SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Feb. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raven Industries Engineered Films Division (Nasdaq:RAVN) announces the VaporBlock® Spec3 Showcase, a select under-concrete-slab barrier series. The Spec3 Showcase contains three major categories with key products for superior gas and moisture protection. The showcase includes signature VaporBlock® 15 mil with enhanced low-permeability, eco-friendly VaporBlock® G™ with recycled post-consumer content, and advanced VaporBlock® Plus™ providing the latest in gas barrier technology. The official VaporBlock Spec3 Showcase product launch is February 5-8 in conjunction with the World of Concrete® show in Las Vegas, NV at the Raven booth #S12510.

Category: Moisture-Vapor | VaporBlock 15 mil underslab vapor barrier is co-extruded with state-of-the-art premium resins designed to achieve an impressive 0.0076 perms after conditioning, far exceeding the required ASTM E1745-11 for under-concrete-slab barriers, providing a high performance barrier with virtually zero-permeability and industry leading puncture resistance for commercial grade installations.
Category: Recycled-LEED | VaporBlock G 15 mil is an innovative green alternative vapor barrier; co-extruded with premium resins in the outer layers and post-consumer recycled content in the core. VaporBlock G is the first vapor barrier on the market to exceed ASTM E1745-11 Class A standards, and qualify for additional LEED project credit with recycled content.
Category: Gas & Moisture | VaporBlock Plus is an impressive 7-layer underslab gas and moisture barrier incorporating cutting-edge barrier technology to prevent harmful methane, radon, and dangerous VOCs from migrating through concrete slabs into occupied structures.
