Product Overview
Moisture Trap™ is a two-component, 100% solids epoxy moisture mitigation primer designed to control moisture vapor transmission in concrete substrates prior to the installation of flooring and coating systems. Engineered to meet ASTM F3010 requirements for vapor permeance at recommended application thicknesses, Moisture Trap™ helps protect resinous flooring, vinyl, tile, terrazzo, wood flooring systems, and carpet installations from moisture-related failures.
This high-build epoxy primer can be applied to damp concrete and is formulated to resist hydrostatic pressure, creating a stable foundation for long-term flooring system performance in industrial, commercial, and institutional environments.
Typical Applications and Users
Moisture Trap™ is commonly used by facility maintenance departments, flooring contractors, plant engineers, and construction professionals responsible for concrete floor preparation and flooring system installation.
Typical applications include:
- Manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Processing and production plants
- Transportation and transit facilities
- Commercial and institutional buildings
- Utility and infrastructure facilities
- Concrete floors with elevated moisture vapor emissions
- Projects requiring moisture mitigation prior to flooring installation
The product is used as a moisture control primer beneath resinous coatings, epoxy flooring systems, vinyl flooring, tile, terrazzo, wood veneers, and carpet systems.
Used by Facility Maintenance and In-House Teams
Many industrial and commercial facilities use Moisture Trap™ as part of planned maintenance, renovation, and flooring upgrade projects. In-house maintenance teams can use the product to address moisture vapor concerns before installing new flooring systems or protective coatings, helping extend service life and reduce the risk of premature flooring failures.
Key benefits include:
- Controls moisture vapor transmission through concrete slabs
- Suitable for application to damp concrete substrates
- Helps improve adhesion of subsequent flooring and coating systems
- Resists hydrostatic pressure in challenging moisture conditions
- Provides a high-build protective primer layer
- Supports long-term flooring system durability
Used by Contractors and Professional Applicators
Flooring contractors, coating applicators, and construction professionals use Moisture Trap™ when moisture mitigation is required before installing finished flooring systems. Its high-build epoxy formulation helps create a consistent substrate condition that supports successful installation and long-term performance.
Contractors commonly specify Moisture Trap™ for:
- Resinous flooring installations
- Epoxy and urethane coating systems
- Vinyl and tile flooring projects
- Terrazzo flooring systems
- Commercial flooring renovations
- New construction and concrete rehabilitation projects
Supporting technical documentation is available to assist with surface preparation, application procedures, and system compatibility.
