VB Series of Under Slab Vapor Barriers
VB Series - Description
VB Series vapor barriers are IntePlus® XF membranes constructed to restrict moisture migration through concrete slabs. Manufactured by Inteplast Group, these membranes are available in 11 and 16 mil thickness. VB Series vapor barriers are also offered as com-posites: IntePlus® membrane laminated to polypropylene nonwoven geo-textiles, for added strength to meet the toughest performance specifications. These materials are made from proprietary polyolefin resins and have been independently tested against ASTM E 1745 requirements (Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Barriers used in contact with earth under concrete slabs) showing superior permeance and physical properties.
VB Series - Application
VB Series vapor barriers restrict transmission of water vapor from passing upward through concrete slabs-on-grade. Properly installed VB Series vapor barriers will protect floors susceptible to moisture damage from vapor migration through the concrete slab. Also,
VB Series vapor barriers significantly decrease interior moisture condensation, mold and help provide a dryer, healthier environment to your building.
VB Series - Availability
VB Series vapor barriers are available in roll sizes 12.75´≈ 200´ in 11 mil and 12.75´≈ 150´ in 16 mil thickness. Other sizes are available upon request.

3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape is a proprietary, self-adhe-sive composite membrane, that uniquely combines high strength and low temperature adhesion into a superior barrier to limit moisture transmission. As part of the Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier series, Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape is formulated to be installed in ambient temperatures of 40°F to 120°F and pro-vides a strong bond to seal Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier seams, penetrations and repairs. The Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape works perfectly with Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier products to form an interlocking, mechani-cal bond and tightly blocks moisture migration from entering through seams.
3.1 COMPOSITION
Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape is a ribbed 28 mil thick tape with a very high adhesive strength to seal all seams. The tough outer layer is a 5 mil multi-ply,
textured, cross-laminated membrane manufactured from proprietary polyethylene resin with a long life expectancy underground. The adhesive coating is a 23 mil modified asphalt that offers superior adhe-sive strength in low temperature. For best adhesion results, it is recommended that Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape be used within 12 months of purchase.
3.2 SIZE & PACKAGING
Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape is 4 inches by 150 feet per roll and weighs approximately 7.5 pounds per roll.
There are 9 rolls of Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape per carton and 180 rolls (20 cartons) per pallet.

5.0 INSTALLATION
All surfaces must be clean, dry and smooth. Remove the release sheet. Roll Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape firmly to insure uniform contact with Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier.
Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape should be applied between 40°F to 120°F and with a rubber roller to roll over the seam area to insure good initial adhesion.
Seam: Install Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier per manu-facturer’s recommendations and overlap seams a minimum of 6 inches. Seal overlap with Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape.
Slab Penetration: Fabricate a pipe boot by cutting a section of Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier a minimum of 12 inches wide and 1.5 times the pipe circumference. Cut slits in Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier to half the width. Wrap the pipe penetration with slits extend-ing out onto the Barrier-Bac Vapor Barrier. Tape around the pipe and base with Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape. When applying Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape in ambient temperatures, store Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape at room temperature (77°F) until use and prime the substrate with a polymer or solvent based primer to get good adhesion. Pallets of Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape should not be double stacked in storage or at job site, and when storing, always provide cover on top and all sides of pallets.
6.0 AVAILABILITY & COST
Barrier-Bac XF Seam Tape is available nationally through out network of building supply companies. Please contact our corporate office for a distributor in your area. Pricing may be obtained by contacting your local Barrier-Bac Products distributor or sales representative.

Barrier-Bac vapor barrier membranes are co-extruded, bi-axially oriented, cross laminated polyethylene membranes manufactured using proprietary polyolefin resins. These vapor barrier materials, VB-250, VB-350 and VBC-350, are 11, 16 and 31 mils thick, respectively. These products meet and exceed ASTM E 1745-09 Class A qualification and are very effective in protecting concrete slab-on-grade and sensitive flooring systems from damage caused by water moisture vapor migration through concrete slabs.
LEED Compliance: The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) does not certify that specific products comply with the guidelines set forth in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for New Construction and Major Renovations. However, the guidelines state clearly that products with certain prop-erties qualify for points used in the LEED project certification. Based on LEED 2009, the properties of Barrier-Bac VB-250,VB-350 and VBC-350 vapor barrier membranes are associated with the following LEED points:
LEED EA Credit 1: Optimize Energy Performance (1-19 Points)The intent of this credit is to achieve increasing levels of energy performance beyond the prerequisite standard to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use. Project teams may contribute to the number of points accumulated in this category by using Barrier-Bac vapor barri-ers to optimize energy performance. Barrier-Bac vapor barrier products play a key role in maintaining the structure’s energy efficiency and aiding in the reduction of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) costs. The use of these products contributes to reduction of energy consumption of the whole building.
LEED MR Credit 5: Regional Materials (1-2 Points)The intent of this credit is to increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufac-tured within the region. For all projects within a 500-mile radius of Lolita, TX, using Barrier-Bac can help achieve this credit.
LEED IEQ Credit 4.1 Low Emitting Materials – Adhesives and Sealant (1 Point)LEED IEQ Credit 4.3 Low Emitting Materials – Flooring Systems (1 Point)The intent of these credits is to reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants. All the flooring systems and the adhesives used must comply with the required Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emitting limits. However, vapor moisture migrated from concrete slabs is always a threat to the performance of these low emitting materials. Barrier-Bac products can protect low emitting floors and adhesives installed in the building.
LEED IEQ Credit 7.1: Thermal Comfort – Design (1 Point)The intent of this credit is to provide a comfortable thermal environment that promotes occupant productivity and well-being. The project team has to design heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and the build-ing envelope to meet requirements. Barrier-Bac under slab vapor barrier contributes to the design of the building envelope and systems that meet the comfort criteria under expected environmental and use conditions. By blocking the moisture from entering the building, Barrier-Bac products improve indoor environmental quality and protect the health of occupants. For more information, please contact [email protected] or call (877) 535-0555.
* We believe Barrier-Bac vapor barrier materials may be used to help qualify for project LEED credit from the above items, however, it is at the discretion of the design professional to determine whether these qualify for each case.
