1 UMB 3000 ULTRA MOISTURE BARRIER FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Mild Odor / No Odor When Dry Easy to use, no mixing Reduces Sub-Floor Moisture Maintains Great Elasticity Fills, Seals & Bridges Small Cracks The primary function of UMB 3000 is to reduce and maintain sub-floor moisture emissions at very low levels (typically, 3lbs/1000 sq ft / 24 hours, per the calcium chloride test, ASTM F ), well below what is required for installing hardwood flooring, including solid wood flooring, exotic wood species and parquet tile. UMB 3000 is a premium moisture cure urethane formulation that elongates and retains elasticity (elongation is over 500%). The elongation accommodates random cracks up to 1/8 in concrete or terrazzo that might develop after installation. UMB 3000 provides acoustical benefits in addition to the sub-floor moisture emission protection and crack suppressant benefits. Parabond s 2010 Urethane Wood Adhesive is a companion product to UMB Th ey are completely compatible and bond extremely well together, to provide an all urethane installation system for all types of wood flooring UMB 3000 is an excellent preventive system to ensure sub-floor moisture emissions never ruin an otherwise beautiful wood flooring installation. Since the vast majority of subfloor moisture problems develop after the flooring is installed. Limited Lifetime warranty on residential and small commercial installations (up to 4,000 square feet). DESCRIPTION: Millennium Series UMB 3000 Ultra Moisture Barrier is a residential/light commercial product, for installations up to 4000 square feet. If installation is over 4000 sq. ft. contact Para-Chem s Technical It is a one-part trowel applied urethane moisture barrier, crack suppressant and acoustical sub-floor membrane system. When applied correctly, it forms a sub-floor membrane of mils that shields and protects glue down hardwood flooring from harmful sub-floor moisture emissions. UMB 3000 is formulated to remain elastic throughout its life cycle to accommodate the normal movement, expansion and contraction of sub-floors and wood flooring without fracturing or compromising the protection and integrity of the wood flooring installation. UMB 3000 can be applied to new construction concrete, which has cured for 30 days. The most efficient use and recommended application for UMB 3000 is to apply it to new construction concrete sub-floors as a maintenance moisture emission membrane. The membrane protects wood flooring installations against fluctuations and escalations of sub-floor moisture emissions for the life of the wood floor. A dry sub-floor today, does not guarantee a dry sub-floor in the future. Sub-floor moisture emissions constantly change; therefore, UMB 3000 is a wise investment to protect wood flooring against future changes in the sub-floor. IMPORTANCE OF MOISTURE TESTING: Para-Chem strongly recommends moisture testing of all sub-floors and {especially concrete} prior to installing any type of floor covering or applying a moisture membrane to the sub floor. UMB 3000 is a high quality moisture cure urethane that provides an excellent membrane that protects against sub-floor

2 moisture emissions when applied correctly. However, excessive sub-floor moisture emissions {approximately 6 lbs / 1000 sq ft per 24 hours and above} indicates a serious job site moisture condition that must be investigated and the source eliminated before proceding. The preceding sentence should not be interpreted to mean that UMB 3000 cannot be applied if the sub-floor is above 6 pounds. UMB 3000, is capable of protecting the wood flooring against sub-floor moisture damage wherever it is applied to the sub-floor. However, it will not address an overall jobsite moisture problem. Excessive sub-floor moisture is a very serious issue and can cause extensive damage and problems within the building and its furnishings. In addition, excessive moisture can create health issues, as it promotes the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. DO NOT attempt to mask a jobsite moisture problem by simply applying UMB 3000 to a certain area of the sub-floor. First, identify and eliminate the source of the excessive moisture, then apply UMB The only way to determine if a sub-floor moisture problem exists is to conduct moisture test, therefore, pre-testing sub-floor moisture levels is prudent and highly recommended by Para-Chem. SUB-FLOOR PREPARATION PROCEDURES 1. UMB 3000 can be applied on the following sub-floors (concrete, terrazzo, plywood, OSB, ceramic tile {must be abraded}, cement backer boards, and radiant heated sub-floors, (except for radiant heat systems in gypsum based sub-floor). 2. Concrete must be cured a minimum of 30 days. 3. ALL sub-floors must be clean and structurally sound. It must be free of old adhesives, oils, curing agents, paints, sealers, sheetrock debris, and all gypsum based levelers or patches. 4. Do not apply UMB 3000 if there is visual dampness or water on the sub-floor. Obvious water or moisture conditions must be corrected prior to the installation of UMB Follow the wood manufacturers specifications for sub-floor flatness and levelness. Dips and rises in the sub-floor must be corrected prior to installing UMB 3000 to prevent follow spots afterwards. 6. Leveling, patching, grinding and all repairs to the sub-floor must be completed BEFORE installation of UMB 3000 can begin. Portland based levelers and patches must be allowed to dry COMPLETELY before applying UMB Cracks in the sub-floor greater than 1/8 in width must be properly prepared according to ASTM Standards prior to applying UMB DIRECTIONS: UMB 3000 is designed to be applied with a notched trowel. The coverage and coating thickness is determined and controlled by the trowel. Therefore, it is extremely important to use the correct trowel as illustrated on this label. Use of an incorrect trowel or using any other type tool to apply UMB 3000 will void all warranties associated with this product. Cure times vary depending on the humidity, temperature and job site conditions. Allow UMB 3000 to cure 16 to 24 hours before starting to glue down the wood flooring. READ and understand all the Directions before starting to apply UMB Ensure that the room temperature is between 50 F - 85 F (10 C 29.4 C). 2. Follow the instructions for Sub-floor Preparation above. 3. Wear disposable gloves and safety glasses. Use a 1/8 -Width x 1/8 -Depth x 1/16 -Space U-notch trowel to apply UMB DO NOT apply with any other trowel or tool. 4. The objective is to apply approximately a mil solid homogeneous layer. The viscosity of UMB 3000 is designed to allow the trowel ridges to flatten, flow and run together to form a consistent urethane coating over the entire sub-floor, provided the subfloor is prepared according to the Sub- Floor Preparation Procedures. 5. An approximate coverage of Square Feet per gallon can be achieved with the above trowel and layer thickness depending on the sub-floor.

3 6. Higher humidity and temperature will accelerate the cure of UMB 3000, but it is recommended to wait for approximately hours for UMB 3000 to cure. 7. Use 2010 Urethane Wood Adhesive to install the flooring following the instructions of the adhesive pail label. 8. In order to maintain adequate moisture emission protection, DO NOT SKIP ANY AREAS when applying. It is better to have a heavier layer than one that is too thin. If areas are missed or applied too thin it will result in unsatisfactory moisture emission reduction performance and will void all warranties associated with UMB CLEAN-UP: It is important to clean up all tools and spills on any surfaces immediately and before it starts to cure. Once it has dried it will be difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Use a soft clean cloth dampened with Mineral Spirits to clean and remove any spills while it is still wet. CAUTION: Mineral Spirits is flammable. Read and follow all precautions on container label. CAUTION: Follow all manufactures recommendations and industry standards regarding subfloor preparation. NOTE: Do not use UMB 3000 over concrete slabs treated with curing compounds or sealers as well as over gypsum based patches/underlayments. Do not use UMB 3000 with VCT/Vinyl flooring materials. Do not use UMB 3000 over VCT/Vinyl when installing wood flooring. HEALTH AND SAFETY DATA: Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may cause irritation. Wash with soap and flowing water.
