Labfast 85 (+) Low Odor One say Floor Polyaspartic Labfast 85 (+) Low Odor is a high performance, 85 percent solids polyaspartic coating designed for fast curing, low odor installations, and rapid return to service. This professional grade, two component (1 to 1) system is uniquely engineered to serve as both a pigmented base coat and a high gloss clear topcoat using a common hardener. This system is built for one day floor installations where speed, durability, and low odor are non-negotiable requirements. Where This Product Fits in Your System One Day Garage Floors: Go from prep to topcoat in a single day. Occupied Interiors: Low odor formulation makes it ideal for retail, offices, and residential basements. UV Stable Topcoat: Non yellowing protection for interior and exterior decorative flake or quartz systems. Cold Weather Installs: Maintains a reliable cure even in temperatures where epoxy systems would fail. Key Advantages Low Odor Formula: Specifically designed for sensitive environments and occupied buildings. (+) Extended Working Time: Provides approximately 25 minutes of "open time" for superior application control and better leveling. Rapid Return to Service: Tack free in as little as 45 to 60 minutes depending on humidity and temperature. Extreme Durability: 85 percent solids content provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Common Hardener: Simplifies inventory by using the same Part B for both clear and pigmented layers. Weather Resistant: 100 percent UV stable for long term exterior performance without ambering. System Flexibility This product can be used in two coat or three coat systems depending on the application. It works as both a pigmented base coat and a clear protective topcoat using the same hardener, simplifying inventory and installation. For the pigmented base coat, simply add Labsurface Universal Pigment Pods to the clear Labfast 85 (+) Part A. For decorative systems, we recommend using vinyl flakes to build a full broadcast or partial broadcast floor system.

This reduces the risk of roller marks and allows for better leveling on larger floors. Can I really complete a floor in one day?Yes. Because it is tack free so quickly, you can apply your base coat, broadcast your flakes, scrape, and topcoat all within a 6 to 8 hour window. Does "Low Odor" mean no odor?It has a significantly lower odor profile than traditional solvent based polyaspartics, making it much safer and more pleasant for interior residential and commercial work. Is this suitable for outdoor use?Absolutely. It is 100 percent UV stable and will not yellow, chalk, or peel when exposed to direct sunlight. Can this be used as both a base coat and topcoat?Yes. You use the pigmented Part A (created using Universal Pigment Pods) for your base coat and the clear Part A for your topcoat, both utilizing the exact same Part B hardener. How many square feet does a gallon cover?Coverage typically ranges from 125 to 200 square feet per gallon depending on surface porosity and whether it is being used as a base coat or topcoat. What is the best temperature for application?It can be applied in temperatures ranging from 20°F to 85°F. Note that the material will cure much faster in high heat and high humidity. Is it resistant to hot tire pickup?Yes. Once fully cured, Labfast 85 (+) is highly resistant to hot tire staining and chemical spills like oil or gasoline. Do I need to prime the concrete first?For most standard garage applications, this can be applied directly to mechanically profiled concrete (CSP 2 or 3). On very porous slabs, a primer may be beneficial. What happens if I wait too long between coats?If you wait longer than 24 hours to apply your next coat, you must mechanically sand the surface to ensure a proper bond.
