ARDEX MC™ PLUS Moisture Control System PDS | MSDS
A two-coat, 100% solids epoxy moisture control system formulated to suppress moisture vapor emissions in new or existing concrete prior to the installation of ARDEX Americas Underlayments.
Product Capabilities:
It is especially suited to treat areas of new concrete that may still be damp or have very high moisture readings, up to 98% RH. ARDEX MC PLUS is also used over existing concrete where the level of moisture emissions from the slab exceeds the maximum allowed by the manufacturer of the finished floor covering.
The ARDEX MC PLUS system is based on a reactive epoxy that produces a hard surface and bonds tenaciously to the substrate. There are two components: the ARDEX MC™ PLUS PRIMER, which is red in color and is installed as the base coat, and the ARDEX MC™ PLUS SEALER, which is dark green in color and serves as the sealer coat. After sufficient drying, the surface of the system is then primed prior to
installing the selected ARDEX Americas underlayments and then the final finish flooring. Once cured, this two-coat system reduces any level of moisture emissions to an acceptable level, even over new concrete that is only 7 days old.
No sand broadcast is necessary for underlayment layers of 1/4” (6 mm) thick or less. For thicker applications, apply a third coat of ARDEX MC PLUS with a sand broadcast, or use the ARDEX MC ULTRA™ Moisture Control System.
ARDEX MC™ RAPID Moisture Control System PDS | MSDS
A one-coat, fast-track 100% solids epoxy moisture control system formulated to suppress moisture vapor emissions in new and existing concrete prior to installing ARDEX Americas Underlayments.

ARDEX MC RAPID is also used over existing concrete where the level of moisture emissions from the slab exceeds the maximum allowed by the manufacturer of the finished floor covering. Designed specifically for fast-track installations, ARDEX MC RAPID can receive an ARDEX Americas Underlayment in as little as 4 hours.
The ARDEX MC RAPID system is based on a reactive epoxy that produces a hard surface and tenaciously bonds to the substrate. Depending on moisture test results, ARDEX MC RAPID is applied at one of two thicknesses: 10 mils (250 microns) for moisture readings up to 85% RH (ASTM F2170), or 14 mils (350 microns) for moisture readings over 85% and up to 98% RH.
Once cured, this system reduces any amount of moisture emissions to acceptable levels, even over new concrete that is only 7 days old. No sand broadcast is necessary for underlayment layers of 1/4” (6 mm) thick or less. For thicker applications, apply a second coat of ARDEX MC RAPID with a sand broadcast, or use the ARDEX MC™ ULTRA or ARDEX MC™ PLUS Moisture Control Systems.
