Are admixtures the answer?

Abstract
NRCA’s Technical Services Section has been receiving inquiries regarding the use and effectiveness of specific concrete mix additives and topical surface treatments to address moisture release-related concerns with concrete roof decks. Such admixtures broadly are referred to as moisture vapor reduction admixtures (MVRAs) or porosity-inhibiting admixtures. NRCA provides recommendations regarding their use.
