HITEC Vapor Barriers
HITEC Vapor Barriers
Vapor barrier geomembranes are designed to prevent moisture, gas, and vapor transmission and are commonly used in construction, environmental protection, and industrial applications where controlling vapor intrusion is critical.
By introducing a thin layer of EVOH, a material with extremely low permeability to gases, HITEC has developed a range of gas barrier liners which are ideal for a number of applications,
HITEC Vapor Barriers are engineered to provide exceptional resistance to moisture and gas transmission, protecting buildings from the ground up. Manufactured with high-quality polyethylene resins and advanced extrusion technologies, our vapor barriers are ideal for a wide range of construction and agricultural applications.
Key Benefits
- Ultra-low permeability: HITEC barriers are engineered with extremely low moisture vapor and gas transmission rates, dramatically reducing the potential for water vapor to migrate through concrete. This helps protect interiors from humidity-related issues while supporting healthier indoor environments.
- Outstanding puncture & tear resistance: Built to withstand tough installation conditions, HITEC films maintain their integrity under heavy loads and construction traffic. Their high tensile strength and durability ensure long-term performance beneath slabs.
- Long-term stability: Resistant to decay, degradation, and chemical exposure, HITEC Vapor Barriers are designed to last the life of the building. Their long-term stability translates to reduced maintenance, fewer repairs, and greater peace of mind.
- Standards compliant: HITEC Vapor Barriers are manufactured to meet or exceed recognized industry benchmarks, including ASTM standards for below-slab vapor retarders. Products are made in ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities for consistent quality assurance.
Applications
- Residential and commercial spaces
- Warehouses, industrial plants, and logistics centers

Protection you can rely on
HITEC Vapor Barriers are designed to prevent moisture migration through concrete slabs, preserving the structural integrity of buildings while protecting interior finishes. By creating a durable seal between the ground and the structure, they help reduce the risk of mold, mildew, flooring failure, and long-term damage caused by water vapor. Ideal for underslab installation in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Engineered for performance and compliance
Made from high-quality polyethylene resins, HITEC Vapor Barriers deliver exceptional strength, puncture resistance, and low permeability. Available in standard and reinforced grades, they are manufactured to meet and exceed ASTM standards for vapor retarders. Whether you're working on a large-scale commercial foundation or a residential slab-on-grade, HITEC provides dependable, code-compliant protection built to last.
