We talk with Tim Murphy of Mineralogy Inc in Tulsa Oklahoma. We discuss moisture vapor transmission through concrete and how it affects non permeable floor coatings. 

This is a more technical talk of concrete chemistry and how moisture vapor can move through concrete. If you are interested in the nut and bolts of concrete and how to prevent coatings related failures this is the show for you. 

On this episode Steve discussed with Tim the following issues: 

• Who is Mineralogy and how can they help

• Different moisture testing methods 
• General thoughts on moisture mitigation products 
• How they test core samples
