Will vapor migration effect a RetroPlate floor?

Because the RetroPlate System is not a coating, any vapor migration can pass through the concrete and be released into the air without consequence. With the RetroPlate System, there is nothing to re-emulsify and detach from the floor. Because the RetroPlate System densifies the surface, it will also help reduce the amount of moisture passing through the floor. If the RetroPlate System is desired as a vapor barrier, Advanced Floor Products recommends that calcium chloride tests be performed before and after in order to determine its effectiveness.
