AQUALAB Pure Gloss | Water Based Urethane Epoxy Topcoat
Product Overview
AQUALAB Pure Gloss is a high performance, aliphatic water based urethane topcoat engineered to provide a professional grade protective shield over epoxy flooring. This two component (5 to 1) system delivers superior chemical resistance, elite abrasion resistance, and long term UV protection while maintaining a low odor application.
This is the definitive choice for installers who need to protect warehouse and light duty commercial epoxy floors from premature wear, staining, and UV damage.
The Aliphatic Advantage: Why Use a Urethane?
While epoxy provides the structural build and "pop" for decorative floors, it is naturally susceptible to micro scratches and chemical staining. AQUALAB Pure Gloss adds an aliphatic urethane layer that is significantly harder and more resilient than epoxy. This is why most professional systems use a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat instead of leaving epoxy exposed. This results in:
Extreme Scratch Resistance: Drastically reduces the "dulling" effect of foot traffic.
UV Shielding: Unlike standard epoxy, this topcoat will not yellow and helps slow down the ambering of the epoxy layers beneath it.
Stain Protection: Creates a non-porous surface that is much easier to clean and maintain in residential or commercial settings.
Finish Options
Gloss: Delivers a high-shine, glass like finish that maximizes color depth.
Satin: Provides a refined, low-sheen look that hides surface imperfections and dust more effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this better than using epoxy as a topcoat?Yes. Aliphatic urethane topcoats provide significantly better chemical resistance, scratch resistance, and long term cleanability compared to standard epoxy alone.

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