Regular Cure VRM is a two-component vapor reduction membrane coating. With its solid opaque color and
glossy finish it can be used to restore floors or protect new floors. It will control moisture vapor emission
rates up to 25 lb. /24 hr. /1000 square feet all while providing excellent physical and chemical resistance.
This coating has been approved by the CFIA, USDA, FDA, and meets LEED standards.
APPLICATIONS
Regular Cure VRM is formulated as a high solid
system for classrooms, laboratories, mechanical
rooms, areas of light manufacturing, where
cleanliness and easy maintenance are required.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean, sound and dry. Prior to coating a floor all trowel marks and surface imperfections must
be removed to produce a smooth & uniform surface. Proper surface preparation is critical to ensure an

adequate chemical bond to substrate. Substrate must be dry and free of all wax, grease, oils, fats, soil,
contaminants, loose or foreign matter and laitance. Concrete should be cleaned and prepared using a shot
blast machine or adequate grinding equipment to achieve a CSP-3 to CSP-4 profile as per ICRI guidelines.
Compressive strength of concrete should be at least 3,500 psi (24 Mpa) @ 28 days and at least 215 psi (1.5
Mpa) in tension at time of product application.
MIXING
Regular Cure VRM is supplied in factory proportioned quantities, greatly reducing the risk of applicator error
during mixing.
Step 1 - Mechanically premix PART A (resin) with an appropriate slow speed drill equipped with a Jiffy
Mixer, for 1 minute.
Step 2 - Slowly empty entire content of PART B into container holding PART A and continue to mix slowly
for 3 minutes until uniform consistency in texture and color is achieved. Avoid unnecessary entrapment
of air during mixing. Make sure to scrape walls and bottom of container with straight edged trowel at
least once to ensure homogeneous mix. Make sure to empty ALL contents of PART B into PART A to
avoid system weakening or incomplete curing.
DO NOT MIX MORE MATERIAL THAN CAN BE APPLIED WITHIN WORKING TIME LIMITS.
POT LIFE
After mixing, Regular Cure VRM has a pot life of approximately 50-60 minutes at 77˚F. Pot life
depends on ambient and surface conditions.
APPLICATION
Regular Cure VRM should be applied at ambient and surface temperatures between 59-82˚F and humidity
below 80%. Regular Cure VRM is applied with a rubber squeegee and back rolled with a 10mm lint-free nap
roller (on smooth surfaces) to remove squeegee lines and smooth out coating. Additional coats may be
applied when surface is tack-free (roughly 8 hours). Do not exceed first 24 post-application hours for
recoating. By exceeding this 24 hour recoat time limit, the entire surface must be lightly sanded to
achieve desired profile for a proper mechanical bond. Clean up all dust and debris created by
aforementioned sanding prior to applying subsequent coat.
CURING
Regular Cure VRM is tack-free in approximately 8 hours at 77˚F. Coated area may be put back into service
after 24 hours. Curing is complete and full product characteristics are achieved after 10 days. Curing
times dependent upon ambient & surface conditions.
PRECAUTIONS & LIMITATIONS
Prior to application, measure and confirm Substrate Moisture Content, Ambient and Surface temperatures
and Dew Point.
Substrate Moisture: Moisture within substrate must be ≤4% by mass as measured by concrete moisture
meter on mechanically prepared surface.
Dew Point: AVOID CONDENSATION. The substrate must be at least 37˚F above Dew Point to reduce risk
of condensation. Condensation may lead to failure in adhesion. Avoid situations where substrate
temperature is considerably lower than ambient temperature.
Do not add thinners or solvents to mix. Do not add water. Dispose of waste materials in accordance with government regulations. The use of
safety glasses and protective gloves is required. In case of contact, flush areas with abundance of water for 20 minutes and seek medical
assistance. Wash skin with soap and water. Use only in well ventilated areas.
