High Build 100% Solids Epoxy for Solid Color, Flake, Quartz, and Commercial Floors One Stop Epoxy Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy is a two component, high build resin designed for professional epoxy flooring systems. Use it as a solid color body coat, a pigmented receiver coat for vinyl flakes or quartz, a commercial epoxy layer, or a uniform solid color base beneath a metallic epoxy floor. This is a true 100% solids epoxy by volume. There is no water or added solvent that must leave the coating during cure. The material applied to the floor remains at approximately the thickness at which it was installed, allowing substantial film build in a single coat. Each kit produces 3 gallons of mixed epoxy at a 2 to 1 ratio. Choose Clear, Light Gray, Medium Gray, White, Tan, or Black. Pigmented kits arrive with the color already incorporated into Part A, eliminating the need to purchase and disperse a separate pigment pack. Free shipping to the 48 contiguous states, and most orders ship out the same or next business day. Quick Answer: This is the general purpose One Stop Epoxy 100% solids resin for solid color floors, partial and full flake receiver coats, quartz and sand broadcast systems, commercial floors, and metallic epoxy base coats. A full 3 gallon kit mixes at a 2 to 1 ratio. Use a Cage or Box style mixer for 2 minutes at 300 to 450 RPM. Working time on the floor is approximately 45 minutes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher temperatures shorten working time. Once the epoxy is mixed, GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET and onto the floor immediately. Where This 100% Solids Epoxy Fits This is one of the most versatile resins in the One Stop Epoxy line because the same epoxy can perform several different jobs depending on the flooring system and application thickness. Flooring System How This Epoxy Is Used Solid Color Epoxy Floor Used as the visible high build epoxy body coat for garages, shops, warehouses, showrooms, and commercial interiors. Partial Flake Floor Used as the pigmented receiver coat with a controlled decorative flake broadcast that leaves the epoxy color visible. Full Flake Floor Used as the pigmented receiver coat before broadcasting vinyl flakes to rejection. For the complete package, see our Full Flake Epoxy Floor Systems. Quartz or Sand Broadcast Used as the resin coat that receives aggregate in textured commercial and industrial flooring systems. Metallic Epoxy Base Coat Creates the solid, uniform background beneath a Metallic Dream Epoxy body coat. Commercial Epoxy Floor Provides a high build resin layer for properly designed commercial flooring systems. What 100% Solids Epoxy Actually Means Solids by volume describes how much of the applied liquid coating remains as cured film. This epoxy is 100% solids by volume, so there is no water or added solvent that must evaporate from the coating during cure. That makes coverage and film thickness directly related. Spread one gallon over fewer square feet and you create a thicker epoxy layer. Spread the same gallon over more square feet and the finished layer becomes thinner. One theoretical gallon of 100% solids epoxy produces approximately: Coverage Per Gallon Approximate Film Thickness 150 square feet 10.7 mils 135 square feet 11.9 mils 125 square feet 12.8 mils 100 square feet 16 mils These are theoretical film calculations. Actual coverage is affected by concrete profile, porosity, repairs, application technique, edges, tools, and normal material loss. What Self Leveling Means Self leveling describes how the resin flows and relaxes after it is spread at the proper thickness. This allows roller and squeegee marks to settle and helps create a smoother, more uniform epoxy surface. Self leveling does not mean the epoxy repairs damaged concrete or eliminates surface preparation. Cracks, spalls, open joints, deep pits, coating edges, and other defects must be addressed before the epoxy is installed. Contractor Tip: Do not stretch a self leveling epoxy too far and still expect it to flow like a high build coating. Film thickness affects flow, hiding, decorative broadcast acceptance, and the appearance of the finished floor. Why We Sell It as a 3 Gallon Short Fill Kit A complete kit contains 2 parts Base and 1 part Activator for a total of 3 mixed gallons. Part A is packaged in a container with enough room to receive the complete Part B Activator. That allows a full kit to be combined and mixed directly in the Part A container without purchasing a separate full size mixing pail. 2 to 1 mix ratio: The complete kit is already proportioned correctly. Full kit mixing in the original container: Add all of Part B directly into Part A. Pre pigmented colors: Light Gray, Medium Gray, White, Tan, and Black arrive with pigment already incorporated into Part A. Clear option: Clear is available when the flooring system requires an unpigmented resin. Color consistency: Pre pigmented kits remove the field variable of measuring and dispersing separate pigment packs. Available Colors Color Common Use Clear Systems requiring clear resin or custom pigmentation Light Gray Garage floors, commercial floors, and flake receiver coats Medium Gray Solid color, commercial, and decorative flooring systems White Decorative systems and selected metallic epoxy base coats Tan Garage floors, commercial floors, and warm color systems Black Solid color floors and selected metallic epoxy base coats Coverage Depends on What the Epoxy Is Doing There is no single correct coverage number for every installation. A receiver coat for vinyl flakes does not require the same film build as a heavier commercial or solid color epoxy layer. Application Coverage Per Gallon Coverage Per 3 Gallon Kit Flake Receiver Coat 133 to 150 square feet 399 to 450 square feet Higher Build Solid Color or Commercial Coat 100 to 135 square feet 300 to 405 square feet Metallic Epoxy Base Coat 135 to 150 square feet 405 to 450 square feet Important: Do not choose your coverage rate simply by trying to make one kit cover the entire floor. Coverage determines film thickness. Apply the epoxy at the rate required for the flooring system being installed. How Many 3 Gallon Kits Do You Need? The table below uses approximately 400 square feet per kit as a practical planning rate for a typical flake receiver coat. Heavier solid color and commercial applications require more material. Floor Area Approximate 3 Gallon Kits Up to 400 square feet 1 kit 401 to 800 square feet 2 kits 801 to 1,200 square feet 3 kits 1,201 to 1,600 square feet 4 kits 1,601 to 2,000 square feet 5 kits For a heavier solid color or commercial application, calculate the order using the required square foot per gallon rate instead of the receiver coat table. Concrete Preparation The performance of a 100% solids epoxy starts with the concrete underneath it. Self leveling refers to the way the resin flows. It does not replace proper surface preparation. Remove dirt, oil, grease, curing compounds, sealers, adhesive, and other contaminants. Remove loose, incompatible, or poorly bonded existing coatings. Mechanically prepare concrete to approximately CSP 3 unless the complete flooring system specifies otherwise. Vacuum the floor thoroughly after grinding or shot blasting. Repair cracks, pits, spalls, and damaged concrete before applying the epoxy. Evaluate concrete moisture before deciding whether this epoxy can be installed directly to the slab. Primer and Moisture Decisions Still Matter: This epoxy may be installed directly over suitable properly prepared concrete, but not every slab should receive the same system. Porous concrete can outgas through a high build coating, and excessive concrete moisture can cause flooring failures. Use a primer or moisture vapor barrier when the condition of the slab requires one. For primer and moisture control options, review our Primers and Moisture Vapor Barriers. If you are unsure whether the slab needs moisture protection, read our Moisture Testing Before Installing Epoxy Flooring Guide. Full 3 Gallon Kit Mixing Instructions A full kit contains a large volume of reactive 100% solids epoxy. Correct mixing is critical, and once mixing is complete the material should immediately leave the bucket. Premix Part A. Thoroughly mix the Base before adding the Activator, especially when using a pigmented kit. Add all of Part B. Pour the complete Activator directly into the center of Part A. Avoid pouring Activator onto the sides of the Base container. Use a Cage or Box style mixer. We recommend only a Cage or Box style mixer for a complete 3 gallon kit. Mix for 2 full minutes. Mix at approximately 300 to 450 RPM and move the mixer throughout the material. Immediately pour the epoxy onto the floor. Do not leave mixed material sitting in the bucket while you prepare tools, cut edges, or finish another area. Do not drain or scrape the remaining bucket residue onto the floor. Material remaining on the sides or bottom of the container may not be mixed as completely as the main batch. For full kit mixing, use a Box Mixer or equivalent Cage style mixer. Mix it and GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET. This is a basic rule for One Stop Epoxy 100% solids products. The epoxy reaction creates heat. Keeping a mixed batch concentrated in the bucket allows that heat to build rapidly and can dramatically shorten usable working time. Once the batch is properly mixed, pour it onto the floor immediately. Bucket Time Is Not Floor Working Time This distinction matters with 100% solids epoxy. Condition Approximate Time at 75 Degrees Fahrenheit Mixed Material Left in Bucket Approximately 8 minutes Working Time After Placement on Floor Approximately 45 minutes Higher temperatures shorten working time. Material temperature, slab temperature, surrounding air temperature, direct sunlight, and the amount of mixed material remaining in mass can all accelerate the reaction. Do not plan an installation around receiving the full 45 minutes under every job condition. The 45 minute working time is referenced at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Warmer conditions require faster placement, spreading, rolling, and broadcasting. Contractor Tip: Have the concrete prepared, edges ready, squeegees and rollers laid out, decorative media opened, and the crew in position before Part A and Part B are combined. The time to organize the job is before you mix the epoxy. Mixing Smaller Batches Partial batches must maintain the exact 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume ratio. Batch Recommended Mixer Mix Time Full 3 Gallon Kit Cage or Box style mixer at 300 to 450 RPM 2 minutes Properly Measured Smaller Batch Red paddle mixer 3 minutes For smaller batch mixing tools, see our Epoxy Mixers collection. Application Once mixing is complete, pour the epoxy immediately onto the prepared floor in ribbons. Spread and roll the material according to the coverage rate and film thickness required for the flooring system. Mix the epoxy completely. GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET and onto the floor immediately. Spread the material with the appropriate notched squeegee for the required coverage rate and cover the floor completely Roll with a quality 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover.Roll North South and then Backroll east West. Maintain consistent coverage and film thickness throughout the application. If installing vinyl flakes, quartz, or sand, broadcast the decorative media while the epoxy remains wet. Recoat Window and Return to Service Recoat timing matters because the next epoxy layer or topcoat must bond correctly to the cured surface. Stage Approximate Time Tack Free Approximately 8 to 10 hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit Recoat Window Approximately 12 to 24 hours Light Foot Traffic Approximately 24 hours Heavy Foot Traffic Approximately 48 hours Vehicle Traffic Approximately 72 hours Full Chemical Cure Approximately 7 days Light sanding before applying additional epoxy or a finish coat is recommended. If the 24 hour recoat window has been exceeded, mechanically abrade the surface to a clean, uniformly dull finish before recoating. Temperature and job conditions affect cure time. Do not place the floor into service simply because the surface feels dry. Using It for a Full Flake Floor This epoxy is an excellent pigmented receiver coat for a full flake flooring system. Apply the epoxy at the required coverage rate and broadcast decorative vinyl flakes to rejection while the resin remains wet. After the epoxy cures, scrape the flake surface in multiple directions and vacuum thoroughly before installing the clear wear coat. Poly Gloss 85 Polyaspartic is a common final topcoat for One Stop Epoxy full flake systems. Select Regular or Slow Go based on floor size, temperature, working time requirements, and installer experience. If you want the epoxy, flakes, and topcoat already matched and calculated, see our Full Flake Epoxy Floor Systems. Using It for a Partial Flake Floor For a partial flake floor, use the pigmented epoxy as the visible body coat and broadcast a controlled amount of decorative flakes into the wet resin. Unlike a full broadcast floor, the epoxy color remains an important part of the finished appearance. After cure, seal the floor with the topcoat specified for the system. Using It as a Metallic Epoxy Base Coat Metallic epoxy floors normally begin with a solid color epoxy base. The base coat creates a consistent background and prevents raw concrete color and surface variation from interfering with the metallic design layer. Use the appropriate pigmented Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy as the base coat, then apply Metallic Dream Epoxy as the metallic body coat. Do not use this product as a substitute for a dedicated metallic body coat. Metallic Dream is formulated to provide the working time, movement, and visual characteristics required for metallic designs. Published Physical Properties The numbers below show why this product is used as a high build epoxy body coat instead of relying on generic terms such as heavy duty or industrial strength.

High moisture concrete: Test the slab and use a suitable Moisture Vapor Barrier when moisture conditions exceed the limits of the planned flooring system. Metallic body coats: Use Metallic Dream Epoxy when the epoxy itself needs to provide metallic movement and design time. Aggressive chemical exposure: General purpose epoxy should not be selected simply because it is 100% solids. For battery acid, concentrated acids, chemical storage, containment, and other aggressive environments, review APF Epoxy Novolac 900 and confirm chemical resistance against the specific exposure. Frequently Asked Questions Is this a true 100% solids epoxy? Yes. This is a true 100% solids epoxy by volume. There is no water or added solvent that must evaporate from the coating during cure. What is this epoxy best used for? It is the general purpose high build One Stop Epoxy resin for solid color floors, partial and full flake receiver coats, quartz and sand broadcast systems, commercial floors, and solid color base coats beneath metallic epoxy. Is this a good epoxy for garage floors? Yes. It can be used as the visible body coat for a solid color garage floor or as the pigmented receiver coat beneath partial or full broadcast vinyl flakes. How much does one 3 gallon kit cover? Coverage depends on the system. A flake receiver coat typically covers approximately 399 to 450 square feet per 3 gallon kit. A heavier solid color or commercial application typically covers approximately 300 to 405 square feet per kit. Why does coverage change between flooring systems? Coverage determines film thickness. One gallon spread over 150 square feet produces a thinner epoxy layer than the same gallon spread over 100 square feet. Select the coverage rate based on the required film build rather than trying to stretch the material farther. Does the epoxy come pre pigmented? Yes. Light Gray, Medium Gray, White, Tan, and Black arrive pre pigmented. Clear is also available. What is the mix ratio? The mix ratio is 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume. How do I mix a full 3 gallon kit? Premix Part A, add the complete Part B, and mix the full kit for 2 minutes at 300 to 450 RPM using a Cage or Box style mixer. Then GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET and onto the floor immediately. Can I use a red paddle mixer? Yes, for properly measured smaller batches. Mix smaller batches with the red paddle for 3 minutes. For a complete 3 gallon kit, use only a Cage or Box style mixer because it moves the full volume of material more effectively. How much time can the epoxy stay in the bucket? Approximately 8 minutes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not treat that as usable installation time. Once mixing is complete, GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET immediately. How much working time do I have on the floor? Working time on the floor is approximately 45 minutes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher temperatures shorten working time. Why is working time longer on the floor than in the bucket? The epoxy reaction generates heat. A large amount of mixed resin sitting in a bucket holds that heat and causes the reaction to accelerate. Spreading the material across the floor allows heat to dissipate and provides substantially more usable application time. What roller should I use? Use a quality 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover after spreading the material at the required coverage rate. When can I apply another coat or topcoat? The normal recoat window is approximately 12 to 24 hours. Light sanding before additional epoxy or finish coats is recommended. If more than 24 hours have passed, mechanically abrade the surface to a clean, uniformly dull finish before recoating. When can the floor handle vehicle traffic? Allow approximately 72 hours before vehicle traffic under normal curing conditions. Full chemical cure is approximately 7 days. Can this be used for a full flake floor? Yes. Apply the pigmented epoxy as the receiver coat and broadcast vinyl flakes to rejection while the epoxy remains wet. After cure, scrape and vacuum the floor before installing the clear topcoat. What topcoat should I use over a full flake floor? Poly Gloss 85 Polyaspartic is a common final topcoat for One Stop Epoxy full flake systems. Choose Regular or Slow Go based on the floor size, temperature, working time, and installer experience. Can I use this epoxy as the base for a metallic floor? Yes. Use the appropriate solid color as the base coat, then apply Metallic Dream Epoxy for the metallic design layer. Does self leveling epoxy eliminate the need to grind concrete? No. Self leveling describes how the epoxy flows after application. It does not replace concrete preparation. The slab still needs to be clean, mechanically profiled, repaired, vacuumed, and evaluated for moisture before coating. Can this epoxy be used outside? Do not use this epoxy as an exposed exterior finish. Epoxy can amber when exposed to direct sunlight. Exterior flooring systems must be designed so the epoxy is buried beneath a UV resistant broadcast and suitable UV resistant topcoat. Build the Complete Epoxy Flooring System The 100% solids epoxy body coat is only one layer of a complete floor. Depending on the slab and final use, the project may also require a primer, moisture vapor barrier, concrete repair products, decorative vinyl flakes or aggregate, and a compatible topcoat. If you prefer to purchase the components already matched and calculated for the project, compare our complete Epoxy Flooring Systems.

150 Fast Cure 100% Solids Epoxy for One Day Full Broadcast Floors One Stop Epoxy 150 Fast Cure, commonly called 150FC, is a rapid cure 100% solids epoxy built specifically for full broadcast flooring systems. It is designed for full flake, quartz, sand, and other approved broadcast floors where the wet epoxy is completely covered with decorative or functional media. 150FC can perform three jobs in one application: primer, pigmented receiver coat, and moisture vapor barrier rated up to 12 lbs. This allows experienced installers to mechanically prepare the concrete, apply one epoxy layer, complete the broadcast, and move toward the topcoat without installing a separate primer or moisture vapor barrier when slab conditions are within the published product limits. At 75 degrees Fahrenheit, 150FC provides approximately 25 minutes of working time on the floor. Under a full broadcast, it cures in approximately 2 hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit and can cure in as little as approximately 75 to 90 minutes in very warm conditions. Free shipping to the 48 contiguous states, and most orders ship out the same or next business day. Quick Answer: 150FC is a fast cure 100% solids epoxy for experienced installers building full broadcast floors. It combines a primer, pigmented receiver coat, and moisture vapor barrier rated up to 12 lbs in one application. Working time is approximately 25 minutes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and full broadcast floors can be ready for scraping and topcoating in approximately 2 hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit or faster in warmer conditions. NOT FOR BEGINNERS 150FC is designed for experienced epoxy installers who understand fast cure materials, crew coordination, mixing, placement, broadcast timing, and jobsite temperature. Once Part A and Part B are combined, the installation moves quickly. If you are learning how to install epoxy flooring, use a slower and more forgiving epoxy system. What 150FC Is Built to Do 150FC is not intended to be a general purpose epoxy. Its strength is combining fast cure, full broadcast capability, and moisture vapor protection into a single resin layer. Application How 150FC Is Used Full Flake Floors Used as the pigmented receiver coat before broadcasting vinyl flakes to rejection. This is one of the primary uses for 150FC. Quartz Broadcast Floors Used as the resin layer that receives a full quartz broadcast in commercial and decorative flooring systems. Sand Broadcast Floors Receives a full sand broadcast where texture, additional build, or another resinous flooring layer is required. Other Approved Broadcast Media May be used with approved broadcast aggregate such as aluminum oxide when the complete flooring system calls for it. Moisture Vapor Control Provides moisture vapor resistance up to the published 12 lb rating when slab conditions and installation requirements are within the product limits. For a complete flake package with epoxy, vinyl flakes, and topcoat already matched to the floor size, see our Full Flake Epoxy Flooring Systems. Where 150FC Should Not Be Used 150FC must be buried beneath a complete broadcast. It is not the correct epoxy when the base coat itself will remain visible. Application Use 150FC? Full Flake Broadcast Yes Full Quartz Broadcast Yes Full Sand Broadcast Yes Partial Flake Floor No Solid Color Floor No Metallic Epoxy Base Coat No Exposed Epoxy Finish No 150FC is not UV stable and will amber when exposed to light. In a true full broadcast system, the epoxy is completely covered by vinyl flakes, quartz, sand, or another approved media before the clear wear coat is installed. That keeps the epoxy itself from remaining visible. For solid color floors, partial flake floors, and other applications where the epoxy remains visible, use our Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy instead. Why 150FC Works for One Day Full Flake Floors A traditional epoxy installation may require separate primer, epoxy, broadcast, cure, and topcoat stages spread across multiple days. 150FC is designed to compress that sequence. Mechanically prepare the concrete. Apply 150FC as the primer, moisture vapor control layer, and pigmented receiver coat. Broadcast the vinyl flakes, quartz, or sand to rejection while the epoxy remains wet. Allow the fast cure epoxy to harden. Scrape and vacuum the cured broadcast surface. Apply the specified clear topcoat. When the floor, temperature, crew, and complete system are appropriate, this sequence allows experienced installers to complete many full broadcast floors in one day. Working Time Changes With Temperature 150FC is fast, but it provides meaningful working time after it is properly mixed and immediately placed onto the floor. Jobsite Temperature Approximate Floor Working Time Below 75 degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 25 to 30 minutes 75 degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 25 minutes 76 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 22 to 25 minutes 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 20 to 22 minutes Important: Working time begins becoming relevant only after the mixed epoxy is spread onto the floor. Do not use the published floor working time as permission to leave mixed 150FC sitting in the bucket. Higher temperatures shorten working time. Fast Cure and Topcoat Timing Under a full broadcast, 150FC cures in approximately 2 hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. At temperatures above approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit, cure can occur in as little as approximately 75 minutes. Actual timing depends on material temperature, slab temperature, surrounding air temperature, humidity, film build, and jobsite conditions. Do not begin scraping or topcoating simply because a fixed amount of clock time has passed. Verify that the broadcast surface is hard enough for the next step. Built In Moisture Vapor Barrier Up to 12 lbs 150FC provides moisture vapor resistance up to 12 lbs within its published product limits. This can eliminate a separate moisture vapor barrier coat on qualifying full broadcast projects. The 12 lb rating does not eliminate the need to evaluate the concrete. Test the slab before installation and compare the result with the current product requirements. If moisture exceeds the 150FC limit or the slab presents another moisture condition outside its intended use, select a dedicated moisture vapor barrier from our Primers and Moisture Vapor Barriers. For help understanding slab moisture before coating, review our Moisture Testing Before Installing Epoxy Flooring Guide. Coverage Rates Coverage must match the role 150FC is performing in the flooring system. Do not stretch the epoxy farther simply to increase square foot coverage. Application Coverage Per Gallon Coverage Per 3 Gallon Kit Pigmented Full Flake Receiver Coat 133 to 150 square feet 399 to 450 square feet Primer on Porous Concrete 150 to 200 square feet 450 to 600 square feet Higher Build Approved Broadcast Application 100 to 135 square feet 300 to 405 square feet For most full flake receiver coat planning, use the 133 to 150 square foot per gallon range. The exact rate should match the complete system, concrete condition, required film build, and moisture requirements. Available Colors 150FC is currently available in the following options: Clear Black Light Gray Medium Gray Dark Gray White Tan For a full flake floor, select the appropriate pigmented receiver coat so any small gaps between flakes do not expose an unwanted background color. Concrete Preparation Fast cure epoxy does not compensate for poor concrete preparation. The slab must be clean, sound, mechanically opened, and ready to receive a high build resin. Remove existing coatings, curing compounds, sealers, adhesive, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Mechanically prepare concrete to approximately CSP 3. Vacuum the prepared floor thoroughly. Repair cracks, spalls, pits, and damaged concrete before coating. Test the slab for moisture before relying on the built in 12 lb moisture vapor rating. Contractor Tip: With 150FC, the entire job should be staged before mixing begins. Have the floor prepared, flakes or aggregate opened, squeegee and rollers ready, spiked shoes on, and the crew positioned before Part A and Part B are combined. Mixing 150FC 150FC uses a 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume mix ratio. Premix Part A. Thoroughly mix the pre-pigmented Base before adding the Activator. If separate pigment is being added, completely disperse it into Part A first. Add Part B. Pour the Activator directly into the center of the Base container. Avoid pouring Activator onto the sides of the Base container. Use the correct mixer. For a full 3 gallon kit, use only a Cage or Box style mixer. A paddle mixer does not move enough of this thick material through a full 3 gallon batch to ensure complete mixing. Mix according to material temperature. Mix for 2 full minutes at approximately 300 to 450 RPM when the material is above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix for 3 full minutes when the material is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Partial batches. Measure exactly 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator by volume. A red paddle mixer may be used for partial batches. Mix only until the material is completely uniform. Smaller batches require less mixing time. Do not exceed 3 minutes. No induction time is required. Mix it and GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET. Do not leave mixed 150FC sitting in the bucket. This fast cure 100% solids epoxy generates heat rapidly when the mixed material remains concentrated in mass. As soon as mixing is complete, immediately pour the epoxy onto the floor. Application Pour immediately. Pour mixed 150FC onto the prepared floor in long ribbons approximately 12 to 18 inches wide. Do not drain or scrape the bucket. Material remaining on the sides or bottom may not be mixed as completely as the main batch. Spread the epoxy. Use an appropriate notched rubber squeegee to spread the material at the required coverage rate. Roll and back roll. Use a quality 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover to even the material and maintain consistent coverage. Do not continue back rolling after the epoxy begins to tack. Once 150FC starts to set, leave the material alone and continue the installation sequence. Broadcast immediately. Apply the vinyl flakes, quartz, sand, or approved aggregate while the epoxy is wet enough to completely receive the broadcast. Prepare for the topcoat. After the broadcast has cured sufficiently, scrape and vacuum the surface according to the flooring system requirements, then apply the specified topcoat. 150FC Technical Specifications Specification Published Value Product Type Fast cure two component 100% solids epoxy Solids by Volume 100% Mix Ratio 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume Mixed Kit Size 3 gallons Mixed Viscosity Approximately 900 cps Working Time at 75 Degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 25 minutes on the floor Full Broadcast Cure at 75 Degrees Fahrenheit Approximately 2 hours Full Broadcast Cure Above 90 Degrees Fahrenheit As little as approximately 75 minutes Recoat Window Approximately 4 to 24 hours when an additional resin coat is required Heavy Foot Traffic Approximately 48 hours Vehicle Traffic Approximately 72 hours Moisture Vapor Rating Up to 12 lbs within published product limits Shore D Hardness 89 to 91 Compressive Strength 16,500 psi Adhesion to Concrete 600 psi Tensile Strength 3,550 psi Flexural Modulus 4,700 psi Koenig Hardness 145 Taber Abrasion 22 mg loss VOC Less than 50 grams per liter Concrete Preparation Mechanical preparation to approximately CSP 3 Application Roller 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover Topcoating a Full Broadcast Floor Once the 150FC receiver coat has cured and the full broadcast is ready, scrape the surface in multiple directions and vacuum thoroughly before topcoating.

Frequently Asked Questions What is 150 Fast Cure Epoxy used for? 150FC is designed for full broadcast flooring systems including full flake, quartz, sand, and other approved aggregate systems. It functions as the primer, receiver coat, and moisture vapor barrier within its published 12 lb moisture limit. Is 150FC good for one day garage floors? Yes. One day full flake garage floors are one of the primary applications for 150FC. The fast cure allows experienced crews to prepare the slab, apply the receiver coat, broadcast flakes, scrape, vacuum, and topcoat in the same day when jobsite conditions allow. Is 150FC beginner friendly? No. 150FC is intended for experienced epoxy installers. The faster cure requires good job planning, correct mixing, immediate placement, fast spreading, and controlled broadcast timing. How much working time does 150FC provide? Working time is approximately 25 minutes at 75 degrees Fahrenheit after the epoxy has been properly mixed and placed onto the floor. Cooler conditions generally provide more time. Higher temperatures shorten working time. How quickly can I topcoat a full flake floor? Under a full broadcast, 150FC cures in approximately 2 hours at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. In very warm conditions above approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit, cure can occur in as little as approximately 75 minutes. Confirm that the broadcast is hard enough to scrape and vacuum before applying the topcoat. Does 150FC replace a moisture vapor barrier? 150FC can perform the moisture vapor barrier role on qualifying projects with moisture conditions within its published 12 lb limit. Test the concrete before installation. Slabs exceeding that limit or presenting other moisture conditions may require a dedicated moisture vapor barrier system. Can I use 150FC for a partial flake floor? No. A partial flake floor leaves a large portion of the epoxy exposed. 150FC is intended for full broadcast systems where the epoxy is completely buried beneath the broadcast media. Can I use 150FC for a solid color floor? No. Use a general purpose 100% solids epoxy such as One Stop Epoxy Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy when the epoxy itself will remain visible. Can I use 150FC as a metallic epoxy base coat? No. Use the appropriate slower curing pigmented epoxy base beneath a metallic flooring system. 150FC is reserved for full broadcast applications. Why does 150FC have to be completely covered? 150FC is not UV stable and can amber when exposed to light. Full flake, quartz, and sand broadcasts completely cover the epoxy before the clear topcoat is installed, preventing the epoxy color from remaining visible. Can 150FC be used outside? It may be used only as part of an appropriate full broadcast system where the 150FC is completely buried and is not the exposed finish. The complete exterior system must use a suitable UV resistant topcoat. How do I mix a full 3 gallon kit? Use only a Cage or Box style mixer. Mix at approximately 300 to 450 RPM for 2 full minutes when the material is above 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 3 full minutes when the material is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Then GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET and onto the floor immediately. Can I add solvent to extend the working time? No. Do not add solvent to 150FC. Altering the formulation can affect cure, film build, and moisture vapor performance. How much 150FC do I need for a full flake floor? A typical pigmented full flake receiver coat is applied at approximately 133 to 150 square feet per gallon, giving approximately 399 to 450 square feet from one 3 gallon kit. Actual material requirements depend on the concrete profile, porosity, repairs, film build, and normal application loss.

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 100% Solids Epoxy for Custom Metallic Floors Metallic Dream Epoxy is a 100% solids epoxy formulated specifically for decorative metallic floors that require depth, movement, pigment suspension, and enough working time to create the design before the resin begins to lock up. This is not a standard clear epoxy with metallic pigment added to it. Metallic Dream is designed around the requirements of a true metallic flooring installation, including extended flow, substantial film build, and 60 minutes or more of working time on the floor under suitable conditions. In One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic flooring systems, Metallic Dream is applied at approximately 50 square feet per gallon. One 3 gallon kit covers approximately 150 square feet at this application rate and produces approximately 32.1 mils of theoretical film thickness. Free shipping to the 48 contiguous states, and most orders ship out the same or next business day. Quick Answer: Metallic Dream is a 100% solids epoxy designed specifically for the decorative body coat of a metallic flooring system. It provides 60 minutes of working time on the floor. In the One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic flooring system, Metallic Dream is applied at approximately 50 square feet per gallon. At that rate, one 3 gallon kit covers approximately 150 square feet and produces approximately 32.1 mils of theoretical film thickness. Why Metallic Dream Is Different From General Purpose Epoxy A metallic floor depends on more than adhesion and hardness. The epoxy must remain fluid long enough for the installer to place the material, add colors, manipulate the pattern, soften transitions, and allow the design to continue developing as the resin levels. Metallic Dream Characteristic Why It Matters 60 Minutes of Working Time Provides time to place the epoxy, introduce additional colors, manipulate the pattern, and allow the resin to continue developing before it becomes too tight to work. 100% Solids Creates the substantial film build required for metallic pigment movement and visual depth. 500 to 750 cps Mixed Viscosity Provides controlled flow while allowing metallic pigments to move through the resin. High Defoamer Content Helps control air in the thick metallic body coat. The resin may appear slightly whitish in the container but cures clear. High Gloss Clear Cure Allows the metallic pigments and underlying base color to remain visible through the decorative body coat. Why Our Professional Metallic Systems Use 50 Square Feet Per Gallon In One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic flooring systems, Metallic Dream is applied at approximately 50 square feet per gallon. The substantial thickness of the metallic body coat gives the pigments room to move, separate, and develop the depth associated with a professional metallic epoxy floor. Professional System Rate Approximate Film Thickness 3 Gallon Kit Coverage 50 square feet per gallon Approximately 32.1 mils Approximately 150 square feet Metallic Dream may be used at different coverage rates in other specifically designed flooring systems. Always follow the coverage rate specified for the complete flooring system being installed. Do Not Stretch the Professional Metallic System: When installing the One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic system, maintain a coverage rate of 50 square feet per gallon or less. If the floor is larger than the available material will cover at the specified rate, add material rather than spreading the body coat thinner. Contractor Tip: Metallic floors are one place where trying to gain a few extra square feet from a kit can noticeably change the finished appearance. When installing the professional grade system, calculate the floor before mixing and have enough Metallic Dream available to maintain the specified film build from beginning to end. The Complete Metallic Flooring System Metallic Dream is the decorative body coat. A professional metallic floor is built as a complete system around it. System Layer Purpose Concrete Preparation Mechanically prepares the concrete for adhesion and removes coatings, sealers, contamination, and weak surface material. Primer When Required Helps seal porous concrete and reduce bubbles and pinholes. One Stop WB Epoxy Primer is commonly used when pore sealing is needed. Solid Color Base Coat Creates the uniform background beneath the metallic body coat. Use Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy in the selected base color. Metallic Dream Body Coat Carries the metallic pigments and creates the movement, depth, color separation, and decorative design. Clear Topcoat Provides the final wear surface and helps protect the metallic design from scratches, wear, chemicals, and cleaning. Do not use 150 Fast Cure as the base coat beneath Metallic Dream. Professional metallic systems require an appropriate slower curing solid color epoxy base before the metallic body coat is installed. If you prefer to purchase the primary layers as a complete package, see the Metallic Epoxy Flooring System. The Base Coat Is Part of the Design The color beneath Metallic Dream becomes part of the finished appearance. Black is commonly used because it creates strong contrast behind many metallic pigment combinations, but it is not the only option. White, gray, tan, and other solid base colors can be selected intentionally to change the appearance of the metallic layer. The base color should be chosen as part of the complete design rather than treated as an automatic choice. The Base Coat Must Be Clean and Smooth: Bubbles, pinholes, debris, repairs, roller texture, and other imperfections in the base coat can remain visible through the metallic body coat. Correct imperfections before applying Metallic Dream. For best results, sand the entire smooth base coat even when applying the metallic layer inside the chemical recoat window. Choosing Metallic Pigments Metallic Dream is supplied as the clear epoxy resin. The final design is created by adding one or more Metallic Epoxy Pigments. A metallic floor can use one color, but many custom designs combine a dominant primary color with one or more accent colors. Changing the pigment combination, base color, placement technique, and manipulation method changes the finished appearance. No two metallic floors will be identical. The epoxy continues to flow and settle after placement, so even the same colors and application technique will create natural variation from floor to floor. 60 Minutes of Working Time Is Design Time Metallic Dream provides 60 minutes of working time on the floor under suitable conditions. That additional time is not simply there to make application easier. It gives the installer time to create and refine the design. During the working period, installers may place additional colors, soften transitions, move material with a Magic Trowel, create veins, blend adjoining pours, or allow the resin to continue developing naturally. Higher temperatures shorten working time. Material temperature, slab temperature, air temperature, batch size, and air movement can all affect how quickly the epoxy begins to tighten. Mixing Metallic Dream Metallic Dream is supplied as a 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume epoxy system. Add metallic pigment to Part A first. Completely disperse the metallic pigment into the Base before adding the Activator. Allow the pigmented Base to settle. Allowing the pigment to fully wet out and incorporated air to escape can help reduce pigment clumps and unwanted streaking in the finished floor. Add Part B. Pour the Activator directly into the center of Part A. Avoid pouring Activator onto the sides of the container. Use a Cage or Box style mixer for a full 3 gallon kit. Full kits require a mixer capable of moving the thick epoxy throughout the entire container. Mix according to material temperature. Mix for 2 full minutes at approximately 300 to 450 RPM when the material is above 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 3 full minutes when the material is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix it and GET IT OUT OF THE BUCKET. Metallic Dream is a 100% solids epoxy. Once Part A and Part B are completely mixed, immediately pour the material onto the floor. Leaving mixed epoxy concentrated in the bucket allows heat to build and reduces usable working time. Applying the Metallic Body Coat Metallic epoxy application is different from installing a conventional solid color roll coat. The objective is to place a thick, controlled resin layer and then create the design within that material. Pour immediately. Wearing spiked shoes, pour the mixed Metallic Dream onto the prepared base coat in controlled ribbons. Do not drain or scrape the mixing bucket onto the floor. Material remaining on the walls or bottom of the container may not be mixed as completely as the main batch. Follow the coverage rate specified for the flooring system. When installing the One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic system, apply Metallic Dream at approximately 50 square feet per gallon or less. Manipulate the design. Use an 18 Inch Magic Trowel or another appropriate metallic design tool to place and blend the material. Work with the resin, not against it. Metallic Dream will continue to move and level after the initial design work is complete. Avoid repeatedly working areas that have already begun to tighten. Protect the wet floor. Control dust, hair, insects, debris, excessive air movement, and unnecessary traffic while the body coat is curing. Contractor Tip: Build the entire color plan before mixing the first batch. Record the amount of each pigment used in every batch and determine where accent colors will be introduced. Metallic floors are much easier to keep visually consistent when the design is planned before the material reaches the floor. Topcoating Metallic Dream A clear topcoat is strongly recommended over a metallic floor. The Metallic Dream body coat creates the appearance, while the topcoat becomes the primary wear surface. Premera T2 Gloss is an excellent choice when scratch resistance and a high gloss appearance are priorities. Poly Gloss 85 Slow Go is another strong option when the installer wants substantially more topcoat working time on a metallic floor or a larger smooth surface. The topcoat should be selected based on desired gloss, scratch resistance, working time, odor, floor size, traction requirements, and how the finished space will be used.

It is not the right choice for every floor. Exterior exposed floors: Not recommended. Clear epoxy can amber when exposed to direct sunlight. Heavy industrial utility floors: A decorative metallic floor may not be the best choice where forklift traffic, severe impact, aggressive chemicals, or constant mechanical abuse are the primary concerns. Full flake broadcast floors: Use a resin designed specifically for the broadcast system. Basic solid color floors: Metallic Dream is intended to create a decorative metallic body coat, not a conventional solid color finish. Frequently Asked Questions What makes Metallic Dream different from regular 100% solids epoxy? Metallic Dream is formulated specifically as a metallic body coat. It provides 60 minutes of working time, controlled flow, pigment suspension, and the substantial film build needed for metallic movement and depth. How much working time does Metallic Dream provide? Metallic Dream provides approximately 60 minutes of working time on the floor under suitable conditions. Higher temperatures can shorten the available working time. How much Metallic Dream should I apply? Coverage depends on the flooring system being installed. In One Stop Epoxy professional grade metallic flooring systems, Metallic Dream is applied at approximately 50 square feet per gallon or less, providing approximately 150 square feet from a 3 gallon kit at 50 square feet per gallon. Always follow the coverage rate specified for the complete flooring system. How many square feet does one 3 gallon kit cover in the professional metallic system? At 50 square feet per gallon, one 3 gallon kit covers approximately 150 square feet. If the professional system calls for a heavier application, actual coverage will be lower. Do I need a base coat under Metallic Dream? Yes. Metallic Dream should be installed over a properly prepared solid color epoxy base coat. The base creates a uniform background and prevents concrete color, repairs, and surface variation from interfering with the metallic design. Can I use 150 Fast Cure as the base coat? No. Do not use 150 Fast Cure as the base coat beneath Metallic Dream. For the professional metallic system, use an appropriate slower curing solid color epoxy such as One Stop Epoxy Self Leveling 100% Solids Epoxy. Does the base coat have to be black? No. Black creates strong contrast behind many metallic colors, but white, gray, tan, and other colors can be used intentionally to create different effects. Should I sand the base coat before applying Metallic Dream? For best results, yes. Even inside the chemical recoat window, sanding a smooth epoxy base coat helps remove imperfections and provides additional mechanical adhesion. Correct bubbles, pinholes, dust, and other defects before installing the metallic body coat. Can I use more than one metallic pigment? Yes. Many metallic floors use a primary color with one or more accent colors. The pigments, base color, placement method, and manipulation technique determine the final appearance. Will two Metallic Dream floors look exactly the same? No. Metallic Dream continues to flow and develop after placement. Natural variation in pigment movement makes every finished floor different. Is Metallic Dream beginner friendly? Metallic flooring requires more planning and technique than a conventional epoxy roll coat. New installers should practice pigment ratios, placement, and design techniques on sample boards before attempting a large professional grade metallic floor. What tool is used to create the metallic pattern? An 18 Inch Magic Trowel is commonly used to spread and manipulate Metallic Dream. Other techniques can also be used depending on the desired design. What topcoat should I use over Metallic Dream? Premera T2 Gloss is a strong choice when scratch resistance and gloss are priorities. Poly Gloss 85 Slow Go is another option when extended topcoat working time is important. Can Metallic Dream be used outdoors? No. Metallic Dream should not be used as an exposed exterior flooring surface. Clear epoxy can amber when exposed to direct sunlight. Build the Complete Metallic Floor Metallic Dream is the decorative body coat.

It performs as a reliable receiver coat for broadcast flake systems, providing enough open time to ensure a consistent flake distribution. Why is the "Extended Working Time" so important?Standard epoxies can flash quickly in the bucket, leading to stress and mistakes. LABPOX 30 gives you a massive window to maintain a wet edge on large floors and execute intricate metallic designs without the product locking up prematurely. Does this require a topcoat?Yes. Like all 100 percent solids epoxies, a UV stable topcoat (like Polyaspartic or Urethane) is highly recommended to prevent ambering and provide long term scratch resistance.

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. Coverage and Cure Schedule Application Type Approx. Coverage Metallic Body Coat (High Depth) 50 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Solid Color / Base Coat 133 – 150 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Super Opaque White 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Working Time: 60 Minutes Tack Free: 9 Hours Recoat Window: 9 to 24 Hours Full Cure: 7 Days 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.

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. Is it safe for indoor use?Yes. LABPOX LV UV is 100 percent solids and low VOC. It has very low odor, making it safe for use in occupied buildings and retail spaces.

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. Coverage and Cure Schedule Application Type Coverage (Sq. Ft. / GAL) 3D Metallic Body Coat (30 Mils) 40 - 50 Sq. Ft. Standard Metallic Build (12 Mils) 50 Sq. Ft.

Working Time: 90 to 100 Minutes Tack Free: 14 Hours Recoat Window: 14 to 24 Hours Light Foot Traffic: 48 Hours Full Cure: 7 Days 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.

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 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. Thickness (Mils) Approx. Coverage 16 Mils (Recommended) 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon 14 Mils 114 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon 12 Mils 133 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon 4 to 6 Mils (Green Concrete Primer) 265 to 400 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon 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.

LABPOX Primer | 100% Solids Epoxy Primer for Concrete Floors LABPOX Primer is a professional grade, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy primer engineered to create a strong, uniform bond between concrete and your flooring system. Designed with advanced pinhole mitigation technology, this primer reduces surface defects and provides a consistent foundation for metallic, flake, and solid color epoxy floors. This is not just a primer. It is the layer that determines whether your entire floor system performs the way it should. Where LABPOX Primer Fits in Your System First coat directly over properly prepared concrete Reduces outgassing and pinholes in the slab Improves adhesion of base coats and body coats Used under metallic, flake, and solid color epoxy systems Critical layer for long term system performance Key Features and Benefits Pinhole Mitigation Technology: Reduces pinholes by up to 98 percent 100% Solids and No VOC: Clean, solvent free formulation Low Viscosity: Approximately 300 cps for excellent penetration into concrete Superior Adhesion: Bonds aggressively to properly prepared concrete surfaces Early Blush Resistance: Helps maintain a clean surface for recoating High Elongation: Absorbs impact and accommodates minor slab movement Fast Recoat Window: Allows efficient system installation Low Odor: Suitable for interior applications Why This Primer Matters Most coating failures start at the concrete surface. Air trapped in the slab can rise during installation and create pinholes, bubbles, and weak bonding points. LABPOX Primer is designed to penetrate the surface, seal the slab, and create a stable base so the rest of your system performs as intended. If your slab is porous, inconsistent, or prone to pinholes, this step is essential. Without a dedicated primer, you risk your decorative coats being ruined by outgassing from the concrete below. Technical Performance Snapshot Property Value Mix Ratio 2 Parts A to 1 Part B Viscosity 300 cps Working Time 25 minutes Tack Free 2.5 hours Recoat Window 3 to 24 hours Foot Traffic 24 hours Surface Preparation Concrete must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Remove grease, oil, curing agents, and coatings. Mechanically grind the surface to achieve a proper CSP 2 or CSP 3 profile. Concrete should be cured for at least 28 days. If the slab is newer than 28 days or has elevated moisture levels, use a moisture vapor barrier system like MVB FAST before applying this primer. Proper preparation is required. This product solves adhesion problems, not surface contamination. Mixing and Application Mix Ratio: 2 parts Part A to 1 part Part B. Mix Time: Minimum 3 minutes with a low speed drill (300 to 450 RPM). Technique: Scrape sides and bottom of container while mixing. Placement: Pour immediately after mixing. Apply using a squeegee and back roll with a high quality roller to ensure even coverage and proper penetration into the concrete surface. Porous or soft concrete will require additional material to achieve full coverage and proper sealing. Frequently Asked Questions Do I really need a primer? Yes. A primer improves adhesion, reduces pinholes, and ensures a consistent base for the rest of the system. It is your insurance policy against coating failure. What does pinhole mitigation mean? It helps prevent small air bubbles from forming in your coating by sealing the slab. This stops air from escaping the concrete and becoming trapped in the wet resin. Can I apply this directly to concrete? Yes. This product is designed specifically to be applied directly to properly prepared concrete surfaces. When should I use a moisture vapor barrier instead? If your slab has high moisture levels (over 75 percent RH) or is newly poured, a moisture vapor barrier should be used before this primer. How soon can I apply my next coat? You can typically recoat within 3 to 24 hours depending on site conditions and temperature. What happens if I wait longer than 24 hours to recoat? You must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure the next coat bonds properly, otherwise you risk delamination. Is this primer low odor? Yes. Being 100 percent solids with no solvents, it is virtually odor free and safe for interior use. Can I use this for outdoor applications? This system is intended for interior use. For exterior projects, contact us for UV stable options. What tools do I need for application? A flat or notched squeegee to spread the material and an 18 inch roller to back roll it into the pores. Can I add color to this primer? Yes, it can be pigmented to provide a uniform base color for your subsequent layers.

APF Epoxy Novolac 900 | Chemical Resistant Novolac Epoxy APF Epoxy Novolac 900 is an industrial strength, 100% solids epoxy built for environments where standard epoxy breaks down under chemical exposure. If you are dealing with battery acid, concentrated chemicals, or aggressive industrial conditions, this is the type of system that should be considered. This is not a general purpose epoxy. It is used when chemical resistant flooring is required, not just a protective coating. Unlike standard floor coatings that can soften, stain, or lose adhesion when exposed to solvents or acids, Novolac 900 is engineered with a tighter molecular structure that helps prevent chemicals from penetrating the resin and reaching the concrete below. Technical Performance Snapshot Physical Property Value Mix Ratio 2 Parts A to 1 Part B Compressive Strength 12,500 psi Tensile Strength 8,200 psi Flexural Strength 10,200 psi Hardness 82 Shore D Bond Strength >350 psi, concrete failure VOC Content <50 g/L Important System Design: Novolac 900 is intended to serve as the chemical resistant surface in the system. Do not assume standard clear topcoats are suitable over this product. Many decorative topcoats do not offer the same chemical resistance as a novolac epoxy. Let the Novolac do the work unless a compatible system has been confirmed for the specific exposure. What Chemicals Can It Handle? APF Epoxy Novolac 900 is designed for harsh industrial exposure, including strong acids, solvents, and chemical storage areas. It is especially suited for applications involving inorganic acids, including 98% sulfuric acid. 98% sulfuric acid Battery acid and electrolyte exposure Chemical processing areas Solvent exposure Waste treatment environments Industrial chemical storage Actual chemical resistance depends on concentration, exposure time, temperature, cleaning procedures, and full system design. For critical applications, confirm chemical resistance requirements before installation. Cure Schedule Condition At 77°F At 40°F Pot Life ~30 Minutes Extended Dry to Touch ~4 Hours ~18 Hours Light Traffic ~10 Hours ~36 Hours Recoat Window 12 to 24 Hours 18 to 24 Hours Full Cure and Chemical Resistance ~7 Days ~14 Days Common Questions About Novolac Epoxy How is Novolac different from normal epoxy? Think of normal epoxy as a screen door and Novolac as a solid steel door. Chemicals can eventually soak into standard epoxy and cause softening, staining, or failure. Novolac has a much tighter structure that helps keep chemicals on the surface so they are less likely to damage the resin or the concrete underneath. Do I need a primer first? On most slabs, yes. A quality primer can help seal the concrete and reduce outgassing. For chemical exposure areas, the full system should be selected carefully so the primer, body coat, and final surface all match the exposure requirements. Can I add color flakes or metallic pigments to this? It is not recommended for serious chemical areas. Flakes and metallic pigments are decorative materials, and the chemicals that this floor is designed to resist may attack those decorative components even if the Novolac itself remains intact. For chemical service, solid color systems are usually the safer choice. Does Novolac smell bad during installation? APF Epoxy Novolac 900 is a 100% solids product with VOC content listed at less than 50 g/L. Proper ventilation and safety practices are still required, but it does not install like older solvent heavy industrial coatings. Is it harder to apply than regular epoxy? The application method is similar. Apply with a squeegee and back roll with a 3/8 inch nap roller. The difference is that chemical resistant systems are less forgiving. Mixing, surface preparation, coverage rate, and recoat timing must be handled correctly. Will it turn yellow in the sun? Like most epoxies, Novolac 900 can amber when exposed to UV light. It is best suited for interior industrial spaces where chemical resistance matters more than long term color stability. Can I use this for secondary containment? Yes. Novolac epoxy is commonly used in containment areas, pits, and chemical storage spaces where the coating system must help keep spills on the surface and away from the concrete below. Surface Preparation Concrete must be clean, sound, and mechanically prepared to a CSP 2 to 3 profile. Grinding or shot blasting is required to create the proper surface profile for adhesion. Acid etching is not considered a professional installation procedure and should not be used in place of mechanical grinding or shot blasting. It does not create a consistent surface profile and may void manufacturer warranties. After preparation, vacuum thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Mixing and Application Mix using a slow speed drill and paddle mixer for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container during mixing. Do not mix by hand, and do not whip air into the material. Apply immediately after mixing. Spread with a squeegee and back roll with a quality solvent resistant 3/8 inch nap roller. Maintain a wet edge and do not roll material after it begins to set. Apply at 100 to 200 SFPG, depending on the target film build and system design. If the 24 hour recoat window is exceeded, abrade the surface with 80 to 100 grit until it is uniformly gloss free and dust free before recoating. System Limitations APF Epoxy Novolac 900 is not suitable for constant temperature exposure over 175°F. It is also not recommended as a clear topcoat for decorative applications. Before application, verify that the ambient temperature is at least 5°F above the dew point. Avoid kerosene or propane forced air heaters during installation, as they may cause discoloration or finish defects. OneStopEpoxy.com We ship Novolac and chemical resistant epoxy systems nationwide.
