VAPOR SHIELD
DENSIFIER/VAPOR BARRIER
VAPOR SHIELD is a chemical hardener, densifier, soluble chloride reducer used over bare concrete prior to cementitious overlay applications. Vapor Shield blocks and reduces vapor emissions through the concrete but leaves concrete breathable. It blocks hydrostatic pressure up to 20 psi. It does not alter the color of concrete, nor does it make the surface slippery or less slippery. Vapor Shield helps to reduce efflorescence on floors. It reduces the green window from 28 days to an average of 5 days. Vapor Shield reduces vapor emissions for application of surface coatings such as poly-urea coatings, epoxy coatings, urethane coatings, as well as carpet, floor tile, sheet vinyl and hardwood flooring materials.

SURFACE PREPARATION
- Surface must be free from oils, grease, curing agents, coatings, sealers or any other products that would inhibit the penetration of the sealer.
- The surface being treated should be pre-dampened with water, using a very light mist prior to application of the sealer
APPLICATION
METHODS
- Paint Brush
- Broom
- Low Pressure Sprayer
INSTRUCTIONS
Horizontal Surfaces
- Avoid over-application and puddling on horizontal surfaces. Excess unreacted Vapor Seal will leave white crystals on concrete. Brush or broom to more porous area.
Vertical Surfaces
- Apply from top to bottom to point of refusal.
- Apply sealer in two even coats using a low pressure sprayer.
- After the first coat has soaked in, immediately apply the second coat.
- Apply only as much material as the surface will readily absorb.
- Areas that absorb sealer at faster rate will require additional coats.
- After the final coat of sealer is dry, spray a light mist of water over the treated area.
- After the first water mist is dry to touch, apply a second water mist.

WARRANTY SHEET >
Multicoat Corporation offers a special 5-year Limited Materials Warranty to Trained and Certified Applicators. This Limited Warranty (effective upon date of purchase) protects the Applicator against delamination problems with all Multicoat systems, as well as water intrusion of Multicoat’s Waterproofing System, provided:
1. Multicoat system has been properly applied by a certified applicator.
2. Problem is determined to be due to defect of Multicoat Corporation’s products.
3. Applicator has prepared and filed the required Warranty Information Form(s) with Multicoat Products, Inc. covering the specific customer job(s).
NOTE:
Warranty is not applicable if there is movement or cracking of the underlying base and/or the weight bearing cement covering of the waterproofing membrane.
Failure to adhere to good construction and workmanship practices based on industry standard construction, means, methods, sequences and techniques could result in delamination, de-bonding and water intrusion for which Multicoat will not be responsible.
The end user must look to the Certified Applicator for satisfaction if any problem develops with the Multicoat system covered by the warranty. Multicoat suggests that the customer:
1. Use only a licensed contractor in good standing (fully bonded).
2. Make certain that the applicator has been certified by Multicoat, prior to work
commencing or certification while on the job. A simple phone call to Multicoat is sufficient to determine if an applicator is certified and if such certification is in
good standing.
In the event that it is determined that the Applicator failed to install the system(s) in accordance with Multicoat’s “instructions for use” or “specifications”, the warranty is void. See specific warranty information below.
