150 Fast Cure 100% Solids Epoxy | Primer, Base Coat & MVB One Stop Epoxy 150 Fast Cure (150FC) is a contractor grade, rapid-curing 100% solids epoxy engineered specifically for high-efficiency broadcast systems. This versatile resin functions as a primer, base coat, and Moisture Vapor Barrier (MVB) in a single application, allowing crews to complete full flake, quartz, and sand broadcast floors in a fraction of the time. Designed for one day floor installations, 150FC performs exceptionally well in hot and humid environments, offering a rapid return to service without the "flash cure" risks of inferior fast-setting epoxies. The 150FC Technical Advantage 3-in-1 System: Acts as a high-strength primer, pigmented base coat, and MVB rated up to 12 lbs. 90-Minute Recoat: Fast cure profile allows for scraping and top coating in as little as 90 minutes. Extended Working Time: Provides 20 to 30 minutes of open time on the floor nearly double that of traditional rapid cure epoxies. UV Considerations: Engineered for full broadcast systems (flake, quartz, sand) where the epoxy is fully covered to prevent visible ambering. Best Uses for Fast Cure Epoxy One Day Flake Floors: The industry standard for rapid garage and commercial prep. Sand & Quartz Broadcasts: Ideal for industrial non-slip systems requiring fast turnaround. Humid Climates: Specifically formulated to remain manageable in high-humidity markets like Florida. Mixing and Application (Critical for Success) Pro Warning: 150FC is for experienced installers. It requires mechanical surface prep (CSP 2-3) and must be poured in ribbons immediately after mixing to avoid exotherm in the bucket. Mix Ratio: 2 Parts A to 1 Part B. Mix Time: 2 minutes if above 75°F; 3 minutes if below 75°F. Mixer: Use a box or cage style mixer for full kits. Working Time: 20–30 minutes depending on ambient temperature. Frequently Asked Questions Is this a good epoxy for garage floors?Yes. It is the preferred base coat for professional installers performing one day full flake garage floor installations. What makes 150FC different from other fast cure epoxies?150FC includes a built-in moisture vapor barrier (up to 12 lbs) and offers significantly more working time on the floor than standard rapid-set resins. 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.

LABPOX 35 | 100% Solids Epoxy for Porous Concrete and Pinhole Control LABPOX 35 is a professional grade, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy system engineered specifically for porous concrete and challenging substrates. Where standard epoxies might struggle with pinholes and outgassing, LABPOX 35 is designed to seal the slab and provide a consistent foundation for your decorative or protective system. This product is the industry preferred choice for use as a base coat or receiver coat on inconsistent slabs. Whether you are installing a high end metallic floor or a heavy duty flake system, LABPOX 35 solves surface problems before they can affect your final finish quality. If you are dealing with porous concrete, pinholes, or "thirsty" slabs, this is the highest-performing epoxy solution in the One Stop lineup. Surface Preparation Requirements Proper surface preparation is critical to the performance of LABPOX 35. Failure to prepare the substrate correctly will result in poor adhesion and surface defects. Mechanical Preparation: Surface must be mechanically prepared (grinding or shot-blasting) to a minimum CSP-2 profile. All pores must be open to allow proper penetration. Clean Surface: Concrete must be clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, paint, or curing agents. Concrete Cure Time: New concrete must cure for a minimum of 28 days. Moisture Testing: Moisture content must be below 4%. Test multiple areas of the slab before application. Fiber Reinforced Concrete: All exposed fibers must be completely removed (burnt or ground) prior to coating to prevent voids. Repair: Significant voids or cracks should be addressed prior to coating to ensure a seamless finish. Mixing Instructions Proper mixing is critical to the performance of LABPOX 35, especially when working with porous concrete. Pre Mix Part A: Mechanically mix Part A in its original container for at least 1 minute to ensure all solids and pigments are fully suspended. Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A with 1 part Part B in a clean mixing container. Mix Time: Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill and a Box mixer at 300 to 450 RPM. Technique: Scrape the sides and bottom of the container to ensure a completely uniform mixture. Immediate Placement: Once mixed, the material must be immediately poured onto the floor in ribbons. Leaving material in the bucket will cause it to heat up (exotherm) and drastically reduce working time. Application To ensure equal down pressure and a uniform profile, apply using an 24-inch 3/16th inch notched squeegee and an 18" X 3/8" nap roller. Use a 9-inch roller only for detail edge work. This technique ensures the material can properly lay down and seal the slab. Recoat and Sanding Requirements Timing is critical to ensuring a chemical bond between layers. Follow these guidelines for a professional finish: Within 24 Hours: A second coat may be applied without the need for sanding. After 24 Hours: The surface must be mechanically sanded to achieve a uniform dull finish. All gloss must be removed to ensure a proper mechanical bond. Cleaning: After sanding, vacuum all dust and wipe the surface with denatured alcohol. The surface must be completely clean and dry before applying the next coat. Coverage Rates Application Type Approx. Coverage Flake Receiver Coat 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Commercial/Industrial (Smooth) 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Metallic Base Coat 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon *This is a very heavy duty high strength commercial grade epoxy that is applied thick. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and mechanical profile (CSP) of the concrete. Frequently Asked Questions When should I use LABPOX 35 instead of LABPOX 30?Use LABPOX 35 when working with porous concrete or when pinholes are a concern. It is formulated to bridge those gaps. LABPOX 30 is typically used for smoother surfaces or as a build coat. Do I really have to sand after 24 hours?Yes. After 24 hours, the epoxy cures to a hard, glossy finish that new layers cannot "stick" to chemically. Sanding creates a mechanical "tooth" that allows the next layer to bond securely. Can I use this as a standalone coating?Absolutely. LABPOX 35 is a high performance 100% solids epoxy that can be used as a standalone system in industrial or commercial environments where UV stability isn't the primary concern. Does this help prevent pinholes?Yes. This product is specifically formulated to reduce pinholes caused by air release in porous concrete, provided the slab has been properly prepared to a CSP-2 profile. What happens if I leave the mixed material in the bucket?Because this is a 100% solids system, it generates heat (exotherm). If left in the bucket, it will cure rapidly often in minutes and can become hot enough to melt the plastic or smoke. Always pour in ribbons immediately. Can I apply this over a previous coating?Only if the previous coating is well bonded and has been mechanically sanded to a completely dull finish. We always recommend testing a small area for compatibility first. Why is 28 days required for new concrete?New concrete holds a high amount of moisture. Coating too early traps that moisture, which leads to hydrostatic pressure that can blow the epoxy right off the slab. Is an 18-inch roller mandatory?While not "mandatory," it is the professional standard. An 18-inch roller provides more uniform down pressure, which is essential for forcing the epoxy into the pores of the concrete to stop outgassing.
