LokWorx are not a moisture mitigation system and will not stop moisture from moving within and out of a concrete slab.

• RH-85% (ASTM F-2170), provided the site is absent of hydrostatic pressure.
• CaCl / MVER 5 lbs (ASTM F-1869).
• pH-12 (ASTM F-710).

For older slabs that have a prior history of moisture related issues, an industry accepted moisture mitigation system in the form of a 2-part epoxy, such as MoistureTEK, may be necessary.

For newer slabs with an intact moisture barrier, initial moisture levels should recede over time. For recorded levels above 95%, higher moisture resistant adhesives are recommended.

• Substrate must be structurally sound, clean, level and dry.
• Substrate must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, paint, curing agents, concrete sealers, adhesives, loosely bonded toppings, loose particles and any other substance or condition that may prevent or reduce adhesion.
• Do not use over substrates containing asbestos or active cutback.
• Fill depressions or cracks with a cementitious patching / leveling compound that meet or exceed Shaw Industries maximum moisture level and pH requirements. Use of gypsum-based patching and/or leveling compounds which contain Portland or high alumina cement and meet or exceed the compressive strength of 3,000 psi are acceptable.
• Installation site must be acclimated with HVAC in operation or the temperature must be controlled between 65-95 ° F (18-35 ° C) and the ambient relative humidity controlled between 30-65% before, during and permanently after the installation.
