TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 Vapor Reducing Epoxy Primer is a fluid-applied, uniquely modified, epoxy moisture mitigating primer. It is designed to be used as an above grade and below grade vapor retarder that is placed on the negative side of the concrete substrate. As a vapor emission suppressor, one application of TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 will withstand moisture vapor emission rates of up to 10 lbs./1000 square feet/24 hrs. Two (2) applications will withstand moisture vapor emission rates of up to 15 lbs./1000 square feet/24 hrs. It is recommended for use under impervious non-breathing epoxy flooring systems or traffic-bearing waterproofing systems that cannot withstand high levels of moisture vapor transmission.

TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 is ideal for use under TUFFLEX non-breathing flooring systems and traffic-bearing waterproofing systems.

As a general rule, most flooring and deck coating manufacturers do not recommend installing their products on concrete surfaces having moisture vapor emissions rate levels in excess of 3.0 lbs. of moisture emission when measured over a 1,000 square foot area during a 24 hour time period as measured by an anhydrous Calcium Chloride Test Procedure tested in accordance with ASTM F1869.

TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 is applied in either single applications of 8 mils wet/dry film thickness or two applications at 8 mils wet/dry film thickness per each coat. TUFFLEX POLYMERS resinous flooring systems and waterproofing coatings may be applied directly to the TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111. Consult TUFFLEX POLYMERS for recommendations regarding potential intermediate coating products for non-TUFFLEX POLYMERS products.

Formulated with environmental requirements in mind, TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 contains no hydrocarbon solvents and thus meets all volatile organic substance regulations. TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 has no significant odor during installation.

• Apply TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 to prepared dry substrate with a CSP 3 – 5 surface preparation. Apply at a coverage rate of 200 square feet (18.6 sq. m.) per gallon.
• Allow to dry between coats (8 – 10 hours cure time at 75° F / 50% RH.)
• For moisture mitigation up to 15 lbs./1000 square feet/24 hrs., a second application of TUFF-POXY PRIMER VRP-111 is required, applied at 200 square feet per gallon.
• Allow to cure a minimum of 8 – 10 hours prior to placement of surfacing material.
