Viper II VaporCheck Mastic
Viper II VaporCheck Mastic is a high-performance, single-component, trowel-grade polymer-modified emulsion designed for use as a waterproofing and vapor barrier solution. This product forms a tough, seamless elastomeric membrane, providing excellent resistance to moisture and vapor transmission. Ideal for use with Viper under-slab vapor barriers, VaporCheck Mastic is suitable for new construction and retrofitting projects. It can be applied to a variety of surfaces including concrete, metal, wood, and foam, offering flexibility in demanding construction environments.
The latex-modified asphalt clay emulsion is easy to apply with a trowel or putty knife, ensuring that penetrations around pipes and rebar are sealed effectively. VaporCheck Mastic is free of harmful substances like VOCs and asbestos, making it a safe and eco-friendly choice for your projects. Whether applied to steep or vertical surfaces, it holds firm without sagging or running. Its fast-curing formula allows for quick job completion, typically curing in 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
This mastic provides strong adhesion even on damp surfaces, making it a versatile solution for challenging conditions. By creating a monolithic barrier around penetrations, it enhances the moisture protection for the entire structure, helping to prevent long-term damage caused by water or vapor infiltration.
