Hycrete System V

Vapor Protection for Flooring on Concrete Slabs

Hycrete System V protects flooring against moisture in below-, on-, and above-grade concrete slabs. Hycrete System V consists of:

1. Hycrete W1000 admixture

Reduce moisture vapor transmission through concrete
Prevent moisture entering concrete through wicking/capillary action
Avoid delays from rewetting

2. Hycrete-approved vapor barrier system (for below- and on-grade slabs)

3. Technical field service – ensure that all appropriate steps are taken to deliver a structure protected from vapor transmission problems

4. Hycrete IntegraTek Vapor Warranty – 10-year performance warranty

Benefits:

Install flooring 28 days after concrete placement, even when slabs are exposed to rewetting
Reduce delays and install flooring sooner

Superior protection against moisture damage to flooring

Avoid unsightly floors – expansion, cupping, peaking, curling, buckling, bubbling, blistering, gapping / seam separation, debonding, delamination, adhesive failure, oozing/bleeding, warping, staining, efflorescence, discoloration, mold growth, mildew, fungi
Reduce moisture transmission through concrete and prevent water from entering concrete

Reduced construction time and related cost savings

No delays from concrete rewetting – no need to wait for concrete to dry out sufficiently to meet moisture testing requirements
No need to apply separate primer and wait for it to dry
Avoid delays and call-backs related to flooring damage

Reduce risk of floor failure

Owners and specifiers – avoid legal claims and costs related to trip hazards
Specifiers – avoid the time and inconvenience of flooring issues from moisture damage

Reduce risk of adhesive bond failure

Avoid alkaline conditions that can cause adhesive bonds to be destroyed
Reduce replacement and maintenance
Extend the life of flooring and reduce replacement frequency

Sustainable solution

Reduce replacement requirements
Contribute to LEED points
No VOCs

It is estimated that over $1 billion dollars a year are spent by owners on remediating flooring due to moisture penetration. Huge areas of flooring may have to be replaced, causing disruption to a building site or to an occupied building. With Hycrete System V, you can protect against this.
