Independent Lab Reports Prove PERMINATOR® Is Best Plastic Vapor Barrier on the Market

July 06, 2009

Hampshire, IL – Recently, PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier from W. R. MEADOWS was submitted for independent lab testing. The independent lab testing confirmed that PERMINATOR has the industry’s best water vapor permeance rating, bar none. These test results prove that PERMINATOR far exceeds the requirements of the ASTM E 1745 specification, and exceeds the technical characteristics of other competing products on the market. Bottom line, PERMINATOR is unequalled in the marketplace for water vapor permeance. PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier is a new generation of polyolefin-based resin/chemical technology. PERMINATOR provides the vapor barrier industry with a highly effective 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 also helps reduce radon gas from entering the structure. PERMINATOR is tough enough to withstand normal construction jobsite conditions and traffic. It will not crack, puncture, snag, split, or tear easily. PERMINATOR is primarily designed for underslab construction, where the soil has been tamped and leveled or compacted fill has been applied. The 200’ (61m) long sheets are unrolled as is or cut to size and installed using the overlapping method.
