With a low mixed viscosity of 90cps, it sinks into the pores of concrete, timber, bricks, mortar, and natural stone to seal, harden, and waterproof from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eMegapoxy LVS functions by capillary action, penetrating deep into the substrate before curing. Once cured, it creates a high-strength barrier with a compressive strength of 80Mpa and a concrete bond strength exceeding 3Mpa, making the treated surface mechanically stronger than the concrete itself. It seals internal masonry walls, consolidates soft or porous brickwork, and hardens timber surfaces against wear. It also serves as the compatible primer coat for Megapoxy floor coatings, establishing a secure structural bond to the dry substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eNumbers that matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90cps mixed viscosity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A thin liquid that easily penetrates fine pores and capillaries in dense substrates at 25°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80Mpa compressive strength (ASTM D695):\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a cured matrix that reinforces weak concrete and masonry under heavy mechanical loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30-minute work time (at 25°C):\u003c\/strong\u003e The working window to mix, apply, and back-roll the sealer before the chemical cure begins to thicken the liquid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24-hour full cure (at 25°C):\u003c\/strong\u003e Reaches structural service strength within 24 hours at standard temperature, dropping to 12 hours at 35°C, and extending to 48 hours at 15°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-hour thin film cure (at 25°C):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cures quickly when applied as a thin sealer coat, reducing the window before subsequent coatings can be considered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcrete tanks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal sealing to prevent water egress or chemical penetration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWalls and floors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep-penetrating waterproofing barrier for porous masonry structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBricks and mortar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal sealing to consolidate old, crumbly, or dusting brick joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcrete floors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardening and dust-proofing porous concrete floors, or priming prior to applying Megapoxy floor coatings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructural concrete:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protection against environmental ingress and carbonation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimber surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toughening and consolidating soft, dry, or worn timber structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eLimitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMust be applied to thoroughly dry substrates only; moisture will compromise adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDo not apply at temperatures below 10°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMust be applied as thinly as possible and not allowed to pool.
