Moisture Remediation System

The installation of low permeability flooring such as sheet vinyl, composite tile and polymer floor coatings over concrete with high levels of moisture vapor has been an industry problem for many years. Even with better levels of education and awareness of potential flooring failure, the problem persists and creates millions of dollars in damages each year.

Beautiful and functional flooring installed over concrete with moisture issues can turn into a nightmare situation for building owners, contractors, flooring manufacturers and design professionals. Assigning liability often ends in an expensive legal battle.

Arizona Polymer Flooring has formulated and manufactured specialized floor coatings since 1985 and has been a serious student of moisture related flooring failures for over 10 years. We have developed two highly specialized epoxy coating systems to remedy all levels of moisture intrusion. Our moisture remediation library offers valuable information on understanding the dynamics of concrete moisture, accurate moisture testing, proper slab design to prevent moisture problems and information on our remediation system including product data, architectural specifications and warranties.

Our Moisture Remediation Systems

EMS System 1
EMS Remediation System #1 is a one coat application of EMS-100 over concrete where reactive silicates have not been previously applied. The application rate is 100 sq. ft. per gallon to yield a dry film thickness of 16 mils. The single coat application improves the economics and saves a trip to the jobsite in fast-track construction projects.

EMS System 2
EMS Remediation System #2 uses a unique water-based epoxy primer, EMS-P over the concrete and finishes with EMS-100 to give a two coat system. Both materials are applied at 200 sq. ft. per gallon to yield a dry film thickness of 11.44 mils. System #2 must be used if reactive silicates have been previously applied to the concrete or if the history of the concrete cannot be positively determined. The use of EMS-P is guaranteed to eliminate adhesion failures due to silicate contamination.
