Description
PERMINATOR HP underslab vapor barrier is a new generation of polyolefin-based resin/chemical technology. PERMINATOR HP 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 HP also helps reduce radon gas from entering the structure.
New resin technology allows dramatically greater puncture resistance while maintaining one of the lowest perm ratings in the market.
PERMINATOR HP is tough enough to withstand normal construction jobsite conditions and traffic. It will not crack, puncture, snag, split, or tear easily.
PERMINATOR HP prevents uncontrolled moisture from entering the slab allowing the slab to maintain the maximum slab moisture emission rate and relative humidity level as allowed by flooring manufacturer’s specifications.
PERMINATOR HP rolls require fewer seams in application. Installation is quick and easy. All joints/seams, both side and end, should be overlapped 6″ (152.4 mm) and taped using 4″ (101.6 mm) wide PERMINATOR TAPE from W. R. MEADOWS. PERMINATOR HP rolls fast and smoothly over level tamped soil or compacted fill.
USES
PERMINATOR HP underslab vapor barrier is primarily designed for underslab construction, where the soil has been tamped and leveled or compacted fill has been applied. The 200’ (61 m) long sheets are unrolled as is or cut to size and installed using the overlapping method. Overlaps are 6” (152.4 mm) wide and these seams are sealed using 4” (101.6 mm) wide PERMINATOR TAPE.
PERMINATOR HP can also be used as a protection course for waterproofing membranes. The desired sheet lengths are cut to size and retained at the top of the waterproofing membranes by PERMINATOR TAPE or TERMINATION BAR from W R. MEADOWS.
The product can also be used in crawlspace applications.
