Moisture Control & Chemical Isolation

S3 Concrete Moisture Solutions

Moisture in concrete doesn't have to be a problem - you just need the right products to handle it. S3 makes products that work together like building blocks to solve your specific moisture issues.

What We Can Fix:

  • New concrete curing and waterproofing
  • Moisture vapor problems
  • High humidity and pH levels
  • Sweating slab and ASR
  • Chemical isolation of asbestos removal and other contaminants
  • Moisture Mitigating Self-leveling compounds

 

Our Main Products:

MoistureShield™ - Does 3 jobs in one: PERFECT for new slabs regardless of the industry, curing compound for new concrete, creates a permanent moisture vapor barrier insitu, and waterproofs surfaces to protect from environmental elements. Works on old concrete to create a long-term moisture resistant barrier and reduction of high pH due to 1L and other cement base challenges.

MRP Moisture Resistant Plus - A tough primer that handles multiple problems in one coat: moisture vapor up to 14 MVER, high pH, asbestos isolation, metal, solvent based dried adhesives, and tiles.

125 MVB Primer - A 100% epoxy primer that stops moisture on green or old concrete. Just roll it on over properly prepared surfaces. Requires 2-3 CSP profile.

Barrier SL - A self-leveling compound that stops moisture AND levels floors at the same time. Bonds to concrete, asphalt and itself, dries fast, and saves time and money in new and retro construction.

The key message: S3 products work together to solve moisture problems quickly and cost-effectively.

Moisture Control
MRP Primer
Project in a prominent office building in Chicago, old floor was removed and cut back adhesive was scraped to remove any loose material. A degreaser was used to remove oils from the surface.
The next morning an industry standard cementitious skim patch was applied and sanded. Carpet tile was applied using S3 4151 adhesive.
One coat of MRP barrier primer was roller applied at a 150 ft.² per gallon and allowed to dry overnight.
After MRP
We returned to the project six months later and pulled a number of carpet tiles to evaluate the system. All areas were secure, no leaching through MRP from the cut back adhesive, and all layers were properly bonded.
