The Barrier-1 Topical System is designed to protect existing floor surfaces by preventing moisture intrusion between a concrete substrate and installed carpeting, wood vinyl or other covering material. When properly installed, the Barrier-1 Topical System also eliminates mold and mildew growth.
The Barrier-1 system is designed stop hydrostatic pressure, capillary action and micro silica alkali attack on existing concrete floor surfaces. The system has zero volatile organic compounds (VOC) and requires no special handling or equipment.
The system is ideally suited to contribute points toward projects registered under the new LEED –EB: Operations & Maintenance Rating System.
LEED-EB is the newest of the series of LEED Ratings Systems, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is specifically designed to serve as a blueprint for sustainability practices for existing commercial buildings.
The Barrier-1 products produce a chemical reaction that creates a "gel" that completely fills the capillary system of the concrete floor, effectively shutting down the route of vapor emission and rendering the concrete non-hygroscopic. With a closed capillary system, hydration is completely even top to bottom, slab curl is greatly reduced or even eliminated, and the concrete is densified and the process increases the strength of the slab by an average of 14 percent.
Depending on specific situations, the Barrier-1 Topical System could potentially aid in securing LEED-EB points in the following categories: Sustainable Sites, Credits 2 and 7.1; Materials & Resources Credits 3 and 9; and Indoor Environmental Quality Credits 1.5, 3.2 and 3.4.
