LABSHIELD ECO

The LABSHIELD ECO is a 100% solids two-component polyaspartic floor coating system with zero VOC and no/minimal odor. The LABSHIELD ECO is used as a colored base coat and a clear topcoat using a common hardener. A version with a prolonged working time (+) and one providing fast curing (-) are available. The system provides a quick turnaround allowing the installation in a single day. The product displays excellent curing capability even at very low temperature levels. This product offers superior mechanical and chemical properties and is low maintenance. It also displays a superior aesthetic finish and excellent UV stability. Two- or three-coat systems can be considered. LABSHIELD ECO products are available in grey, tan and black. Special colors available on request. The LABFAST and LABSHIELD products have been designed for interior and exterior installations. Solvent based polyaspartic products have always been suitable for outdoor installations, but 100% solids products offer better performance.

Material Use:

Polyaspartic coating system for concrete floors, designed for decorative and protective applications with excellent UV stability, used in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

System Components:

LABSHIELD ECO is a two-component (2A:1B) polyaspartic coating used in flake systems:

• Base Coat: LABSHIELD ECO colored version
• Topcoat: LABSHIELD ECO clear version (same hardener used)
• Optional Primers: LABPOX MVB FAST (for moisture mitigation when concrete is not fully cured)
• Additives: LABTEC Vinyl Chips (recommended for decorative flake systems)
• Silica Sand: Grade 32 used for mechanical adhesion and sanding aid

Applications:

Suitable for:

• Garages
• Residential areas
• Office and commercial buildings
• Manufacturing and food processing facilities
• Hospitals, schools, and pharmaceuticals

Application Details:

• System Configurations:
• 2-Coat System: Base Coat with LABTEC Chips + Topcoat (each 8-13 mils)
• 3-Coat System: Two Base Coats (4-9 mils each) + LABTEC Chips + Topcoat (8-13 mils)
• Maximum System Thickness: Do not exceed 30 mils
• Coverage per Gallon:
• 6 mils = 267 ft
• 8 mils = 200 ft
• 10 mils = 160 ft
• 12 mils = 133 ft
• 14 mils = 114 ft
• 16 mils = 100 ft
• Mix Ratio: 2 parts A to 1 part B
• Pot Life: 1012 minutes depending on version (ECO or ECO+)
• Working Time: 15 min (ECO), 25 min (ECO+)
• Cure Time at 22C (72F), 50% RH:
• Tack Free: 1h10 (ECO), 1h45 (ECO+)
• Recoat: within 24h
• Dry Through: 6h (ECO), 8h (ECO+)
• Foot Traffic: 24h
• Light Traffic: 48h
• Full Cure: 2 weeks
• Installation Temperature Range: -30C to 30C (-22F to 86F); optimal between -10C and 30C
• Humidity Limit: Relative humidity should be below 80%
• Surface Preparation: CSP-2 or better mechanical profiling; moisture content below 4% (use Tramex CME/CMExpert)

Special Notes:

• UV Stability: Excellent; suitable for exterior use; clear version can protect epoxy from yellowing
• Chemical Resistance: High; impermeable and low maintenance
• Limitations: Not compatible with LABTEC Universal Pigment Pods; susceptible to staining from plasticizers in car tires
• Cleaning Precautions: Avoid power washing above 49C (120F); ideal cleaning water temperature is 3243C (90110F)
• Other Precautions: Ensure no condensation remains on concrete surface during application; xylene required for cleaning between recoats and promoting adhesion
• Notable Features: Non-yellowing, fast curing even at low temperatures, high abrasion resistance, very low viscosity for ease of application, and solvent-free
