Viper II VaporCheck 15 mil Class A Vapor Barrier

 Viper II 15-mil is a unique high strength polyolefinbased under-slab vapor barrier specifically designed for preventing moisture migration through concrete slabson-grade. Viper II 15-mil reduces water vapor emission transfer and moisture migration from entering the building envelope on commercial, industrial and residential applications. Viper II 15-mil controls condensation, mold, mildew, degradation and prevents costly flooring failures and damage to moisture sensitive furnishings within a building’s interior. Viper II 15-mil may be used to reduce radon and methane gas migration and is resistant to other adverse soil conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Viper II 15-mil can aid in controlling soil gas and poisons
such and methane and radon.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Viper II 15-mil exceeds all ASTM E 1745 “Class A”
requirements for under-slab vapor retarders.
INSTALLATION
SUB-GRADE PREPARATION
Level and tamp or roll granular base as specified by the
architectural or structural drawings.
VAPOR BARRIER PLACEMENT
Unroll Viper 15-mil with the longest dimension parallel
with the direction of the pour. Unfold to full width.
Extend Viper 15-mil over footings and seal to foundation
wall, grade beam or slab at an elevation consistent with
the top of the slab or terminate at impediments, such as
water stops or dowels. Use Viper Double Bond Tape or a
combination of Viper Double Bond Tape and Viper Vapor
Tape at such termination
