System Limitations Where to Upgrade: APF Epoxy 400 is a general purpose resin. It is not recommended for harsh chemical exposure, hot water wash downs, or food processing environments. Upgrade to APF Epoxy 600 or a Novolac system for those conditions. Common Frequently Asked Questions Can I use Epoxy 400 in a residential garage? Yes. APF Epoxy 400 works well as a base coat for full flake garage floors when applied to properly prepared concrete. What happens if I miss the 24 hour recoat window? You must sand the surface with 80 to 100 grit until it is gloss free before applying the next coat. How many pigment packs do I need for a 1.5 gallon kit? Use one pigment pack per unit. Larger kits are typically pre pigmented from the factory. Can Epoxy 400 be used for a metallic floor? It is not recommended. Metallic floors require a slower moving resin designed for pigment flow and pattern formation. Is Epoxy 400 UV stable? Standard epoxy resins can amber over time when exposed to UV light. APF Epoxy 400 is available in a UVR version for improved UV resistance. For areas with regular sunlight exposure, a UV stable topcoat should still be used. Why is mechanical grinding required? Grinding creates a consistent surface profile that allows the epoxy to bond properly. Acid etching does not achieve this. Can I hand mix this product? No. Epoxy 400 must be mechanically mixed with a slow speed drill and paddle mixer for 2 to 3 minutes. Hand mixing can lead to soft spots or uncured areas.

With a compressive strength of nearly 19,500 psi and a Shore D hardness of 82, it is engineered to withstand the heavy point loading and abrasive wear associated with frequent forklift and pallet jack traffic in manufacturing and warehouse settings. When should I use Epoxy 600 instead of standard epoxy? You should upgrade to APF Epoxy 600 when your project environment demands more chemical resistance and faster turnaround times than a general purpose epoxy can provide. It is the industrial step-up choice for professional results. Is Epoxy 600 resistant to hot tire pick up? Yes. Because Epoxy 600 is a high performance 100% solids resin with high cross-linking density, it does not soften under the heat of automotive tires. This makes it a superior choice for high end automotive shops and showrooms. Can I apply this over an existing epoxy coating? Generally, no. For Epoxy 600 to perform at its full industrial specification, it must bond directly to a mechanically profiled concrete surface. Applying a high performance industrial epoxy over a lower-grade, failing coating creates a weak link in the system. Why is the pot life only 20 minutes? High performance resins cure via an exothermic reaction. The faster cure time is a professional feature that allows for quicker turnaround, but it requires the installer to pour the material onto the floor immediately after mixing to avoid excessive heat buildup in the bucket. Does this product work in lower temperatures? Yes. APF Epoxy 600 cures much better in cool temperatures (down to 50°F) than most general purpose epoxies, making it a favorite for winter installations or cooler facility environments.

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.
