Vapor seal A vapor seal is an essential part of
preventing moisture infiltration into or migration
out of a critical space, such as a data processing
center or other room that contains sensitive
electronic instrumentation. Essentially, a vapor seal
is a barrier that prevents air, moisture, and
contaminants from migrating through tiny cracks or
pores in the walls, floor, and ceiling into the critical
space. Vapor barriers may be created using plastic
film, vapor-retardant paint, vinyl wall coverings and
vinyl floor systems, in combination with careful
sealing of all openings (doors and windows) into the
room.

10 amps.
