Vaporemissions from a concrete slab accounts for failures of any number of floor coverings, moisture condensation and mold growth inside structures with concrete floors.
Designs typically call for a vapor retarder [6 mil plastic] being installed before the concrete is placed. Penetrations, tears during steel placement, and the plastic not covering the slab edge leave openings for ground water to penetrate into the slab. Once high moisture levels are in a slab, next comes an air conditioned interior space. A low humidity interior causes moisture to wick through the slab where it is trapped and condenses on top of the slab. This condensation carries alkali from the concrete with it, that ruin glue and thin set bonds to a flooring product. In rubber and vinyl floor applications, water will actually cause bubbles to form under the floor covering. Cut an opening with a razor knife at a bubble location and see water on the surface. This will make you a believer!
Use of a penetrating sealer will prevent this moisture transfer up through a slab and assure you of a superior bond of all types of flooring adhesives thin sets and grouts. Same product applied to tile grout joints, waterproofs them and carries a 15 year warranty. This keeps grout showroom new for years!

If this is left out and the laminate is glued to sub floor, chances are good that it will start to separate in much used areas. -NOT a good idea to glue it
