  • Capillary Action
  • Vacuum Bagging

 

How to Use

  • Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin is a solvent-free, extra
    low viscosity, hydrophilic epoxy resin for many types of bonding and filling
    applications.
  • It is clear setting and it is conveniently packaged in 4 litre and 20
    litre kits with a simple 3:1 mix ratio.
  • It has a 60-minute work time with a 24-hour cure time at 25ºC.

 

Surface Preparation

  • Before you begin mixing, you need to ensure that all contact surfaces
    like metal, concrete and stone are clean and clear of oil, dust and any other
    surface contaminants.
  • Concrete and stone surfaces should be prepared by grinding the surface
    and removing all the dust and debris. This helps ensure effective bonding contact.
  • Compressed air can be used to remove dust from cracks and holes. Clean
    metal surfaces with acetone to remove any oils or contaminants.

 

Safety and PPE

  • Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin is VOC-free. As with all
    epoxy resins, please wear appropriate PPE, including eyewear gloves and clothing.

 

Mixing

IMPORTANT. Only make a suitable quantity that can be used within the 60-
minute work time!

  • Additional batches can be mixed after the previous is mixed and
    applied. Even as they cure.
  • The recommended mixing time for Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy
    Resin is 3 minutes. Mix first for 2 minutes, before scraping the sides and then mix
    for another one minute until the product is completely uniform in colour.
  • Megapoxy HX is easily mixed by hand. For larger projects and larger
    volumes of product, you can mix mechanically.
  • Using measuring tubs, pour the required amount of Part A. Allow enough
    volume in the mixing tub for the full amount of epoxy. Pour in the correct amount
    of Part B.
  • We recommend mixing Megapoxy HX for 3 minutes using a timer. Set a
    timer for 2 minutes. Begin slowly mixing by placing a flat spatula into the mix (to
    the base of the tub) and slowly stir. The two parts are still visibly streaky until
    combined. As the epoxy is mixed it will change from clear to milky, then back to
    clear.
  • Ensure you scape around the base and sides to gather all the un-mixed
    epoxy and continue to mix.
  • After 2 minutes, scrape any un-mixed product off the sides of the
    container and the spatula before mixing again for a further one minute (set timer).
    After the one minute is complete the Megapoxy HX should appear even, streak-free
    and ready for use.
  • Do not be concerned if some bubbles are visible, as they will dissipate
    as the epoxy warms and cures. A vacuum chamber can be used to remove any bubbles
    for craft applications.

 

Application

  • Megapoxy HX is recommended for concrete crack injection repairs and
    casting.
  • Applying Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin is easy and fast.
    It will cure even in cold or damp conditions. Stronger than concrete with good
    chemical resistance, it can be applied by paint brush directly onto cracks or
    poured in using a plastic dispensing bottle.
  • Megapoxy HX is a water and food-safe contact material for commercial
    surfaces (complies with AS/NZ 4020:2018 testing of products for use in contact with
    drinking water).

 

Clean Up

  • Uncured Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin can be cleaned with
    Megapoxy Thinners.
  • Please Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local,
    regional, national and international regulations.

 

Finishing

  • Although applying Megapoxy HX Extra Low Viscosity Epoxy Resin is easy
    and fast, it will cure stronger than concrete with good chemical resistance and can
    be machined, sanded and polished to a fine finish.
  • For further technical information, refer to TDS.
