Concrete
Moisture Vapor Emission
THE
PROBLEM - INTERIOR SLAB MOISTURE
"Floor finishes
have been failing in increasing quantities and more numerously
in construction projects every year. Part of this phenomenon is
due to the speed we build, part due to the location of the project
facility, part due to the mandatory change in sensitivity from
adhesives and floor finish materials, and mandatory VOC limitations.
All of these factors have contributed to moisture issues surrounding
flooring systems. On Track Technologies has solved these moisture
problems since 2001 as a full service Company and before that
as a representative and subcontracting project manager and installation
group for a Supplier since 1996.
All
floor finishes are subject to a potential to fail due to this
problem including terrazzo, tile, wood, ceramic, and carpet. Polymer
floors also fail significantly since their ability to “breathe”
is severally limited just as their protection of the concrete
substrate is essential when spilled corrosives cannot get to the
concrete below the surface. With few exclusions and exceptions,
On Track Technologies has partnered with numerous floor moisture
repair product manufacturers and has solved many serious projects
– some with unsuccessfully installed competitive repair materials
already failing themselves." |
