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: If pinholes appear during application, allow sufficient time to go back and burst them by rolling back and forth or with another squeegee pass. For extremely porous slabs, sand and plug persistent pinholes with epoxy gel after the first coat has cured. Frequently Asked Questions Is LABPOX 35 good for oil contaminated floors?Yes. It is considered best in class for resistance to oil and other contaminants that typically cause fisheyes or adhesion failure in standard epoxies. Can this be used as a self priming coat?Yes. LABPOX 35 is self priming and specifically designed to penetrate porous concrete slabs to reduce outgassing. Is this product beginner friendly?While it offers a comfortable 45 minute working time, proper mechanical surface preparation (CSP 2) and moisture testing are strictly required for a professional grade installation. How do I handle very porous concrete?On very porous slabs, use a tight squeegee with no back roll for the first coat to properly seal the surface before applying the body coat. What is the mix ratio for LABPOX 35?It is a two component system with a precise mix ratio of 2 Parts A to 1 Part B (2A:1B) by volume. Does this epoxy amber or yellow?Like most 100 percent solids epoxies, it is not UV stable. For maximum UV protection and to slow yellowing, a topcoat like LABFAST or AQUALAB PUR is strongly recommended. How soon can I walk on the floor?The floor can typically accept foot traffic in 24 hours, but full chemical cure takes 7 days. Do not clean the surface with water or chemicals during the first week. Is this product safe for interior use?Yes. LABPOX 35 is 100 percent solids and VOC free, making it virtually odor free and suitable for interior manufacturing, commercial, or residential projects.
LABPOX 40 UV 3 Gallon Kit featuring a 2 gallon Part A white bucket and a 1 gallon Part B black bucket. High-clarity, UV-resistant 100% solids epoxy designed for metallic and decorative floor coatings.
LABPOX 40 UV Resistant Epoxy ... from $175.00
LABPOX 40 UV | UV Resistant Epoxy for Metallic and Decorative Floors - 3 Gallon Kit   LABPOX 40 UV is a premium, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy system engineered specifically for metallic and high end decorative flooring. Unlike standard epoxies that can "amber" or yellow quickly, this system offers superior UV resistance and crystal clarity, making it one of the most trusted options for light colored systems and metallic applications. This product is the preferred choice for installers who require an extended 60 minute working time. This generous window allows for the proper manipulation of metallic pigments, ensuring deep flow and consistent "lava" effects that cheaper, fast setting epoxies simply cannot achieve. This is a world class decorative epoxy designed for appearance driven floors where flow, clarity, and color stability are the only things that matter. Where LABPOX 40 UV Fits in Your System Metallic Body Coat: The primary layer for high end decorative metallic floors. Light Color Systems: Ideal for white or light gray floors requiring improved UV stability. High Build Clear Coat: Used as a thick, clear layer over decorative art or logos. Pro Note: While LABPOX 40 UV is incredibly durable, it is an epoxy. To achieve the ultimate glass like super high gloss finish and provide your floor with maximum scratch resistance, we recommend pairing this system with Premera T2. Key Features and Benefits Extended 60 Minute Pot Life: Plenty of time to guide pigments and eliminate roller marks. Superior UV Resistance: Significantly higher resistance to yellowing compared to industrial epoxies. Excellent Defoaming: Engineered to release air naturally, even at high build (30-50 mil) applications. High Clarity Finish: Transparent enough to allow metallic pigments to "pop" with three dimensional depth. Blush & Fisheye Resistant: Formulated to resist surface defects caused by humidity or substrate inconsistencies. Mixing Instructions Precision in the mixing process is critical to ensure the chemical bond and structural integrity of the LABPOX 40 UV 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. Mix partial kits with a Paddle Mixer.  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: Pour the material onto the floor immediately after mixing. Leaving 100% solids epoxy in the bucket will cause it to exotherm (heat up) and ruin your working time. Application Guidelines To achieve the signature depth of a metallic floor, LABPOX 40 UV must be applied at a much higher film build than standard coatings. Metallic Movement: Apply at a thickness of 30 to 50 mils. This high build volume allows the metallic pigments to stay suspended so they can move naturally and create depth during the cure. Design Technique: Use an 18 Inch Magic Trowel to guide the pigments into your chosen pattern. Contamination Warning: Ensure the job site is a clean environment. Avoid sweat, water, aerosols, or air movement near the wet floor. ⚠️ Metallic Epoxy Installation Tip: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Additionally, ensure all HVAC vents are directed away from the floor and turn off all fans. Moving air will cause the epoxy to skin over before it has a chance to properly lay down, ruining the metallic flow and leaving surface ripples. Coverage and Cure Schedule Application Type Approx. Coverage Metallic Body Coat (High Depth) 50 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Solid Color / Base Coat 133 – 150 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Super Opaque White 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Working Time: 60 Minutes Tack Free: 9 Hours Recoat Window: 9 to 24 Hours Full Cure: 7 Days Frequently Asked Questions Is LABPOX 40 UV truly UV stable?It is one of the most UV resistant epoxies on the market, but it is still an epoxy. Over several years of exposure to direct sunlight, it will eventually amber. For permanent UV protection, always topcoat with Premera T2. Why is the 60 minute working time important?Metallic floors require manipulation with a Magic Trowel to look their best. Standard epoxies set up too fast, leaving you with harsh lines or flat spots. The 60 minute window allows the pigments to flow and create that 3D depth. Can I use this for a solid color floor?Yes. It is an excellent choice for light colored solid floors because of its improved color stability and clarity. What causes fisheyes in my metallic floor?Fisheyes are almost always caused by surface contaminants. Avoid using aerosol sprays or air fresheners in the building, and ensure the installer does not drip sweat into the wet material. Do I need to sand before topcoating?If you topcoat within 24 hours, you can go right over it. If you wait longer than 24 hours, you must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure the topcoat bonds properly. What is the best way to clean the floor before applying LABPOX 40 UV?After mechanical grinding, you must vacuum the floor thoroughly. We recommend a solvent wipe with Acetone to ensure no fine dust remains, as dust can cause surface profile issues in high build coatings. Can I apply this over a moisture vapor barrier?Yes. LABPOX 40 UV works perfectly over a moisture barrier. Labpox MVB FAST – 100% Solids Epoxy Moisture Vapor Barrier to prevent the metallic finish from bubbling or delaminating. What happens if a fan is blowing on the project while it cures?Moving air will blow contaminants on to your wet surface and this can be catastrophic. Wind can also cause the surface to skin over prematurely. This prevents the epoxy from laying down properly and stops the metallic pigments from moving, which will leave you with an uneven, wavy finish. Can I use a torch to remove bubbles?Yes, a light pass with a propane torch or a spike roller can help release surface bubbles. However, because LABPOX 40 UV has excellent air release properties, you will find you need to do this much less than with standard resins. How do I achieve the best three dimensional depth?Apply the material at a minimum of 50 SFPG. The thicker the application, the more room the metallic pigments have to sink and swirl, creating that signature glass like depth and movement.

Excellent Defoaming: Formulated to release air naturally, even when applied at heavy 50 mil thicknesses. High Resistance to Contamination: Specifically designed to resist fisheyes and surface defects. Mixing Instructions Because of the extended pot life, proper mixing is vital to ensure the cycloaliphatic resins activate fully. Pre Mix Part A: Mechanically mix Part A for 1 minute before combining to ensure all resins are homogeneous. Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A with 1 part Part B in the larger bucket. Mix Time: Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300 to 450 RPM). Technique: Scrape the sides and bottom of the container thoroughly. For best results, use a box or cage mixer. Immediate Placement: Even with a long working time, the material should be poured onto the floor in ribbons immediately after mixing to prevent heat build up in the pail. Pro Note: To achieve the ultimate glass like finish and maximum scratch resistance, we recommend pairing this system with Premera T2 once the epoxy has reached its recoat window. Application Guidelines To achieve the signature depth of a 3D floor, LABPOX LV 3D UV must be applied at a high build to allow the low viscosity resin to flow and carry the pigments. Design Depth: Apply at a maximum 50 square feet per gallon. This provides a thickness of roughly 30 to 32 mils, allowing pigments to sink and swirl for maximum visual impact. Technique: Use a squeegee to spread the material, followed by an 18 Inch Magic Trowel to manipulate the metallic design. Ideal Conditions: Best results are achieved when the floor and air temperature are between 60°F and 85°F. Avoid high humidity (above 85%) during the application. ⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on sunbaked surfaces. Ensure all HVAC vents are directed away from the floor and turn off all fans. Moving air will cause the epoxy to skin over prematurely, which ruins the self leveling and stops the metallic movement.

Working Time: 90 to 100 Minutes Tack Free: 14 Hours Recoat Window: 14 to 24 Hours Light Foot Traffic: 48 Hours Full Cure: 7 Days Frequently Asked Questions What makes the 3D UV version different from standard metallic epoxy?It features ultra low viscosity (300 cps) and a 90 to 100 minute working time. This allows the resin to flow more like water, which gives the metallic pigments total freedom to move and create deep visual effects. Does this product resist yellowing?Yes. LABPOX LV 3D UV is formulated with cycloaliphatic polyamine technology, providing some of the best UV resistance in the epoxy category. Why is low viscosity important for metallic floors?Thick epoxies "trap" pigments in place. A low viscosity resin allows the metallic particles to swirl and sink, creating a three dimensional look rather than a flat, painted appearance. Can I use this for a clear topcoat?Yes. Its high clarity and excellent defoaming make it an ideal choice for a clear build coat over decorative designs or logos. How long do I have to wait before walking on the floor?Because of the extended working time and ultra low viscosity, this system takes longer to reach initial hardness than standard epoxies. You should wait at least 48 hours for light foot traffic. For heavy furniture or vehicle traffic, wait a full 72 hours to ensure the resin has reached its full chemical resistance and hardness. Can I mix multiple metallic colors together?Yes. One of the greatest advantages of the ultra low viscosity in LABPOX LV 3D UV is how beautifully it allows different metallic pigments to blend. You can "ribbon" different colors into each other or mist the surface with a secondary color to create natural veining and marble effects that stay fluid longer. Do I need a specific base coat color for metallic epoxy?Yes. Metallic pigments are translucent. To achieve the best results, you should apply a solid color epoxy base coat (like LABPOX 35) first. Black is the most common choice as it makes the metallic colors pop with maximum depth, but lighter base colors can be used to create softer, more subtle finishes. How do I prevent bubbles or "pinholes" in my metallic finish?Because metallic epoxy is applied at a high build, any air escaping from the concrete (outgassing) will be trapped. You must ensure the slab is perfectly sealed with a primer or moisture barrier like MVB FAST before applying your metallic body coat. This ensures the 3D layer stays smooth and glass like. What is the best way to create "cells" or "craters" in the design?If you are looking for specific effects like cells or hammered metal textures, you can lightly mist the surface with 99 percent Isopropyl Alcohol while the epoxy is still in its 90 minute working window. The alcohol breaks the surface tension and causes the metallic pigments to disperse into unique, circular patterns. Can I apply this over a previous coating?Yes, but only if the existing coating is well bonded and has been mechanically sanded to a completely dull finish. If there is any gloss remaining, the new metallic layer will not bond properly. Always perform a small test area to ensure compatibility between different resin systems. What happens if the material starts to heat up in the bucket?This is known as an exotherm reaction. If the mixed material sits in the pail too long, it will begin to smoke or harden rapidly. If you feel the bucket getting hot, STOP RIGHT THERE! It's ruined. You've left it in the bucket too long and you'll create all kinds of cleanup challenges if you dump that on the floor.

Maximum depth decorative effects Frequently Asked Questions What makes LABPOX LV UV different from standard epoxy?Its ultra low viscosity and extremely long working time give installers much greater control over flow, pigment movement, and final appearance. It allows the resin to self level more effectively than thicker industrial epoxies. Is this a good epoxy for metallic floors?Yes. This is one of the best choices for metallic floors that require depth, clarity, and an extended window to manipulate designs. How long is the working time?You typically have 90 to 100 minutes depending on temperature and site conditions. This is nearly double the working time of standard epoxies. Is this product UV stable?It offers enhanced UV resistance compared to standard epoxy systems. While all epoxy will eventually amber if exposed to direct sunlight, this cycloaliphatic formulation provides superior color stability for decorative metallic floors. Why is this better for metallic floors than standard resins?Standard epoxies are too thick and set up too fast, which freezes the metallic pigments in place. LABPOX LV UV has an ultra low viscosity that allows pigments to flow and swirl for the entire 100 minute working window, creating a natural three dimensional look. What is the best tool for applying LABPOX LV UV?For metallic designs, a Magic Trowel is essential for laying out your metallic design. For applications where high build depth is required, use a 24 inch red rubber 3/16 inch notched squeegee and if necessary an 18 inch Mohair or Microfiber Roller Cover to completely cover the floor. Do I need to sand before applying a second coat?If you apply the next coat within 24 hours, no sanding is needed. After 24 hours, you must sand the surface to a dull finish to ensure a mechanical bond. Can I use this for heavy duty industrial floors?This product is best suited for residential and commercial decorative systems. For heavy industrial production floors with high forklift traffic, we recommend our industrial grade solids like LABPOX 30. What happens if the material gets hot in the bucket?This is an exotherm reaction. If the bucket feels hot, do not pour it on the floor. The material is beginning to cure rapidly and pouring it will result in surface defects and a failed installation. Is it safe for indoor use?Yes. LABPOX LV UV is 100 percent solids and low VOC. It has very low odor, making it safe for use in occupied buildings and retail spaces.

LABPOX MVB FAST 3-Gallon Kit (Part A & B) 100% solids epoxy moisture vapor barrier for damp concrete and high RH slabs.
LABPOX MVB FAST | 100% Solids... from $220.00
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.
