Poly Gloss 85 Polyaspartic | High Gloss Topcoat System
Poly Gloss 85 is a professional grade, 85% solids polyaspartic topcoat designed for epoxy flooring systems that require high gloss, durability, and fast return to service. This two component 1:1 system delivers excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and long term performance in both residential and commercial environments.
This product is intended for professional use only. Polyaspartic coatings require proper mixing, timing, and application technique to achieve the desired results. It is built for experienced installers who need consistent results, longer working time, and a finish that holds up under real world use.
Important Notice: Poly Gloss 85 Regular is NOT recommended for metallic epoxy floors. Because of its faster cure profile, standard polyaspartic orange peel texture will be evident. For metallic systems that require extended working time and a smoother, glass like finish, you must use Poly Gloss 85 Slow Go.
This product is most commonly used as the final seal coat for full flake, quartz, and solid color epoxy flooring systems. It can also be used as a base coat in applications exposed to direct sunlight where UV stability is required.
Unlike many polyaspartics, Poly Gloss 85 is formulated with no plasticizers. This eliminates tire staining and helps maintain the clean, high gloss appearance of the floor over time.
What Makes Poly Gloss 85 Different
No plasticizers which eliminates tire staining
Minimal elasticity prevents tire and equipment impressions
High gloss finish for maximum visual impact
22 minute working time which is significantly longer than most polyaspartics
UV stable and will not amber
High build capability up to 10 mils without whitening
Fast return to service
Working Time and Application Control
Poly Gloss 85 offers approximately 22 minutes of working time, which is 50 to 100 percent longer than most polyaspartic coatings. This allows installers to maintain control, work larger areas, and achieve a more consistent finish.
For projects that require even more working time, a slower version is available: Poly Gloss 85 Slow Go, which provides 60 to 90 minutes of working time. Poly Gloss 85 Slow Go is an ideal fit for any size metallic floor and larger solid color and light flake floors.
Because of its faster cure profile compared to slower polyaspartic systems, Poly Gloss 85 Regular is best suited for flake, quartz, and solid color floors where speed and durability are the priority.

While modern coatings like Slow Go Polyaspartic and Premera T2 offer advanced speed and clarity, this Water Based Urethane remains the premier choice for occupied residential and commercial spaces where low odor and cost efficiency are the top priorities.
Engineered for installers who need a forgiving application window without the heavy chemical smell typical of high solids polyaspartics, this urethane provides a durable, reliable finish for metallic, solid color, and flake systems. It is the perfect balance for projects that demand a professional interior result on a budget conscious scale.
Choose this topcoat when low odor and application control are paramount for your interior environment.
Where This Product Fits in Your System
This protective finish is designed to lock in your decorative system and provide reliable wear resistance:
Topcoat for Metallic Dream Epoxy
Seal coat for solid color epoxy floors
Topcoat for partial flake systems
Protective finish over 100% solids epoxy
Grind and seal applications directly on concrete
Pro Note: While this urethane is highly durable for standard use, for industrial environments, heavy manufacturing, or areas subject to constant forklift traffic, we recommend the Labfender Polyurethane System.
Mixing and Application Instructions
Step 1 Pre Mix
This product features a 3 to 1 mix ratio (three parts resin to one part catalyst). 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 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.

Sanding Requirements: A second coat may be applied within 24 hours without sanding. 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.

AQUALAB Urethane Pure Gloss / ...
$154.99
AQUALAB Pure Gloss | Water Based Urethane Epoxy Topcoat
Product Overview
AQUALAB Pure Gloss is a high performance, aliphatic water based urethane topcoat engineered to provide a professional grade protective shield over epoxy flooring. This two component (5 to 1) system delivers superior chemical resistance, elite abrasion resistance, and long term UV protection while maintaining a low odor application.
This is the definitive choice for installers who need to protect warehouse and light duty commercial epoxy floors from premature wear, staining, and UV damage.
The Aliphatic Advantage: Why Use a Urethane?
While epoxy provides the structural build and "pop" for decorative floors, it is naturally susceptible to micro scratches and chemical staining. AQUALAB Pure Gloss adds an aliphatic urethane layer that is significantly harder and more resilient than epoxy. This is why most professional systems use a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat instead of leaving epoxy exposed. This results in:
Extreme Scratch Resistance: Drastically reduces the "dulling" effect of foot traffic.
UV Shielding: Unlike standard epoxy, this topcoat will not yellow and helps slow down the ambering of the epoxy layers beneath it.
Stain Protection: Creates a non-porous surface that is much easier to clean and maintain in residential or commercial settings.
Finish Options
Gloss: Delivers a high-shine, glass like finish that maximizes color depth.
Satin: Provides a refined, low-sheen look that hides surface imperfections and dust more effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this better than using epoxy as a topcoat?Yes. Aliphatic urethane topcoats provide significantly better chemical resistance, scratch resistance, and long term cleanability compared to standard epoxy alone.
Does this product yellow?No. AQUALAB is non yellowing and contains UV inhibitors that help protect the underlying epoxy layers from direct sunlight.
Can this be used indoors?Yes. The low odor, water based formulation is specifically designed for interior and occupied environments where solvent smells are not permitted.
How many coats should I apply?We recommend two coats for the best durability and to ensure a perfectly uniform aesthetic finish across the entire floor.
Can this be used over any epoxy?It is designed for use over properly prepared epoxy systems. If you are applying it over a different brand, we recommend a small adhesion test first.
What is the mix ratio?The mix ratio is 5 parts Part A to 1 part Part B. Ensure you mix thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes before application.
What is the coverage rate?Coverage typically ranges from 500 to 600 square feet per kit on smooth surfaces and 400 to 500 square feet on partial flake epoxy floors.
Can I add water to the mixture?No. Do not add water or solvents to the mixture. AQUALAB is formulated to be used exactly as it is packaged.
How soon can I walk on the floor?The floor is typically ready for foot traffic after 24 hours of cure time at standard room temperatures.
What is the best way to apply AQUALAB?Use the "dip and roll" method with a high-quality lint-free roller. This product is designed for dip and roll application rather than ribbon pour methods used with some other coatings.
