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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
