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 pre pigmented 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.

150 Fast Cure 100% Solids Epoxy | Primer, Base Coat & MVB One Stop Epoxy 150 Fast Cure (150FC) is a contractor grade, rapid-curing 100% solids epoxy engineered specifically for high-efficiency broadcast systems. This versatile resin functions as a primer, base coat, and Moisture Vapor Barrier (MVB) in a single application, allowing crews to complete full flake, quartz, and sand broadcast floors in a fraction of the time. Designed for one day floor installations, 150FC performs exceptionally well in hot and humid environments, offering a rapid return to service without the "flash cure" risks of inferior fast-setting epoxies. The 150FC Technical Advantage 3-in-1 System: Acts as a high-strength primer, pigmented base coat, and MVB rated up to 12 lbs. 90-Minute Recoat: Fast cure profile allows for scraping and top coating in as little as 90 minutes. Extended Working Time: Provides 20 to 30 minutes of open time on the floor nearly double that of traditional rapid cure epoxies. UV Considerations: Engineered for full broadcast systems (flake, quartz, sand) where the epoxy is fully covered to prevent visible ambering. Best Uses for Fast Cure Epoxy One Day Flake Floors: The industry standard for rapid garage and commercial prep. Sand & Quartz Broadcasts: Ideal for industrial non-slip systems requiring fast turnaround. Humid Climates: Specifically formulated to remain manageable in high-humidity markets like Florida. Mixing and Application (Critical for Success) Pro Warning: 150FC is for experienced installers. It requires mechanical surface prep (CSP 2-3) and must be poured in ribbons immediately after mixing to avoid exotherm in the bucket. Mix Ratio: 2 Parts A to 1 Part B. Mix Time: 2 minutes if above 75°F; 3 minutes if below 75°F. Mixer: Use a box or cage style mixer for full kits. Working Time: 20–30 minutes depending on ambient temperature. Frequently Asked Questions Is this a good epoxy for garage floors?Yes. It is the preferred base coat for professional installers performing one day full flake garage floor installations. What makes 150FC different from other fast cure epoxies?150FC includes a built-in moisture vapor barrier (up to 12 lbs) and offers significantly more working time on the floor than standard rapid-set resins. Can I use this for a one day flake floor?Yes. This is the primary use for 150FC. Its fast cure profile allows you to prep, base, flake, and topcoat in a single shift. Why can’t this be used for solid color floors?Because 150FC is a fast-cure aromatic epoxy, it will amber under UV exposure. It must be used in a broadcast system where it is completely covered by flakes, sand, or quartz. Is this product beginner friendly?No. 150FC is designed for experienced contractors who understand how to manage fast-curing materials and jobsite pacing. Does this replace a moisture vapor barrier?Yes. It is rated to block moisture vapor transmission up to 12 lbs, eliminating the need for a separate MVB primer step. How long does 150FC take to dry before I can topcoat?Depending on temperature and humidity, you can typically sweep, vacuum, and topcoat in as little as 90 minutes. What is the working time for this fast cure epoxy?Depending on temperature, you will have between 20 and 30 minutes of working time once the material is poured onto the floor. Can 150FC be used outdoors?Yes, provided it is part of a full broadcast system where the epoxy is entirely covered and protected from UV exposure. Do I need to add solvent to thin this product?No. This is a true 100% solids epoxy. Adding solvents will compromise the cure and the moisture vapor barrier rating.

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 Contractor 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.

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.

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.

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 1 - 1.5 gallons at a time into an 18 inch paint tray. While wearing spiked shoes and using a 1/4 or 3/8” nap epoxy roller (ensure the roller is de-shedded prior to use), load your roller and cover an area 4 ' x 4' rolling out the material in a "M" pattern left to right, then a "W" pattern right to left, leaving no roller lines behind. For large areas Multiple people should work this pattern loading the floor as one "Finisher" walks side to side back rolling the material over lapping by 2 inches with each pass. Do not wait to back roll as the product can tack over quickly and roller pickup may occur Small Projects: You may utilize a paint tray and dip and roll using a 1/4 or 3/8” 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. The "Orange Peel" Mitigation Tip To achieve a professional, smooth finish and eliminate the "orange peel" texture typical of standard urethanes, add 12 ounces of water per kit into the initial mix. This improves the flow and leveling characteristics, resulting in a significantly smoother, more consistent surface reflection. ⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on sunbaked surfaces. Additionally, do not apply with air blowing directly on the floor from fans or HVAC systems. Moving air will cause the coating to skin over before it has a chance to properly lay down, leading to permanent surface defects.

After 24 hours, you must sand the surface with 100-120 grit to create a mechanical bond before applying additional coats. Frequently Asked Questions Will I get roller lines if I use this urethane topcoat?Roller lines are almost always a result of improper application technique. To ensure a uniform finish, it is critical to use an 18-inch roller for your main floor area. This provides equal down pressure across the entire surface, preventing the "squeeze lines" commonly caused by 9-inch roller frames. Use a 9-inch roller only for detail work along the edges. Do I need a primer if I am doing a "Grind and Seal" directly on concrete?If you apply urethane directly to raw concrete, expect to apply multiple layers as the porous slab will "drink" the material. To prevent an uneven finish and save on material costs, we highly recommend first applying our One Stop WB Primer. This seals the concrete and provides a consistent foundation for the urethane. How do I stop my urethane from having an orange peel texture?Standard urethanes are thick. By adding 12 ounces of water to your mixed kit, the product thins just enough to level out perfectly, eliminating almost all orange peel characteristics for a much smoother finish. Is this product suitable for a warehouse with forklifts?While this urethane is very scratch resistant, it is designed for foot traffic and light vehicular use. For industrial environments with constant forklift traffic, our Labfender Polyurethane is the recommended system. Why is sanding required after 24 hours?After 24 hours, the surface becomes too smooth for a chemical bond. Sanding creates a mechanical profile that allows the new layer to anchor securely to the previous one. Can this be used for outdoor concrete?No. This is an interior topcoat. For exterior patios or driveways, use a specialized exterior-grade breathable sealer designed to handle moisture movement through the slab. Can I apply this over a previous coating?The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and mechanically sanded to ensure a proper bond. Applying over an old coating without proper mechanical preparation will likely result in delamination. What is the effect of high humidity on application?Humidity above 75% can slow the evaporation of water from the coating, which may cause a cloudy or "milky" finish. It is best to maintain a controlled interior environment during the cure.

High Performance Countertop and Tabletop Epoxy Resin One Stop Epoxy Countertop and Tabletop Epoxy is a professional grade, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy resin system. Engineered specifically for clear flood coats on countertops, bar tops, and custom furniture, this system delivers the high-build, glass-like depth that customers expect from a premium decorative surface. Unlike standard floor coatings, this resin is a controlled-pour epoxy designed for horizontal surfaces where clarity, air release, and finish quality are the primary focus. It is VOC-free, making it ideal for indoor residential and commercial woodworking or remodeling projects. This product is intended for countertops and decorative pours. For floor systems, please see our 100% Solids Floor Epoxy and Flooring Systems. Where This Product Excels Kitchen and bathroom countertop resurfacing Live-edge tabletops and furniture Commercial bar tops and restaurant surfaces Sealing woodworking and custom art projects Decorative resin "river" pours (up to 1/8" per lift) Key Features and Benefits 100% Solids Formula – Zero shrinkage and zero VOCs for safe interior use. Superior Air Release – Formulated to release bubbles naturally when applied over sealed surfaces. High Clarity – Provides a deep, crystal-clear finish that enhances wood grain and pigments. Blush-Free Cure – Consistent finish that resists "clouding" common in lower-grade resins. Scratch & Stain Resistant – Durable enough for daily residential and commercial use. Mixing and Application Instructions The Golden Rule of Countertops: Always apply a thin "Seal Coat" of epoxy using a brush or squeegee before your main flood coat. This seals the pores of the wood or concrete and prevents air from escaping (off-gassing) into your final finish. Mixing This is a 2 to 1 mix ratio consisting of two parts resin to one part hardener. Mix using a drill mixer at low speed for 2 to 3 minutes. 1 Gallon Paddle Mixer: For partial kits 5 Gallon Paddle Mixer: For full kits It is critical to scrape the sides and bottom of the bucket during mixing. Avoid whipping the material, as this introduces unnecessary air into the resin. Application Pour the material as a flood coat at approximately 30 to 40 square feet per gallon, depending on the desired build. Allow the material to lay down naturally. You may use a 12-Inch Magic Trowel or a 4-Inch Roller for edge work to guide the epoxy, but it is engineered to flow into a smooth, seamless surface on its own. ⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: Do not apply in direct sunlight or on sunbaked surfaces. Additionally, do not apply with air blowing directly on the surface from fans or HVAC systems. Moving air will cause the coating to skin over before it has a chance to properly lay down, leading to permanent surface defects. Coverage and Cure Times Application Step Thickness Approx. Coverage Standard Flood Coat 1/8 Inch 12 – 16 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Seal Coat (Porous Surfaces) Thin Film 30 – 40 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Working Time: 30 to 45 minutes (depending on temp) Tack Free: 8 to 12 hours Light Use: 24 hours Full Cure: 72 hours Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to torch this epoxy to remove bubbles?When applied over a properly sealed surface, this system is formulated for excellent air release. While a quick pass with a torch or heat gun can help pop surface bubbles, it is not always necessary if the seal coat was done correctly. Can I pour this thicker than 1/8 inch at a time?This product is a "Flood Coat" epoxy. Pouring thicker than 1/8" can cause the material to overheat (exotherm), resulting in yellowing, ripples, or cracks. Can I use this for my garage floor?Technically yes, but this product is designed for countertops and decorative pours, not floor systems. For garage floors, please see our 100% solids floor epoxy line or visit our Flooring Systems Page. What happens if a fan is blowing on the project while it cures?Moving air causes the surface to "skin over" prematurely. This prevents the epoxy from laying down properly, which will leave you with an uneven, wavy finish. Is this beginner friendly?Yes. The 2:1 ratio is very forgiving and the extended working time allows beginners to guide the material using a Magic Trowel or 4-inch roller without the stress of a fast-setting cure. Do I have to sand between coats?If you apply your second coat within 12–24 hours, no sanding is required. After 24 hours, you must lightly sand the surface with 220 grit to ensure a mechanical bond. Why is the seal coat so important?Bubbles usually come from air escaping a porous surface (like wood or concrete). A thin seal coat locks that air in the surface so it can't ruin your final flood coat. Is this epoxy food safe?Once fully cured, 100% solids epoxy is generally considered inert and suitable for incidental food contact, making it a strong choice for kitchen counters and dining tables.

LABPOX 35 | 100% Solids Epoxy for Porous Concrete and Pinhole Control LABPOX 35 is a professional grade, 100% solids, 2 to 1 epoxy system engineered specifically for porous concrete and challenging substrates. Where standard epoxies might struggle with pinholes and outgassing, LABPOX 35 is designed to seal the slab and provide a consistent foundation for your decorative or protective system. This product is the industry preferred choice for use as a base coat or receiver coat on inconsistent slabs. Whether you are installing a high end metallic floor or a heavy duty flake system, LABPOX 35 solves surface problems before they can affect your final finish quality. If you are dealing with porous concrete, pinholes, or "thirsty" slabs, this is the highest-performing epoxy solution in the One Stop lineup. Surface Preparation Requirements Proper surface preparation is critical to the performance of LABPOX 35. Failure to prepare the substrate correctly will result in poor adhesion and surface defects. Mechanical Preparation: Surface must be mechanically prepared (grinding or shot-blasting) to a minimum CSP-2 profile. All pores must be open to allow proper penetration. Clean Surface: Concrete must be clean, dry, and free of grease, oil, paint, or curing agents. Concrete Cure Time: New concrete must cure for a minimum of 28 days. Moisture Testing: Moisture content must be below 4%. Test multiple areas of the slab before application. Fiber Reinforced Concrete: All exposed fibers must be completely removed (burnt or ground) prior to coating to prevent voids. Repair: Significant voids or cracks should be addressed prior to coating to ensure a seamless finish. Mixing Instructions Proper mixing is critical to the performance of LABPOX 35, especially when working with porous concrete. Pre Mix Part A: Mechanically mix Part A in its original container for at least 1 minute to ensure all solids and pigments are fully suspended. Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A with 1 part Part B in a clean mixing container. Mix Time: Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill and a Box mixer at 300 to 450 RPM. Technique: Scrape the sides and bottom of the container to ensure a completely uniform mixture. Immediate Placement: Once mixed, the material must be immediately poured onto the floor in ribbons. Leaving material in the bucket will cause it to heat up (exotherm) and drastically reduce working time. Application To ensure equal down pressure and a uniform profile, apply using an 24-inch 3/16th inch notched squeegee and an 18" X 3/8" nap roller. Use a 9-inch roller only for detail edge work. This technique ensures the material can properly lay down and seal the slab. Recoat and Sanding Requirements Timing is critical to ensuring a chemical bond between layers. Follow these guidelines for a professional finish: Within 24 Hours: A second coat may be applied without the need for sanding. After 24 Hours: The surface must be mechanically sanded to achieve a uniform dull finish. All gloss must be removed to ensure a proper mechanical bond. Cleaning: After sanding, vacuum all dust and wipe the surface with denatured alcohol. The surface must be completely clean and dry before applying the next coat. Coverage Rates Application Type Approx. Coverage Flake Receiver Coat 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Commercial/Industrial (Smooth) 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon Metallic Base Coat 80 – 100 Sq. Ft. Per Gallon *This is a very heavy duty high strength commercial grade epoxy that is applied thick. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and mechanical profile (CSP) of the concrete. Frequently Asked Questions When should I use LABPOX 35 instead of LABPOX 30?Use LABPOX 35 when working with porous concrete or when pinholes are a concern. It is formulated to bridge those gaps. LABPOX 30 is typically used for smoother surfaces or as a build coat. Do I really have to sand after 24 hours?Yes. After 24 hours, the epoxy cures to a hard, glossy finish that new layers cannot "stick" to chemically. Sanding creates a mechanical "tooth" that allows the next layer to bond securely. Can I use this as a standalone coating?Absolutely. LABPOX 35 is a high performance 100% solids epoxy that can be used as a standalone system in industrial or commercial environments where UV stability isn't the primary concern. Does this help prevent pinholes?Yes. This product is specifically formulated to reduce pinholes caused by air release in porous concrete, provided the slab has been properly prepared to a CSP-2 profile. What happens if I leave the mixed material in the bucket?Because this is a 100% solids system, it generates heat (exotherm). If left in the bucket, it will cure rapidly often in minutes and can become hot enough to melt the plastic or smoke. Always pour in ribbons immediately. Can I apply this over a previous coating?Only if the previous coating is well bonded and has been mechanically sanded to a completely dull finish. We always recommend testing a small area for compatibility first. Why is 28 days required for new concrete?New concrete holds a high amount of moisture. Coating too early traps that moisture, which leads to hydrostatic pressure that can blow the epoxy right off the slab. Is an 18-inch roller mandatory?While not "mandatory," it is the professional standard. An 18-inch roller provides more uniform down pressure, which is essential for forcing the epoxy into the pores of the concrete to stop outgassing.

LABPOX 40 UV | UV Resistant Epoxy for Metallic and Decorative Floors 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 mixing is what separates a professional metallic floor from a failure. Pre-Mix Part A: Mechanically mix Part A in its original container for 1 minute before combining. This ensures the UV inhibitors and resins are perfectly blended. Mix Ratio: Combine 2 parts Part A (Base) with 1 part Part B (Activator). Mix Time: Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300 to 450 RPM). Mixer Choice: For full kits, use a box or cage mixer. For partial kits (2 gallons or less), a standard paddle mixer is acceptable. 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. ⚠️ ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING: 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.
