Why Contractors Trust Tremco: A Legacy of Performance and Support

Tremco has been at the forefront of moisture control not just supplying products, but supporting the people who rely on them every day. Our reputation has been built on three pillars: proven performance, innovative technology, and unmatched contractor support.

A Legacy of Innovation

Tremco created the first-ever epoxy DPM back in 1979, establishing the benchmark for moisture control across the industry. From the original ES3000 to today’s advanced One coat application ES100 and now the solvent-free system ES101, our technology continues to evolve to meet modern construction demands.

“The needs of modern substrates, construction timelines and regulations have changed dramatically. Our developments in ES100 and ES101 ensure contractors get a solution that is not only high-performing, but genuinely fit for the realities of today’s sites.”
Mark Bradley, Technical Expert Tremco Flooring
