ products achieve a tenacious bond at all recommended application temperatures & cures quickly, allowing for subsequent layers to be applied within a few hours after initial application when applied above 60°F / 15.6°C substrate surface temperature.

May be used as an alkalinity & moisture vapor reduction primer with readings <5% MC / <15 lbs. / <90% RH with between 9 to 12 pH when applied at a minimum of 10 mils up to 20 mils WFT over properly mechanically prepared concrete. Smith’s Epoxy VCB³⁸ may be applied neat, to include solid color with the addition of Smith’s WSC Color Packs, or to accept a broadcast of vinyl chip directly into Smith’s Epoxy VCB³⁸ primer, while still yielding a system passing ASTM E-96 perm of <0.1.

Smith’s Epoxy VCB^46Pachieves a tenacious bond at all recommended application temperatures & cures quickly, allowing for subsequent layers to be applied within a few hours when applied above 60°F / 15.6°C substrate surface temperature.

Unlike other products used for a similar purpose, the working time & pot-life of Smith’s Epoxy VCB^46P doesn’t vary much between cool to warm temperature installations within the recommended application temperature range allowing for a more consistent installation with optimal adhesion, less waiting at cool temperatures & less rushing at warm temperatures.

May be used as an alkalinity & moisture vapor reduction primer with readings <5% MC / <15 lbs. / <90% RH with between 9 to 12 pH when applied at a minimum of 10 mils up to 20 mils WFT over properly mechanically prepared concrete, to include solid color or broadcast vinyl chip directly into the Smith’s Epoxy VCB^46Pprimer while still achieving a low perm coating system per ASTM E-96.

Smith’s Epoxy MAC100 is a solvent free, 2-component 100% solids Osmotic Moisture Vapor / Alkalinity Control Epoxy Primer with high capillary penetration capabilities for absorption into porous substrates at all recommended application temperatures. Epoxy MAC100 suppresses Osmotic moisture vapor transmission levels to an acceptable level (i.e. below 3 lbs. at tested rates up to 25 lbs./14 pH per ASTM F1869 or 100% RH per ASTM F2170) to receive subsequent systems.

For use as a primer prior to all common traditional flooring, cementitious overlay/underlayment and resinous floor coating interior applications.

Smith’s Epoxy MAC125 is an Ultra-Fast Curing 100% Solids Epoxy MVT / Oil Stop primer used for:

Moisture Vapor Suppression up to 6% MC / 25 lbs. / 100% RH / 14 pH
Oil Stop Primer over concrete after treating with Smith’s Oil Clean

Smith’s Epoxy MAC125 is an excellent choice in all common industrial, commercial and residential environments as a primer prior to application of:

Resinous coatings systems
Decorative concrete overlays/resurfacers
Self-leveling cementitious compounds
Traditional glue-down resilient or hard surface floor coverings
