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 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. 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.

Metallic Dream Epoxy | Premium Designer Metallic Resin Metallic Dream Epoxy is a professional grade, 100% solids epoxy system engineered specifically for high-end metallic floor applications. Unlike standard resins, this is a design driven system that provides the extended open time necessary to create one of a kind floors with incredible depth, flowing movement, and a mirror-like high gloss finish. Used in residential living spaces, showrooms, and retail environments, Metallic Dream delivers the perfect balance of workability, artistic control, and visual impact. The Metallic Dream Advantage: 60 Minutes of Control Metallic epoxy is an art form, and art takes time. Most failures occur when the resin "locks up" too quickly, leaving harsh roller marks and stagnant patterns. Metallic Dream Epoxy is formulated to stay fluid for up to 60 minutes, allowing installers to: Manipulate Movement: Soften and blend colors using a Magic Trowel without the resin tacking up. Minimize Bubbles: Extended leveling time allows air to escape more efficiently. Achieve 3D Depth: High-build, 100% solids chemistry creates the "thick" look that makes metallic pigments pop. The Professional System Build The Foundation: Concrete must be mechanically ground. For porous slabs, use our Water Based Epoxy Primer to prevent outgassing. The Base Coat: Apply a solid pigmented base using our 100% Solids Self Leveling Epoxy. Black is the industry standard for maximum contrast. The Money Coat: Apply Metallic Dream mixed with your chosen pigments. Manipulate the surface with an 18-inch Magic Trowel for an organic, marble-like flow. The Shield: Finish with Premera T2 Topcoat for elite scratch resistance that preserves the high gloss shine. Mixing and Application Guidelines Pro Tip: Never "whip" the product. Mixing at high speeds traps micro-bubbles in the resin that can ruin a glass-finish floor. Use a low-speed paddle mixer and ensure pigments are fully dispersed before pouring. Coverage: Approximately 150 sq. ft. per kit (50 sq. ft. per gallon for proper flow). Mix Speed: Keep drill under 300 RPM. Working Time: Up to 60 minutes on the floor. Frequently Asked Questions Is metallic epoxy durable?Yes. When protected with a high-performance topcoat like Premera T2, metallic floors are highly durable and suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial interiors. Do I need to use a black base coat?Black is the preferred base because it acts as a "canvas" that makes metallic colors appear more vibrant and 3-dimensional. However, other colors can be used for custom aesthetic effects. Is every metallic floor different?Yes. Because the epoxy shifts and levels as it cures, no two floors can ever be identical. Each installation is a unique piece of custom art. Can I use multiple metallic colors?Absolutely. Professionals often use a primary color and 1-2 accent colors to create dynamic, marble-like movement and visual interest. Is this system beginner friendly?No. Metallic epoxy requires a deep understanding of timing and flow. We recommend practicing on sample boards before attempting a full-scale floor. How much working time do I have?Metallic Dream provides up to 60 minutes of open time, giving you the longest window in the industry to manipulate your design. What topcoat should I use?We highly recommend Nukote Premera T2 Topcoat Gloss. High-gloss floors show scratches easily; Premera T2 provides a glass-hard shield that protects the aesthetic.

Self Leveling 100% Solids Industrial Grade Epoxy One Stop Epoxy Self Leveling 100% Solids Industrial Grade Epoxy is a professional grade, high build floor coating engineered for extreme durability in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. This self leveling resin creates a seamless, high gloss surface with superior adhesion and the chemical resistance required for long term performance. Sold as a 3 gallon short fill kit, this system arrives clear or pre pigmented in white, light gray, medium gray, black, or tan to save you time and eliminate mixing errors on the jobsite. What Is a 100% Solids Industrial Epoxy? Unlike water based or solvent based store coatings, a 100% solids epoxy contains no fillers that evaporate during the curing process. This means the thickness you apply wet is exactly the thickness that remains when dry. This "high build" characteristic is what allows the material to self level, filling minor imperfections in the concrete to create a heavy duty finish. Why Professionals Choose Pre Pigmented Short Fill Kits Eliminate Mixing Errors: No separate pigment packs to measure; the color is already balanced in the resin. In-Bucket Mixing: The "short fill" design allows you to add Part B directly into the Part A bucket, saving you the cost of extra mixing pails. Consistency: Ensures perfect color uniformity across large multi kit pours. Versatility: Use as a standalone solid color floor, a receiver coat for flakes, or a structural base for metallic designs. Mixing and Application Requirements Mix Ratio: 2 Parts A to 1 Part B. Mix Time: 3 Full Minutes at 300 to 450 RPM. Working Time: 45 Minutes on the floor (8 minutes if left in the bucket). Traffic Ready: 24 Hours for foot traffic; 7 days for full chemical cure. Frequently Asked Questions Is this a true 100 percent solids epoxy?Yes. This is a true 100 percent solids industrial resin containing no water or solvents. The thickness you apply wet is the thickness that remains after cure. Is this a good epoxy for garage floors?Yes. It is the gold standard for garage floor coatings because it provides the high build and chemical resistance needed to withstand hot tires and automotive fluids. Does this come pre pigmented?Yes. Our short fill kits arrive pre pigmented in White, Black, Light Gray, Med Gray, and Tan, ensuring color consistency and ease of use. Do I need a separate mixing bucket?No. The short fill design allows you to pour Part B directly into the Part A bucket for convenient mixing. How long should I mix the epoxy?Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill and a cage style mixer to ensure a complete chemical crosslink. What is the working time once mixed?Once poured onto the floor, you have approximately 45 minutes at 75 degrees. If left in the bucket, the material can harden in less than 10 minutes (exotherm). Can this be used for a full flake floor?Yes. It is an excellent pigmented receiver coat for vinyl flakes. For a pro finish, topcoat with PolyGloss 85 Polyaspartic after scraping the flakes. Does surface prep matter with self leveling epoxy?Absolutely. Proper mechanical grinding to a CSP 2 or 3 profile is required for a permanent bond. Self leveling refers to the finish, not prep. Can I use this as a base for metallic floors?Yes. It provides a stable, uniform pigmented foundation for Metallic Dream Epoxy body coats. How many square feet does a kit cover?A 3 gallon kit typically covers 400 to 450 square feet as a receiver coat for flakes or 300 to 400 square feet for a high build solid color finish.
