PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier

PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier is a new generation of polyolefin-based resin/chemical technology. PERMINATOR provides the vapor barrier industry with a highly effective, economical choice for helping to reduce the penetration of moisture and water vapor through the slab into the structure, thereby helping to reduce fungus, mildew and mold growth. PERMINATOR also helps reduce radon gas from entering the structure. PERMINATOR is tough enough to withstand normal construction jobsite conditions and traffic. It will not crack, puncture, snag, split, or tear easily.

PERMINATOR helps meet and maintain the maximum slab moisture transfer rate of 3 lb./1000 ft.²/24 hours, as allowed by the flooring industry's specifications. PERMINATOR is available in 10 mil and 15 mil thicknesses. Both versions are furnished in 61 m long rolls.

PERMINATOR is primarily designed for underslab construction, where the soil has been tamped and leveled or compacted fill has been applied. The 61 m long sheets are unrolled as is or cut to size and installed using the overlapping method.
