The YCS 20 Mil Reinforced Crawl Space Vapor Barrier is a heavy-duty ground liner designed for professional crawl space encapsulation projects.
The material uses reinforced polyethylene construction and a white coating, providing contractors with a durable vapor-control layer for sealed crawl spaces and related applications.
The 20 mil liner is classified under ASTM E1745 as Class A, B, and C and has a documented water vapor transmission value of 0.011 gr/h-ft². Its published index puncture result is greater than 500 N.
A 20 mil reinforced liner may be considered for crawl space projects where contractors want a heavier ground barrier as part of the encapsulation system.
Product selection should take into account factors such as:
The appropriate liner should be selected based on the project conditions rather than mil thickness alone.
The YCS 20 Mil Vapor Barrier is part of a reinforced polyethylene liner system used as a vapor-retarder material.
The supporting product documentation identifies the material as polyethylene and describes applications that include geomembrane and vapor-retarder use. Under recommended or normal use, the document classifies the material as non-hazardous.
