LABPOX® FAST CURE – 100% Solids Fast-Curing Epoxy

LABPOX® FAST CURE by Lab Surface is a premium, 100% solids, two-component epoxy coating engineered for fast-curing concrete flooring applications requiring durability, excellent adhesion, and a quick return to service.

Designed primarily as an epoxy base coat for decorative flake flooring systems, LABPOX FAST CURE features a low-viscosity formulation that provides excellent flow and material distribution while helping contractors complete flooring installations more efficiently.

Its advanced Pinhole Mitigation Technology is engineered to significantly reduce pinholes caused by air escaping from porous concrete, helping installers achieve smoother, more consistent finishes with less rework.

LABPOX FAST CURE is self-priming and can be applied directly to properly prepared concrete under suitable conditions. For heavy-duty or high-traffic applications, Lab Surface recommends using a compatible LABPOX epoxy primer before application.

Whether installing residential garage floors, commercial epoxy flooring, or industrial coating systems, LABPOX FAST CURE provides the performance and rapid curing characteristics professional contractors need to maximize productivity.

Application Recommendations

1. Surface Preparation

Proper concrete preparation is essential for successful epoxy flooring installations.

Concrete must be structurally sound, clean, and free from dust, oils, grease, existing contaminants, and materials that could interfere with adhesion.

Mechanically prepare the concrete using appropriate diamond grinding or shot blasting equipment to achieve the concrete surface profile (CSP) specified by the manufacturer.

Repair cracks, joints, and surface imperfections as necessary before coating application.

2. Mixing

LABPOX FAST CURE uses a 2:1 mixing ratio (Part A to Part B).

Combine both components according to the manufacturer’s instructions and mix thoroughly using a low-speed mechanical mixer.

Because this is a fast-curing epoxy, contractors should prepare their tools, materials, and application area before mixing.

3. Application

Apply LABPOX FAST CURE using a compatible squeegee and roller according to the manufacturer’s recommended coverage rates and application thickness.

For decorative flake systems, broadcast the selected vinyl flakes into the wet epoxy according to the flooring system specifications.

Work efficiently and avoid mixing more material than can be applied within the available working time.

4. Curing

LABPOX FAST CURE is designed to achieve tack-free conditions in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes under specified conditions.

At 50°F (10°C), tack-free time is approximately 6 hours.

Actual curing times depend on substrate temperature, ambient conditions, application thickness, and other installation variables.

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended recoat windows and return-to-service requirements.

Why Contractors Choose LABPOX FAST CURE

For professional flooring contractors, installation time directly affects productivity and profitability.

LABPOX FAST CURE helps contractors reduce downtime between application stages while maintaining the durability and performance expected from a 100% solids epoxy system.

Its combination of fast curing, low viscosity, and pinhole mitigation technology makes it particularly valuable for decorative flake flooring installations where efficient application and consistent results are essential.
