Moisture Vapor Barrier Coatings

D-250 Moisture Vapor Barrier Coating

D-250™ Moisture Vapor Barrier Coating is a two-component, water-based, penetrating epoxy formulated to incorporate antimicrobial protection and dramatically reduce moisture vapor transmission from substrates including “freshly poured green concrete”, properly-prepared concrete, cement backer board, cement patch/underlayments, radiant heat flooring, and cement-based terrazzo prior to the installation of carpet, vinyl/VCT, engineered or solid hardwood, porcelain, marble, granite, or ceramic tile floor covering.

Surface Preparation

Universal Primer

Bostik Universal Primer is designed for use with SL-150. Use over concrete, approved plywood substrates, cement backer board, ceramic tile, marble, granite and terrazzo.

Bostik UltraFinish™ Portland Cement-Based Patch

Bostik UltraFinish™ is a fast-setting, latex-fortified, Portland cement-based patch for interior use prior to the installation of hardwood, ceramic, carpet, vinyl, or rubber flooring. This product may be used to skim coat or feather-edge up to 1" deep in one application. Floor covering can be installed typically in as little as 15-20 minutes over concrete, wood, ceramic and quarry tile without the requirement of priming or the use of a liquid additive. When mixed with Durabond D-L16™ High Strength Additive or Bostik's Hydroment 425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture instead of water, Bostik UltraFinish can be used as an embossing leveler.

This product contains Bostik's Blockade™ Antimicrobial Protection, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, or mildew on the surface of the dried cement; the dried cement resists stains caused by mold.

Fast Patch 102

Fast Patch 102 is a fast-setting, polymer-modified, cement-based compound. Simply mix with water to repair cracks, holes and uneven surfaces from feather-edge up to 1/2" thick in a single application. Use Fast Patch 102 prior to installation of carpet, wood, ceramic tile and stone floors. It can be applied over concrete, existing ceramic tile, exterior-grade plywood and well-bonded vinyl tile.

D-261 Extreme Moisture Vapor Barrier Coating

D-261™ Extreme Moisture Vapor Barrier Coating is a two-component, high performance, rapid drying, epoxy formulated to dramatically reduce moisture vapor transmission and surface alkalinity from substrates including; “freshly-poured/green concrete”, properly prepared concrete, cement backer board, cement patch/underlayments, radiant heat flooring, and cement-based terrazzo prior to the installation of carpet; vinyl/VCT; engineered or solid hardwood; porcelain, marble, granite, or ceramic tile floor covering. D-261 contains Bostik’s Blockade™ antimicrobial protection and utilizes a breakthrough, silver-based, antimicrobial agent that provides built in protection to inhibit the growth of a broad range of odor causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface of the coating’s film. D-261 is uniquely formulated so that it may be applied to fresh “green” concrete as soon as it has achieved “initial set” (when the concrete can be walked on without disturbing the surface). It is pigmented light green for visual indication of coverage and film thickness during the installation process. It is extremely durable and wear resistant.

When properly installed, D-261 is designed to reduce the moisture vapor emission rate of even the most challenging concrete slabs from < 25 pounds per 1,000 ft2 per 24 hours to < 3 lbs. per 1,000 ft2 per 24 hours (per ASTM 1869). This non-flammable, non corrosive, low odor, non-blushing formulation requires no solvent wiping, and has no application window in which floor covering adhesives must be applied to achieve a strong bond. D-261 is formulated to be effective in reducing the surface alkalinity of concrete slabs to pH levels of 9 or lower as recommended by the Carpet and Rug Institute and the Canadian Carpet Institute, making them ideal for bonding with most adhesives.
