Self Leveling 100% Solids Industrial Grade Epoxy
One Stop Epoxy Self Leveling 100% Solids Industrial Grade Epoxy is a professional grade, high build floor coating engineered for extreme durability in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. This self leveling resin creates a seamless, high gloss surface with superior adhesion and the chemical resistance required for long term performance.
Sold as a 3 gallon short fill kit, this system arrives clear or pre pigmented in white, light gray, medium gray, black, or tan to save you time and eliminate mixing errors on the jobsite.
What Is a 100% Solids Industrial Epoxy?
Unlike water based or solvent based store coatings, a 100% solids epoxy contains no fillers that evaporate during the curing process. This means the thickness you apply wet is exactly the thickness that remains when dry. This "high build" characteristic is what allows the material to self level, filling minor imperfections in the concrete to create a heavy duty finish.
Why Professionals Choose Pre Pigmented Short Fill Kits
Eliminate Mixing Errors: No separate pigment packs to measure; the color is already balanced in the resin.
In-Bucket Mixing: The "short fill" design allows you to add Part B directly into the Part A bucket, saving you the cost of extra mixing pails.
Consistency: Ensures perfect color uniformity across large multi kit pours.
Versatility: Use as a standalone solid color floor, a receiver coat for flakes, or a structural base for metallic designs.
Mixing and Application Requirements
Mix Ratio: 2 Parts A to 1 Part B.
Mix Time: 3 Full Minutes at 300 to 450 RPM.
Working Time: 45 Minutes on the floor (8 minutes if left in the bucket).
Traffic Ready: 24 Hours for foot traffic; 7 days for full chemical cure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a true 100 percent solids epoxy?Yes. This is a true 100 percent solids industrial resin containing no water or solvents. The thickness you apply wet is the thickness that remains after cure.
Is this a good epoxy for garage floors?Yes. It is the gold standard for garage floor coatings because it provides the high build and chemical resistance needed to withstand hot tires and automotive fluids.
Does this come pre pigmented?Yes. Our short fill kits arrive pre pigmented in White, Black, Light Gray, Med Gray, and Tan, ensuring color consistency and ease of use.
Do I need a separate mixing bucket?No. The short fill design allows you to pour Part B directly into the Part A bucket for convenient mixing.
How long should I mix the epoxy?Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill and a cage style mixer to ensure a complete chemical crosslink.
What is the working time once mixed?Once poured onto the floor, you have approximately 45 minutes at 75 degrees. If left in the bucket, the material can harden in less than 10 minutes (exotherm).
Can this be used for a full flake floor?Yes. It is an excellent pigmented receiver coat for vinyl flakes. For a pro finish, topcoat with PolyGloss 85 Polyaspartic after scraping the flakes.

Can I use this for a one day flake floor?Yes. This is the primary use for 150FC. Its fast cure profile allows you to prep, base, flake, and topcoat in a single shift.
Why can’t this be used for solid color floors?Because 150FC is a fast-cure aromatic epoxy, it will amber under UV exposure. It must be used in a broadcast system where it is completely covered by flakes, sand, or quartz.
Is this product beginner friendly?No. 150FC is designed for experienced contractors who understand how to manage fast-curing materials and jobsite pacing.
Does this replace a moisture vapor barrier?Yes. It is rated to block moisture vapor transmission up to 12 lbs, eliminating the need for a separate MVB primer step.
How long does 150FC take to dry before I can topcoat?Depending on temperature and humidity, you can typically sweep, vacuum, and topcoat in as little as 90 minutes.
What is the working time for this fast cure epoxy?Depending on temperature, you will have between 20 and 30 minutes of working time once the material is poured onto the floor.
Can 150FC be used outdoors?Yes, provided it is part of a full broadcast system where the epoxy is entirely covered and protected from UV exposure.
Do I need to add solvent to thin this product?No. This is a true 100% solids epoxy. Adding solvents will compromise the cure and the moisture vapor barrier rating.
Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy |...
$240.00
Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy | 25 lb Rated 100% Solids MVB
One Stop Epoxy 100% Solids Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy is a professional-grade foundation coating engineered to block moisture vapor transmission through concrete slabs. Rated for extreme conditions up to 25 lbs of moisture vapor emission, this product creates a permanent barrier that prevents the most common causes of floor failure: peeling, bubbling, and delamination.
This is not a finish coat or a receiver coat. It is a critical insurance policy used to stabilize concrete before installing a 100% solids epoxy build system.
Why Professionals Use a 25 lb Rated MVB
Concrete is naturally porous and acts like a sponge, releasing moisture vapor for years. When this vapor pressure builds up beneath a standard coating, it physically breaks the bond, leading to total system failure. Our MVB Epoxy solves this by penetrating deep into the concrete capillaries to create a structural seal that can handle high hydrostatic pressure.
Extreme Moisture Resistance: Rated to block up to 25 lbs of vapor transmission—far exceeding standard epoxies.
Prevents Osmotic Blistering: Stops the bubbles that form when moisture is trapped under the floor.
Superior Bond Strength: Provides a stabilized, non-porous surface for your next epoxy layer to lock onto.
Zero VOC Formulation: 100% solids with no odor, making it safe for interior and basement applications.
The Proper System Sequence
To ensure a lifetime bond on slabs with moisture concerns, follow the professional "Step-Up" method:
The Barrier: Apply One Stop MVB Epoxy directly to mechanically profiled concrete (CSP 2-3).
The Build Coat: Once cured, apply a layer of 100% Solids Self Leveling Epoxy. This acts as your pigmented base or "receiver coat" for flakes.
The Finish: Complete the system with a high-performance Polyaspartic or Urethane topcoat.
Mixing and Application Requirements
Pro Tip: Do not broadcast flakes or quartz directly into the MVB. This material must be applied as a continuous, unbroken film to effectively block moisture. Mix for a full 3 minutes to ensure the chemical barrier is fully cross-linked.
Mix Ratio: 2 Parts A to 1 Part B.
Mixer: Use a box or cage style mixer at 300 to 450 RPM.
Coverage: 100 to 150 square feet per gallon depending on porosity.
Dry Time: 8 to 10 hours at room temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a moisture vapor barrier epoxy?If moisture is present, unknown, or if you are installing over a slab on grade, this is a necessary preventative step to avoid total coating failure.
How do I know if my concrete has a moisture problem?Visible signs include efflorescence (white powder) or dark spots. The only certain way is testing, but applying MVB is the safest preventative measure for any slab where the history is unknown.
Can I use this for basement floors?Yes. Basements are inherently prone to moisture issues. Using this vapor barrier is the best way to ensure your basement epoxy floor never peels or bubbles.
Can I broadcast flakes directly into the MVB?No. The Moisture Vapor Barrier must be applied as a clean, continuous film to seal the slab. After it cures, you apply a 100% solids epoxy layer to serve as your pigmented receiver coat for flakes.
Is this required for garage floors?It is highly recommended in humid environments, on older slabs, or if you are a professional installer offering a long-term warranty to your clients.
What happens if I skip this step?Skipping moisture control on a high-vapor slab leads to osmotic blistering and total system delamination, requiring a costly total replacement.
Can this be used as a finished floor?No. This is a functional base layer designed to stabilize the slab. It must be covered by a 100% solids epoxy build coat and an appropriate topcoat.
What should I use over this product?Typically, installers follow this with a 100% solids epoxy (like our Self Leveling or 150 Fast Cure) before moving to their decorative broadcast or topcoat.
How long do I have to wait before applying my next coat?The material is generally dry to the touch in 8 to 10 hours. You should apply your next coat of epoxy within 24 hours to ensure a strong chemical bond.
What is the mix ratio?The mix ratio is 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B. Mix thoroughly with a drill mixer for a full 3 minutes before pouring.
Metallic Dream Epoxy | Premium...
$220.00
Metallic Dream Epoxy | Premium Designer Metallic Resin
Metallic Dream Epoxy is a professional grade, 100% solids epoxy system engineered specifically for high-end metallic floor applications. Unlike standard resins, this is a design driven system that provides the extended open time necessary to create one of a kind floors with incredible depth, flowing movement, and a mirror-like high gloss finish.
Used in residential living spaces, showrooms, and retail environments, Metallic Dream delivers the perfect balance of workability, artistic control, and visual impact.
The Metallic Dream Advantage: 60 Minutes of Control
Metallic epoxy is an art form, and art takes time. Most failures occur when the resin "locks up" too quickly, leaving harsh roller marks and stagnant patterns. Metallic Dream Epoxy is formulated to stay fluid for up to 60 minutes, allowing installers to:
Manipulate Movement: Soften and blend colors using a Magic Trowel without the resin tacking up.
Minimize Bubbles: Extended leveling time allows air to escape more efficiently.
Achieve 3D Depth: High-build, 100% solids chemistry creates the "thick" look that makes metallic pigments pop.
The Professional System Build
The Foundation: Concrete must be mechanically ground. For porous slabs, use our Water Based Epoxy Primer to prevent outgassing.
The Base Coat: Apply a solid pigmented base using our 100% Solids Self Leveling Epoxy. Black is the industry standard for maximum contrast.
The Money Coat: Apply Metallic Dream mixed with your chosen pigments. Manipulate the surface with an 18-inch Magic Trowel for an organic, marble-like flow.
The Shield: Finish with Premera T2 Topcoat for elite scratch resistance that preserves the high gloss shine.
Mixing and Application Guidelines
Pro Tip: Never "whip" the product. Mixing at high speeds traps micro-bubbles in the resin that can ruin a glass-finish floor. Use a low-speed paddle mixer and ensure pigments are fully dispersed before pouring.
Coverage: Approximately 150 sq. ft. per kit (50 sq. ft. per gallon for proper flow).
Mix Speed: Keep drill under 300 RPM.
Working Time: Up to 60 minutes on the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is metallic epoxy durable?Yes. When protected with a high-performance topcoat like Premera T2, metallic floors are highly durable and suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial interiors.
Do I need to use a black base coat?Black is the preferred base because it acts as a "canvas" that makes metallic colors appear more vibrant and 3-dimensional. However, other colors can be used for custom aesthetic effects.
Is every metallic floor different?Yes. Because the epoxy shifts and levels as it cures, no two floors can ever be identical. Each installation is a unique piece of custom art.
Can I use multiple metallic colors?Absolutely. Professionals often use a primary color and 1-2 accent colors to create dynamic, marble-like movement and visual interest.
Is this system beginner friendly?No. Metallic epoxy requires a deep understanding of timing and flow. We recommend practicing on sample boards before attempting a full-scale floor.
How much working time do I have?Metallic Dream provides up to 60 minutes of open time, giving you the longest window in the industry to manipulate your design.
What topcoat should I use?We highly recommend Nukote Premera T2 Topcoat Gloss. High-gloss floors show scratches easily; Premera T2 provides a glass-hard shield that protects the aesthetic.

Mixing Instructions
Precision in the mixing process is critical to ensure the chemical bond and structural integrity of the LABPOX 30 system.
Combine Components: Pour 2 containers of Part A (Base) into a large mixing bucket, being careful not to pour material onto the sides of the larger bucket.
Add Activator: Pour the Part B (Activator) directly into the center of the large bucket. Again, ensure no material gets on the sides of the Base bucket; failing to do so may leave unmixed resin that causes soft spots on your finished floor.
Mixing Time: Mix full kits with a Box mixer for 2 minutes. Use a low-speed drill (300 to 450 RPM) to minimize air entrapment.
Scrape Sides: During the mixing process, make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container thoroughly so no unmixed material remains.
Immediate Placement: Once the product is properly mixed, it needs to be immediately poured onto the floor. Leaving mixed material for too long in a mixing pail will create an exothermic reaction (rapid heat buildup), rendering the product unusable.
Application Procedure
Application Procedure Pour mixed material in a 20 foot long 12 inch wide ribbon Do not drain or scrape remaining material from the bucket onto the floor. Spread to uniform thickness with a notched squeegee and roll North South and back roll East West to achieve uniform coverage. Roller should be a 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover.
PRO TIP: For metallic floors, use the extended 60 minute window to manipulate your pigments with a 9/16 inch looped roller or notched squeegee to create depth and movement before the product begins its initial set.

LABPOX 40 UV | UV Resistant Epoxy for Metallic and Decorative Floors - 3 Gallon Kit
LABPOX 40 UV is a premium, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy system engineered specifically for metallic and high end decorative flooring. Unlike standard epoxies that can "amber" or yellow quickly, this system offers superior UV resistance and crystal clarity, making it one of the most trusted options for light colored systems and metallic applications.
This product is the preferred choice for installers who require an extended 60 minute working time. This generous window allows for the proper manipulation of metallic pigments, ensuring deep flow and consistent "lava" effects that cheaper, fast setting epoxies simply cannot achieve.
This is a world class decorative epoxy designed for appearance driven floors where flow, clarity, and color stability are the only things that matter.
Where LABPOX 40 UV Fits in Your System
Metallic Body Coat: The primary layer for high end decorative metallic floors.
Light Color Systems: Ideal for white or light gray floors requiring improved UV stability.
High Build Clear Coat: Used as a thick, clear layer over decorative art or logos.
Pro Note: While LABPOX 40 UV is incredibly durable, it is an epoxy. To achieve the ultimate glass like super high gloss finish and provide your floor with maximum scratch resistance, we recommend pairing this system with Premera T2.
Key Features and Benefits
Extended 60 Minute Pot Life: Plenty of time to guide pigments and eliminate roller marks.
Superior UV Resistance: Significantly higher resistance to yellowing compared to industrial epoxies.
Excellent Defoaming: Engineered to release air naturally, even at high build (30-50 mil) applications.
High Clarity Finish: Transparent enough to allow metallic pigments to "pop" with three dimensional depth.
Blush & Fisheye Resistant: Formulated to resist surface defects caused by humidity or substrate inconsistencies.
Mixing Instructions
Precision in the mixing process is critical to ensure the chemical bond and structural integrity of the LABPOX 40 UV system.
Combine Components: Pour 2 containers of Part A (Base) into a large mixing bucket, being careful not to pour material onto the sides of the larger bucket.
Add Activator: Pour the Part B (Activator) directly into the center of the large bucket. Again, ensure no material gets on the sides of the Base bucket; failing to do so may leave unmixed resin that causes soft spots on your finished floor.
Mixing Time: Mix full kits with a Box mixer for 2 minutes. Use a low-speed drill (300 to 450 RPM) to minimize air entrapment. Mix partial kits with a Paddle Mixer.
Scrape Sides: During the mixing process, make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container thoroughly so no unmixed material remains.
Immediate Placement: Pour the material onto the floor immediately after mixing. Leaving 100% solids epoxy in the bucket will cause it to exotherm (heat up) and ruin your working time.
Application Guidelines
To achieve the signature depth of a metallic floor, LABPOX 40 UV must be applied at a much higher film build than standard coatings.
Metallic Movement: Apply at a thickness of 30 to 50 mils. This high build volume allows the metallic pigments to stay suspended so they can move naturally and create depth during the cure.
Design Technique: Use an 18 Inch Magic Trowel to guide the pigments into your chosen pattern.
Contamination Warning: Ensure the job site is a clean environment. Avoid sweat, water, aerosols, or air movement near the wet floor.
⚠️ Metallic Epoxy Installation Tip: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Additionally, ensure all HVAC vents are directed away from the floor and turn off all fans. Moving air will cause the epoxy to skin over before it has a chance to properly lay down, ruining the metallic flow and leaving surface ripples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LABPOX 40 UV truly UV stable?It is one of the most UV resistant epoxies on the market, but it is still an epoxy. Over several years of exposure to direct sunlight, it will eventually amber. For permanent UV protection, always topcoat with Premera T2.
Why is the 60 minute working time important?Metallic floors require manipulation with a Magic Trowel to look their best. Standard epoxies set up too fast, leaving you with harsh lines or flat spots. The 60 minute window allows the pigments to flow and create that 3D depth.
Can I use this for a solid color floor?Yes. It is an excellent choice for light colored solid floors because of its improved color stability and clarity.
What causes fisheyes in my metallic floor?Fisheyes are almost always caused by surface contaminants. Avoid using aerosol sprays or air fresheners in the building, and ensure the installer does not drip sweat into the wet material.
Do I need to sand before topcoating?If you topcoat within 24 hours, you can go right over it. If you wait longer than 24 hours, you must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure the topcoat bonds properly.
What is the best way to clean the floor before applying LABPOX 40 UV?After mechanical grinding, you must vacuum the floor thoroughly. We recommend a solvent wipe with Acetone to ensure no fine dust remains, as dust can cause surface profile issues in high build coatings.
Can I apply this over a moisture vapor barrier?Yes. LABPOX 40 UV works perfectly over a moisture barrier. Labpox MVB FAST – 100% Solids Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier to prevent the metallic finish from bubbling or delaminating.
What happens if a fan is blowing on the project while it cures?Moving air will blow contaminants on to your wet surface and this can be catastrophic. Wind can also cause the surface to skin over prematurely. This prevents the epoxy from laying down properly and stops the metallic pigments from moving, which will leave you with an uneven, wavy finish.
Can I use a torch to remove bubbles?Yes, a light pass with a propane torch or a spike roller can help release surface bubbles. However, because LABPOX 40 UV has excellent air release properties, you will find you need to do this much less than with standard resins.
How do I achieve the best three dimensional depth?Apply the material at a minimum of 50 SFPG. The thicker the application, the more room the metallic pigments have to sink and swirl, creating that signature glass like depth and movement.

What makes LABPOX LV UV different from standard epoxy?Its ultra low viscosity and extremely long working time give installers much greater control over flow, pigment movement, and final appearance. It allows the resin to self level more effectively than thicker industrial epoxies.
Is this a good epoxy for metallic floors?Yes. This is one of the best choices for metallic floors that require depth, clarity, and an extended window to manipulate designs.
How long is the working time?You typically have 90 to 100 minutes depending on temperature and site conditions. This is nearly double the working time of standard epoxies.
Is this product UV stable?It offers enhanced UV resistance compared to standard epoxy systems. While all epoxy will eventually amber if exposed to direct sunlight, this cycloaliphatic formulation provides superior color stability for decorative metallic floors.
Why is this better for metallic floors than standard resins?Standard epoxies are too thick and set up too fast, which freezes the metallic pigments in place. LABPOX LV UV has an ultra low viscosity that allows pigments to flow and swirl for the entire 100 minute working window, creating a natural three dimensional look.
What is the best tool for applying LABPOX LV UV?For metallic designs, a Magic Trowel is essential for laying out your metallic design. For applications where high build depth is required, use a 24 inch red rubber 3/16 inch notched squeegee and if necessary an 18 inch Mohair or Microfiber Roller Cover to completely cover the floor.
Do I need to sand before applying a second coat?If you apply the next coat within 24 hours, no sanding is needed. After 24 hours, you must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure a mechanical bond.
Can I use this for heavy duty industrial floors?This product is best suited for residential and commercial decorative systems. For heavy industrial production floors with high forklift traffic, we recommend our industrial grade solids like LABPOX 30.
What happens if the material gets hot in the bucket?This is an exotherm reaction. If the bucket feels hot, do not pour it on the floor. The material is beginning to cure rapidly and pouring it will result in surface defects and a failed installation.

Excellent Defoaming: Formulated to release air naturally, even when applied at heavy 50 mil thicknesses.
High Resistance to Contamination: Specifically designed to resist fisheyes and surface defects.
Mixing Instructions
Because of the extended pot life, proper mixing is vital to ensure the cycloaliphatic resins activate fully.
Pre Mix Part A: Mechanically mix Part A for 1 minute before combining to ensure all resins are homogeneous.
Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A with 1 part Part B in the larger bucket.
Mix Time: Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300 to 450 RPM).
Technique: Scrape the sides and bottom of the container thoroughly. For best results, use a box or cage mixer.
Immediate Placement: Even with a long working time, the material should be poured onto the floor in ribbons immediately after mixing to prevent heat build up in the pail.
Pro Note: To achieve the ultimate glass like finish and maximum scratch resistance, we recommend pairing this system with Premera T2 once the epoxy has reached its recoat window.
Application Guidelines
To achieve the signature depth of a 3D floor, LABPOX LV 3D UV must be applied at a high build to allow the low viscosity resin to flow and carry the pigments.
Design Depth: Apply at a maximum 50 square feet per gallon. This provides a thickness of roughly 30 to 32 mils, allowing pigments to sink and swirl for maximum visual impact.
Technique: Use a squeegee to spread the material, followed by an 18 Inch Magic Trowel to manipulate the metallic design.
Ideal Conditions: Best results are achieved when the floor and air temperature are between 60°F and 85°F. Avoid high humidity (above 85%) during the application.
⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on sunbaked surfaces. Ensure all HVAC vents are directed away from the floor and turn off all fans. Moving air will cause the epoxy to skin over prematurely, which ruins the self leveling and stops the metallic movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 3D UV version different from standard metallic epoxy?It features ultra low viscosity (300 cps) and a 90 to 100 minute working time. This allows the resin to flow more like water, which gives the metallic pigments total freedom to move and create deep visual effects.
Does this product resist yellowing?Yes. LABPOX LV 3D UV is formulated with cycloaliphatic polyamine technology, providing some of the best UV resistance in the epoxy category.
Why is low viscosity important for metallic floors?Thick epoxies "trap" pigments in place. A low viscosity resin allows the metallic particles to swirl and sink, creating a three dimensional look rather than a flat, painted appearance.
Can I use this for a clear topcoat?Yes. Its high clarity and excellent defoaming make it an ideal choice for a clear build coat over decorative designs or logos.
How long do I have to wait before walking on the floor?Because of the extended working time and ultra low viscosity, this system takes longer to reach initial hardness than standard epoxies. You should wait at least 48 hours for light foot traffic. For heavy furniture or vehicle traffic, wait a full 72 hours to ensure the resin has reached its full chemical resistance and hardness.
Can I mix multiple metallic colors together?Yes. One of the greatest advantages of the ultra low viscosity in LABPOX LV 3D UV is how beautifully it allows different metallic pigments to blend. You can "ribbon" different colors into each other or mist the surface with a secondary color to create natural veining and marble effects that stay fluid longer.
Do I need a specific base coat color for metallic epoxy?Yes. Metallic pigments are translucent. To achieve the best results, you should apply a solid color epoxy base coat (like LABPOX 35) first. Black is the most common choice as it makes the metallic colors pop with maximum depth, but lighter base colors can be used to create softer, more subtle finishes.
How do I prevent bubbles or "pinholes" in my metallic finish?Because metallic epoxy is applied at a high build, any air escaping from the concrete (outgassing) will be trapped. You must ensure the slab is perfectly sealed with a primer or moisture barrier like MVB FAST before applying your metallic body coat. This ensures the 3D layer stays smooth and glass like.
What is the best way to create "cells" or "craters" in the design?If you are looking for specific effects like cells or hammered metal textures, you can lightly mist the surface with 99 percent Isopropyl Alcohol while the epoxy is still in its 90 minute working window. The alcohol breaks the surface tension and causes the metallic pigments to disperse into unique, circular patterns.
Can I apply this over a previous coating?Yes, but only if the existing coating is well bonded and has been mechanically sanded to a completely dull finish. If there is any gloss remaining, the new metallic layer will not bond properly. Always perform a small test area to ensure compatibility between different resin systems.
What happens if the material starts to heat up in the bucket?This is known as an exotherm reaction. If the mixed material sits in the pail too long, it will begin to smoke or harden rapidly. If you feel the bucket getting hot, STOP RIGHT THERE! It's ruined. You've left it in the bucket too long and you'll create all kinds of cleanup challenges if you dump that on the floor.

System Limitations
Moisture content must be below 4 percent unless a moisture mitigation system is installed. Failure to meet this requirement can result in adhesion loss or coating failure. The product is not immune to plasticizer transfer from rubber tires; tires should cool down before parking on the coated surface.
Recommended System Setup
For a guaranteed bond and long term finish, follow this professional stack:
Primer: LAB Surface Epoxy Primer (recommended for high traffic) or LABPOX 35 (self priming).
Base/Body: Apply LABPOX 35 (Colored).
Topcoat: Seal with LABFAST, LABSHIELD ECO, or AQUALAB PUR for additional UV and chemical protection.
Mixing and Application Requirements
Application Equipment
1/8 inch notched rubber squeegee
3/8 inch nap woven shed resistant roller cover
3 inch chip brush
Mixing Instructions
Precision in the mixing process is critical to ensure the chemical bond and structural integrity of the LABPOX 35 system.
Pre-Mix Part A: Before final mixing, pre-mix Part A at low speed using a Paddle Mixer and a drill. Mixing should be done until the settlement comes off the bottom of the bucket and the color become uniform.
Combine Components: Pour 2 containers of Part A (Base) into a large mixing bucket, being careful not to pour material onto the sides of the larger bucket.
Add Activator: Pour the Part B (Activator) directly into the center of the large bucket. Again, ensure no material gets on the sides of the Base bucket; failing to do so may leave unmixed resin that causes soft spots on your finished floor.
Mixing Time: Mix full kits with a Box Mixer for 2 minutes. Use a low-speed drill (300 to 450 RPM) to minimize air entrapment. DO NOT attempt to mix a full kit of this product with a Paddle Mixer. The volume is insufficient for a thick, heavy duty epoxy such as this.
Scrape Sides: During the mixing process, make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container thoroughly so no unmixed material remains.
Immediate Placement: Once the product is properly mixed, it needs to be immediately poured onto the floor. Leaving mixed material for too long in a mixing pail will create an exothermic reaction (rapid heat buildup), rendering the product unusable.
Application Procedure
Application Procedure Pour mixed material in a 20 foot long 12 inch wide ribbon Do not drain or scrape remaining material from the bucket onto the floor. Spread to uniform thickness with a notched squeegee and roll North South and back roll East West to achieve uniform coverage. Roller should be a 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover.
PRO TIP: If pinholes appear during application, allow sufficient time to go back and burst them by rolling back and forth or with another squeegee pass. For extremely porous slabs, sand and plug persistent pinholes with epoxy gel after the first coat has cured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is LABPOX 35 good for oil contaminated floors?Yes. It is considered best in class for resistance to oil and other contaminants that typically cause fisheyes or adhesion failure in standard epoxies.
Can this be used as a self priming coat?Yes. LABPOX 35 is self priming and specifically designed to penetrate porous concrete slabs to reduce outgassing.
Is this product beginner friendly?While it offers a comfortable 45 minute working time, proper mechanical surface preparation (CSP 2) and moisture testing are strictly required for a professional grade installation.
How do I handle very porous concrete?On very porous slabs, use a tight squeegee with no back roll for the first coat to properly seal the surface before applying the body coat.
What is the mix ratio for LABPOX 35?It is a two component system with a precise mix ratio of 2 Parts A to 1 Part B (2A:1B) by volume.
Does this epoxy amber or yellow?Like most 100 percent solids epoxies, it is not UV stable. For maximum UV protection and to slow yellowing, a topcoat like LABFAST or AQUALAB PUR is strongly recommended.
How soon can I walk on the floor?The floor can typically accept foot traffic in 24 hours, but full chemical cure takes 7 days. Do not clean the surface with water or chemicals during the first week.
Is this product safe for interior use?Yes. LABPOX 35 is 100 percent solids and VOC free, making it virtually odor free and suitable for interior manufacturing, commercial, or residential projects.
LABPOX MVB FAST | 100% Solids ...
from $220.00
LABPOX MVB FAST | 100% Solids Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier
LABPOX MVB FAST is a professional grade, 100% solids epoxy moisture vapor barrier designed to stop moisture before it destroys your floor. This system is engineered to bond to damp concrete slabs with up to 100 percent relative humidity, making it one of the most reliable solutions for moisture control in the industry.
Moisture is the leading cause of epoxy floor failure. This product is designed to eliminate that risk and provide a stable foundation for epoxy, polyaspartic, and urethane flooring systems.
If you are installing over a slab with unknown moisture conditions, this is not optional. This is your insurance policy.
Performance and Moisture Control
Up to 100% RH: Bonds directly to damp concrete and new concrete slabs less than 28 days old.
Permeance: Less than 0.1 perm at 16 mils for maximum vapor protection.
Moisture Reduction: Reduces emission rates from 25 lbs to less than 3 lbs per 1000 sq ft.
Pinhole Mitigation Technology: Formulated to reduce surface defects and bubbles by up to 98 percent.
Surface Preparation Requirements
Proper preparation is mandatory. This product solves moisture problems, not surface contamination issues.
Mechanical Preparation: Surface must be mechanically ground or shot blasted to a minimum CSP-2 or CSP-3 profile.
Fiber Reinforced Concrete: All surface fibers must be completely removed by burning or grinding. Fibers act as conduits for moisture and will compromise the barrier if not fully encapsulated.
Clean Surface: Concrete must be free of grease, oil, paint, or curing agents. Use a moisture meter to evaluate slab conditions. While this product bonds to high RH slabs, the surface must be free of standing moisture at the time of application.
Radiant Heat: If a heated floor is installed, turn the system off 2 to 4 hours before application and keep it off for the duration of the cure.
Mixing Instructions
Proper mixing is critical to ensure the chemical properties of the moisture barrier activate correctly.
Pre Mix Part A: Mix Part A at low speed before combining to ensure all pigments and solids are fully suspended.
Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A with 1 part Part B in a clean container.
Mix Time & Technique: Mix for 3 minutes using a Box Mixer and a low speed drill at 300 - 450 RPM.
Immediate Placement: Once mixed, the material must be immediately poured onto the floor in ribbons. Leaving it in the pail will cause an exothermic reaction, making the product unusable.
Application
Apply using a 3/16 inch notch squeegee and back roll with an 18 inch roller to achieve a uniform film thickness. Work the material into the pores of the concrete to ensure full penetration. A minimum thickness of 16 to 18 mils is required to meet the permeance ratings for moisture mitigation.
PRO TIP: This is a fast moving product. Once Part A and Part B are mixed, begin application immediately. Do not allow material to sit in the bucket. Extended dwell time will shorten working time and can lead to poor flow and inconsistent results.
Coverage Rates and Permeance
The vapor barrier performance of this product is directly proportional to the thickness of the coating. To ensure the permeance rating and performance of the barrier, Labsurface recommends a uniform film thickness of 16 to 18 mils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I broadcast vinyl flakes or other aggregates directly into MVB FAST?No. Broadcasting flakes or other aggregates directly into the moisture vapor barrier will decrease the moisture vapor resistance by as much as 75 percent. MVB FAST is a dedicated mitigation layer and must be applied as a standalone film at a uniform thickness to maintain its perm rating. You must apply a separate receiver coat over the barrier before broadcasting flakes.
Do I really need a moisture vapor barrier?If you are unsure of the moisture levels in your slab, the answer is yes. Moisture is the leading cause of coating failure. Using MVB FAST is your insurance policy against delamination.
Can this be applied to damp concrete?Yes. This product is designed to bond to concrete slabs with up to 100 percent relative humidity, provided the slab is completely dry to the touch at the time of installation.
What happens if I have fiber reinforced concrete?Fibers can act as conduits for moisture to travel through your coating. You must burn or grind away all surface fibers and ensure a minimum 16 mil thickness to fully encapsulate them.
How fast can I continue my flooring system?MVB FAST is engineered for speed. You can typically recoat in as little as 3 to 4 hours, allowing you to install a full system in a single day.
What causes fisheyes or bubbling in the vapor barrier?Most issues are caused by surface contaminants or air movement. Ensure all HVAC vents are directed away from the floor and turn off all fans to prevent the material from skinning over prematurely.
Can I use this over new concrete?Yes. This product can be applied to new concrete slabs that have been installed within 28 days, provided the surface humidity is controlled for at least three hours prior to installation.
Why is reverse mixing recommended?Switching your mixer to reverse mode after 90 seconds forces the liquid from the bottom of the can to the top. This ensures a 100 percent homogeneous mixture which is critical for moisture mitigation.
What is the maximum moisture reduction rate?When applied at the correct thickness, it reduces moisture emission rates from 25 lbs down to less than 3 lbs per 1000 square feet over 24 hours.
Do I have to sand before applying my next coat?If you apply the next layer within the 24 hour recoat window, no sanding is required. After 24 hours, you must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure a mechanical bond.
Does this stop hydrostatic pressure?Very high levels of humidity may indicate hydrostatic pressure from a drainage failure or water leak. While MVB FAST is a powerful barrier, the source of any major water leaks should be addressed before installation.
