from $167.00
LABPOX 30 100% Solids Epoxy | Professional Flooring System
LABPOX 30 is a professional grade, 100% solids epoxy engineered for installers who demand reliability and extended working time. Whether used as a base coat, body coat, or the foundation for metallic epoxy systems, LABPOX 30 delivers the consistency required for high performance industrial, commercial, and residential environments.
The Professional Advantage: Unlike limited use epoxies that flash quickly, LABPOX 30 provides a balanced 45 to 60 minute working window, ensuring superior flow, pinhole mitigation, and a glass like finish even on large scale installations.

Where LABPOX 30 Fits in a Flooring System
1. As a High Adhesion Base Coat
Provides a consistent, durable foundation for solid color, flake, or quartz broadcast systems. LABPOX 30 is self priming and can be applied directly to properly prepared concrete under the right conditions.
2. As a Metallic Body Coat ("The Money Coat")
Specifically optimized for metallic epoxy systems. The extended open time allows for intricate pigment movement and pattern development before the resin sets.
3. As an Intermediate Build Coat
Increases overall system thickness and impact resistance in heavy traffic industrial or warehouse environments.

System Limitations
LABPOX 30 requires a dry substrate. Moisture content must be below acceptable limits unless a moisture mitigation system is used. Not intended for exterior applications.
Recommended System Setup
For a guaranteed bond and long term finish, follow this professional stack:
Primer: LAB Surface Epoxy Primer or LABPOX MVB Clear Fast for moisture vapor barriers.
Base/Body: Apply LABPOX 30 (Solid Color or Metallic).
Topcoat: Seal with LABFAST Xtra Time (Polyaspartic) or LABFENDER Polyurethane for maximum abrasion resistance.
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 30Â system.
Combine Components: Pour 2 containers of Part A (Base) into a large mixing bucket, being careful not to pour material onto the sides of the larger bucket.
Add Activator: Pour the Part B (Activator) directly into the center of the large bucket. Again, ensure no material gets on the sides of the Base bucket; failing to do so may leave unmixed resin that causes soft spots on your finished floor.
Mixing Time: Mix full kits with a Box mixer for 2 minutes. Use a low-speed drill (300 to 450 RPM) to minimize air entrapment.
Scrape Sides: During the mixing process, make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container thoroughly so no unmixed material remains.
Immediate Placement: Once the product is properly mixed, it needs to be immediately poured onto the floor. Leaving mixed material for too long in a mixing pail will create an exothermic reaction (rapid heat buildup), rendering the product unusable.
Application Procedure
Application Procedure Pour mixed material in a 20 foot long 12 inch wide ribbon Do not drain or scrape remaining material from the bucket onto the floor. Spread to uniform thickness with a notched squeegee and roll North South and back roll East West to achieve uniform coverage. Roller should be a 3/8 inch shed resistant epoxy roller cover.
PRO TIP: For metallic floors, use the extended 60 minute window to manipulate your pigments with a 9/16 inch looped roller or notched squeegee to create depth and movement before the product begins its initial set.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is LABPOX 30 good for metallic epoxy floors?Yes. It is exceptionally well suited for metallic systems due to its 45 to 60 minute working time and excellent flow characteristics, allowing installers to create flawless designs with proper pigment movement.
Can this be used as a base coat?Yes. LABPOX 30 works incredibly well as a dependable, high strength base coat for a wide variety of systems, including solid color, flake, and quartz.
Is this product beginner friendly?Because of the extended working time, it is more forgiving than fast cure epoxies, but proper surface preparation and installation technique are still required.
How long is the actual working time?You will have approximately 60 minutes of working time at 70°F and 45 minutes at 80°F. Humidity and surface temperature can also affect these windows.
What is the mix ratio for LABPOX 30?It is a two component system with a precise mix ratio of 2 Parts A to 1 Part B (2A:1B) by volume.
Can this be used for flake floors?Absolutely. 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.
