Thank you for your inquiry. No, Roberts Silicon Vapor Shield is a moisture vapor retarder specific to nail and staple down installations over wooden subfloors. In a basement installation over concrete you may want to consider a 6 mil plastic barrier such as 70-115 Moisture Barricade. This is most likely what is recommended by the flooring manufacturer.

Can this be used with Composite Vinyl Floor planks (fiber flooring)?
I wouldn’t use it with vinyl plank. Vinyl plank you need to glue down at least the perimeter to the subfloor, putting down paper and glueing to it is no good. Vinyl plank goes directly on the subfloor, no barrier is needed because it isn’t affected by moisture.
