Barrier Materials Manufacturer Water Vapor Transmission Rate
Premoulded Membrane® W. R. Meadows® 0.00 grains/sf/hr
VaporGuard® Reef® Industries 0.00 grains/sf/hr
15 mil Stego Wrap Stego Industries. 0.006 grains/sf/hr

Breathable carpet suitable vapor retarders that also comply with ACI 302 thickness recommendations:

10 mil Stego Wrap Stego Industries 0.037 perms
Rufco® 3000B Raven® Industries 0.023 perms
Griffolyn® T-105 Reef® Industries 0.021 perms
Griffolyn® T-85 Reef® Industries 0.027 perms
Dura-Skrim® D16WB Raven® Industries 0.040 perms

To comply with present and future ACI Committee 302 recommendations, the vapor retarder material itself must be at least 10 mils thick. A puncture resistance study supporting ACI recommendation has recently been published in the July 2000 issue of Concrete Construction Magazine.

Retarder materials where the vapor retarder thickness itself is less than 10 mils and does not comply with the ACI Committee recommendation:

Griffolyn® T-65 (8 mil) Reef® Industries 0.037 perms
Griffolyn® T-65G* Reef® Industries 0.037 perms
Rufco® 400 (4 mil) Raven® Industries 0.045 perms
Moistop® Plus* Fortifiber® 0.100 perms
*Fabric laminated materials: Total thickness exceeds ACI 302 recommendations, however the vapor retarding material itself is less than 10 mils. Puncture resistance of the retarder portion itself is dependent upon which side of the material is probed.
