As moisture continues to plague concrete slabs on jobsites around the globe, the products used to mitigate moisture vapor emission issues must evolve and so too must the standards governing those products. Up until recently, there has only been one standard that covers two-component resin-based products, excluding their single component, fluid-applied counterparts.
As of September 2024, the ASTM F06 Committee approved ASTM F3513, Standard Practice for Single Component, Fluid-Applied Membrane-Forming Moisture Mitigations for Use Under Resilient Floor Coverings. This comes more than a decade after the passing of ASTM F3010 that is only applicable to the two-component resin-based products. While the two moisture mitigation systems share some commonalities, there are significant differences that are important to understand that have the potential to impact project timelines and bottom lines.
