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. Technical Data and Safety Information Review the current product data and safety information before installation, particularly when 150FC is being used for moisture vapor control or in a commercial flooring system.

APF Oil Stop Primer | Epoxy Primer for Oil Contaminated Concrete Product Overview APF Oil Stop Primer is a professional grade 100% solids epoxy primer engineered specifically to bond to oil soaked and hydrocarbon contaminated concrete. When standard primers fail due to embedded oils, this low viscosity formula penetrates deep into the slab to create a reliable and permanent bond. For garages, auto shops, and industrial floors exposed to motor oil, hydraulic fluid, or solvents, this product prevents delamination and provides your coating system a stable starting point. It is the definitive solution when the concrete is already compromised and you still need the floor to perform. Avoid Costly Concrete Replacement: Standard primers cannot bond to contaminated concrete, which leads to peeling and system failure. APF Oil Stop Primer is designed specifically for these conditions, allowing you to successfully coat difficult slabs so you don't have to rip out the floor and replace it. Key Benefits Bonds to Contaminated Surfaces: Specifically designed for slabs affected by oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons. Deep Anchor Penetration: Low viscosity formula helps the resin anchor into compromised concrete pores. Prevents Delamination: Creates a reliable base for epoxy, polyaspartic, and flake systems. Problem Solving Performance: The go to primer when traditional resins will not hold. 100% Solids and Low VOC: Strong build with minimal odor, making it suitable for interior applications. Recommended Applications Auto repair shops and service bays. Residential garage floors and home workshops. Machine shops with frequent oil or fluid spills. Industrial warehouses with heavy forklift traffic. Technical Specifications Property Details Mix Ratio 3 Parts A to 2 Parts B Kit Size 1.25 Gallons Coverage Approximately 125 sq ft per kit Color Clear (Not Tintable) Surface Preparation Concrete must be cured for at least 30 days and structurally sound. Surface must be free of loose coatings, wax, and heavy surface debris. Mechanically prepare the surface to a CSP 2 or CSP 3 profile. Vacuum thoroughly to remove all dust and debris before application. Pro Tip: Apply APF Oil Stop Primer immediately after grinding and surface preparation. On heavily oil-contaminated slabs, embedded oils can migrate back to the surface within hours. Delaying application increases the risk of adhesion failure, so it is best to prep and coat in the same window. Mixing and Application Mixing: Combine Part A and Part B at a 3 to 2 ratio. Mix with a low speed drill for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape sides and bottom thoroughly. Apply immediately after mixing. Application: Pour in ribbons and spread with a squeegee. Back roll with a solvent resistant 3/8 inch nap roller. Technique: Back roll twice in a north south and east west pattern to ensure the resin fully wets the substrate. Recoat: Apply subsequent coats within 24 hours. If exceeded, sand with 80 to 100 grit until a uniform dull finish is achieved. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use this on a floor that currently has standing oil?No. While it bonds to contaminated concrete, you must first clean and degrease the surface to remove standing oil and surface muck before mechanical preparation. What happens if I use a regular primer on oil soaked concrete?Standard epoxies will likely bead up or fail to bond, leading to fish eyes in the coating and eventual peeling once vehicle tires or heat are introduced. Is this primer clear?Yes. It is a clear 100% solids epoxy. It is not designed to be tinted. Can I apply a flake system over this?Yes. This creates an ideal bond for epoxy base coats, flake systems, and polyaspartic topcoats on compromised slabs.

APF VaporSolve® Primer | Adhesion Primer for Silicate Treated Concrete Product Overview APF VaporSolve® Primer is a specialized water based epoxy primer engineered exclusively for the VaporSolve moisture mitigation system. This product is not a standalone moisture vapor barrier (MVB). Its primary purpose is to serve as the critical "bridge" between challenging concrete substrates and the protective moisture barrier coat. It is specifically designed to solve adhesion failures on concrete slabs treated with silicate based curing compounds or densifiers—surfaces where traditional epoxy primers simply cannot bond. When used as the foundation for VaporSolve LP, it ensures the entire system remains anchored even under extreme hydrostatic pressure and high alkalinity. IMPORTANT: APF VaporSolve® Primer is an adhesion promoter, not a moisture barrier. It must be topcoated with VaporSolve LP to achieve moisture mitigation. Do not purchase this as a standalone solution for moisture vapor; it is specifically for bonding to high moisture slabs and concrete treated with silicates or densifiers. Where This Product Fits System Foundation: The mandatory first coat for the VaporSolve moisture mitigation system. Silicate Bond Specialist: Formulated to penetrate concrete treated with sodium or potassium silicates. Damp Slab Integration: Safely adheres to green or damp concrete where solvent primers fail. Alkalinity Defense: Uses Bisphenol F resin technology to resist the high pH environments common in wet slabs. Key Features Substrate Penetration: Low viscosity allows the resin to wet out and anchor into dense concrete pores. System Specific: Engineered to work in perfect chemical harmony with VaporSolve LP. Water Based & Low Odor: Safe for use in schools, hospitals, and occupied residential spaces. Wide Application Window: Reliable curing in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 100°F. Technical Specs & Mixing Property Details Coverage Approximately 200 sq ft per gallon Mix Ratio Do not mix partial kits Water Addition 1 gal water (3 gal kit) | 1 qt water (0.75 gal kit) Next Step Apply VaporSolve LP within 24 hours Surface Preparation Concrete must be mechanically prepared to a CSP 2 or CSP 3 profile. Remove all wax, old coatings, and loose contaminants. Vacuum thoroughly; the primer must reach the open pores of the concrete. Important: Acid etching is not an approved prep method for moisture mitigation systems. Mixing Instructions Pour entire contents of Part B into Part A. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes with a low speed drill (300 to 450 RPM). Add Water: Add the required amount of clean potable water and mix again for 2 to 3 minutes until uniform and creamy. Apply immediately. Pour material onto the floor within 3 minutes of mixing to maximize penetration. Frequently Asked Questions Can I skip the primer and just use VaporSolve LP?If your concrete has been densified or treated with silicates, skipping this primer will likely lead to a bond failure. This primer is the only layer engineered to bite into those silicate residues. How long do I wait before applying the VaporSolve LP barrier coat?Apply the LP barrier coat as soon as the primer is tack free, typically within 6 to 12 hours. Do not wait longer than 24 hours without mechanical sanding. Is this the same as a standard water based epoxy?No. This is a Bisphenol F resin system designed specifically for the extreme alkalinity and vapor pressure found in moisture mitigation environments. Does this primer come in colors?No. VaporSolve Primer is a clear system. Its job is substrate penetration, not aesthetics. Color is introduced in the subsequent coating layers. Do I need to wash the floor before priming?Mechanical grinding is the best prep. If the slab is dirty, it must be degreased and neutralized before grinding. The primer must reach clean, open concrete to work.

One Stop WB Epoxy Primer | High Performance 2 Part Water Based Epoxy One Stop WB Epoxy Primer is a professional grade water based epoxy designed to create a high bond foundation for epoxy flooring systems. This product is most commonly used as a pore sealing primer under 100% solids epoxy, where controlling outgassing and ensuring adhesion is critical to the success of the entire floor. Universal Compatibility – Approved for use with One Stop 100% Solids, 150FC, Metallic Dream, WB Urethanes, and PolyGloss 85. Multi Purpose Utility – Functions as a high bond primer, a flake floor base coat, or a durable interior finish coat. Pore Sealing Technology – Eliminates outgassing bubbles so your next layer of 100% solids Epoxy goes out bubble free. Industrial Strength – Scratch and abrasion resistant; tough enough for vehicle traffic and commercial use. VOC Compliant – Safe for interior use in garages, kitchens, warehouses, and basements. Most coating failures start at the surface. A properly applied primer like this one eliminates that risk by sealing the concrete and creating a consistent foundation for the system. Where This Product Fits in Your System This primer is designed to work as the first step in a complete epoxy flooring system. Use under 100% solids epoxy base coats Use before Flake or Quartz Systems to improve adhesion Can be used as a standalone coating in light duty applications This is not just a primer. It is the foundation that determines how well your entire system performs. Mixing and Application Instructions Step 1 Pre Mix Because this is a water based product, settlement is normal and expected. Blend the bucket of BASE (Part A) for 1 minute before pouring into a larger bucket and combining with activator. Step 2 The Blend For 1 Gallon Kits: Pour Part A and Part B into a larger mixing bucket and blend for 2 minutes using a paddle mixer. For 2 or More Gallons: When mixing multiple kits together (up to 4 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket), you must use a Box Mixer and blend for 2 - 3 minutes to ensure a complete chemical reaction. Step 3 Application Pour the mixed material directly onto the floor. While wearing spiked shoes, spread the material evenly using a flat squeegee. Small Projects: You may utilize a paint tray and dip and roll using a 1/4” nap epoxy roller (ensure the roller is de-shedded prior to use). To avoid roller lines, you may backroll the floor before the product becomes tacky. Coverage and Technical Specs All SFPG dependent upon porosity of the concrete: Primer on Porous Concrete: 200 to 250 SFPG Grind and Seal Base Coat: 200 to 250 SFPG Grind and Seal Body Coat: 150 to 200 SFPG Light Duty DIY Garage Floor (Needs Pigment and Two Layers): 150 to 175 SFPG Concrete Sealer / Dust Proofing: 200 to 250 SFPG Densifier Application: When applying to very soft or weak concrete, add 10% water to the first coat and apply as a densifier. The material should be applied to saturate the surface and allow for proper penetration into the concrete. Coverage rates for this application will vary depending on the condition and porosity of the concrete. Once the densified layer has dried, apply a second full strength coat without dilution. This exception applies only when using the product as a densifier and does not apply to standard primer or coating applications. Application Temp: Best if applied between 55 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cure Schedule and Recoating Tack Free / Foot Traffic: 12 Hours Recoat Window: 24 Hours Heavy Foot Traffic: 48 Hours Vehicular Traffic: 72 Hours (3 Days) When To Sand For Additional Coats: A second coat may be applied within the 24 hour recoat window without sanding. If more than 24 hours have passed since the previous application, sanding is required. Sand the surface using a 100 to 120 mesh sanding screen, then vacuum and wipe the surface with denatured alcohol or acetone to achieve a proper mechanical bond before applying the next coat. Frequently Asked Questions Can I add a little water to make the primer spread further?No. You should not thin to expand coverage rate. Thinning disrupts the chemical bond and will result in a weak coat. The only exception is adding 10% water when using the product strictly as a densifier for very soft, crumbly concrete. Why do I have to sand before applying my metallic or topcoat?Sanding creates a mechanical profile or "teeth" for the next layer to grab onto. Skipping this step leads to poor adhesion and potential delamination. Which mixer should I use?For single gallon kits, a standard paddle mixer is fine. For anything 2 gallons or larger, a Box Mixer is required to ensure the Part A and Part B are fully integrated without trapping excessive air. Do I need a primer before epoxy?Yes. A primer improves adhesion, seals concrete pores to reduce outgassing, and helps prevent bubbles in your high build layers. Can I use this under metallic epoxy?Yes. This is one of the best applications for this product as it ensures the Metallic Dream layer goes down over a sealed surface, preventing bubbles from ruining the finish. Is this a high build coating?No. Water based epoxy is typically used as a primer or light duty coating, not as a high build system. Can this be used as a final coat?Yes, in light duty environments such as storage areas or mechanical rooms. What happens if I skip sanding between coats?Skipping sanding can lead to poor adhesion and potential delamination between layers of the flooring system.

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.

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.

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.

Premera FP1 Fusion Primer Premera FP1 Fusion Primer is a cutting-edge, fast-drying nano-adhesive primer designed to bond seamlessly to nearly any contaminate-free hard surface. Its unique formulation creates a molecular bridge between coatings and substrates, allowing coatings that would typically struggle to adhere to form a strong, durable bond. This molecular bonding eliminates the need for time-consuming sanding or mechanical abrasion, drastically streamlining your application process and reducing preparation time. Why Premera FP1 Can Replace Mechanical Abrasion: Traditionally, surface preparation requires mechanical abrasion like sanding or grinding to roughen the surface, ensuring that the new coating can properly bond. Premera FP1 Fusion Primer uses advanced nanotechnology to form covalent bonds at the molecular level.
