PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONVaporBlock ® is a high performance underslab vaporretarder designed to retard moisture migration throughconcrete slabs-on-grade. This product is made from state-of-the-art polyethylene resins that provide superior physicaland performance properties that far exceed ASTM E-1745(Plastic Water Vapor Retarders Used in Contact with Soil orGranular Fill Under Concrete Slabs) Class A, B and Crequirements.

High tensile strength, unequaled puncture resistance, ultra-low moisture vapor permeability as well as resistance todecay make VaporBlock one of the most e�ectiveunderslab vapor retarders on the market today! Available in6,10 and 15 mil thicknesses to best meet requiredperformance speci�cations.

PRODUCT USEVaporBlock impedes the transmission of water vapor fromtraveling upward through a concrete slab-on-grade orthrough a concrete wall when properly installed. It isextremely important to avoid puncturing a vapor retarderduring installation to assure proper performance.VaporBlock’s puncture strength is second to none,withstanding even the most demanding installationconditions.

VaporBlock vapor retarders protect your �ooring and othermoisture sensitive furnishings in your building’s interior frommoisture migration. VaporBlock vapor retarders can alsogreatly reduce condensation, mold and degradation bycontrolling water vapor migration.

SIZE & PACKAGINGVaporBlock 6 &10 are available in 15’ wide rolls by 200’long for ease of installation and maximum coverage. VaporBlock 15 is available in 12’ wide rolls by 200’ long.Other custom sizes are available depending upon size andvolume requirements. All rolls are folded and rolled onheavy-duty cores for ease in handling and installation.Installation instructions and ASTM E-1745 classi�cationsaccompany each roll.
