An Introduction to Retro-Coat™ Vapor Intrusion Coating from Land Science Video

Vapor intrusion can cause significant uncertainty for building owners. Retro-Coat™ provides a simple and proven solution to a complex problem. Applying Retro-Coat can provide a building owner with long-term assurance that the vapor intrusion risk has been successfully mitigated, while at the same time, reducing the overall mitigation cost.

Retro-Coat is a chemically resistant coating, specifically designed to mitigate contaminant favor intrusion into existing structures. Apply directly to the existing concrete slab. Retro-Coat is specifically formulated to be resistant to chemicals of concern, commonly found in urban environments. These chemicals include PCE, TCE, and Benzene. The two-part application process ensures human health will be protected.

A former manufacturing facility in Los Angeles was being revitalized for use as a showroom and warehouse for an entertainment company. Retro-Coat was applied to the concrete slab of the facility to mitigate potential vapor intrusion risk. To prepare the surface for the Retro-Coat application, the concrete must first be shot-blasted to open the pores of the concrete and provide a rough surface.

Retro-Coat gel is applied to repair cracks in concrete imperfections. When complete, all existing cracks are repaired and sealed to eliminate the vapor pathway. The Retro-Coat primer is applied to the concrete surface to protect against water vapor intrusion and to prep the surface for Retro-Coat coating.

Retro-Coat is applied using a squeegee to retain a nominal thickness of 20 mls. The surface is then finished using a roller brush. Retro-Coat is specifically formulated to mitigate PCE, TCE, and Benzene vapors. It can be applied to mitigate a wide variety of building such as former industrial facilities, office buildings or any other type of structure.

Designed to withstand high traffic areas, Retro-Coat can also be customized to achieve almost any desirable look. Additionally, carpet, laminate, and tile floors can also be placed directly over Retro-Coat.
