Abstract:
Among the considerable challenges to the successful application of moisture sensitive flooring materials, perhaps the most common are curing the slab and obtaining good adhesive bond between the flooring and concrete. There appears, however, to be some confusion in the industry as to how to ensure that curing compounds are compatible with flooring adhesives. The effectiveness of specifying cure and seal compounds that conform to ASTM C1315 and suggestions for a successful flooring material application are discussed.
