When critical civil infrastructure demands an epoxy grout that performs under pressure, Megapoxy 206 Ultra delivers. It's engineered for heavy-duty applications where high compressive and impact strength are non-negotiable. This product establishes reliable, superior-to-concrete bonds, even when confronting adverse, cold, or damp conditions. Ensure your essential structures withstand the test of time and environment.
Megapoxy 206 Ultra is a two-component, 100% solids, solvent-free epoxy grout specifically engineered for civil engineering. Its formulation directly addresses the need for a hydrophilic, water-displacing material that maintains integrity in demanding environments. This grout provides high compressive and impact strength for critical applications like pile splicing, rail track grouting, and machinery grouting. It ensures reliable adhesion and cure, even when faced with cold or damp conditions, and retains its strength after prolonged water immersion.
Mixing Megapoxy 206 Ultra requires precision: combine 5 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume. Thorough mixing for 3 minutes, using a mechanical stirrer at low speed, is essential to achieve the stated physical properties. The mixture should be applied immediately after mixing, as its work time is 30 minutes at 25°C. For cooler conditions, expect an extended work time. The minimum application temperature is 10°C. Clean tools and mixing implements with Megapoxy Thinners promptly after use.
Surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion. Concrete surfaces must be free from grease and laitance, typically achieved through mechanical abrasion like grit blasting or grinding. For metal, grit blasting to AS 1627.2.2002 is recommended; otherwise, mechanical abrasion to a bright metal finish followed by degreasing is necessary. All existing coatings must be removed for maximum bond strength.
Megapoxy 206 Ultra frequently serves as the foundational adhesive in critical civil engineering projects, notably in rail system installations. It is typically the first material applied when bonding components like the Delkor Rail System to the substrate. Its role is to establish a high-strength, load-bearing connection that is integral to the overall system's stability and longevity. This primary positioning ensures structural integrity from the outset, supporting subsequent system components under demanding operational conditions.
Unlike conventional grouts or general-purpose epoxies, Megapoxy 206 Ultra is a solvent-free, hydrophilic water-displacing, flowable epoxy grout specifically engineered for heavy-duty civil engineering applications. It provides high compressive and impact strength superior to concrete, adheres and cures effectively even in cold or damp conditions, and maintains excellent strength retention after prolonged water immersion, rather than simply filling gaps or providing basic adhesion. Its formulation and performance are purpose-built for critical infrastructure demands where standard products would fall short.
Yes, Megapoxy 206 Ultra complies with AS/NZS 4020:2005 for products used in contact with drinking water. This makes it suitable for potable water infrastructure applications where compliance is critical.
The maximum recommended single pour depth is 50mm. For applications requiring greater depths, it is necessary to consult Megapoxy technical services for specific guidance.
Yes, it is formulated to adhere and cure effectively under adverse conditions, including cold and damp environments. The minimum application temperature is 10°C, and it exhibits good strength retention even after prolonged water immersion.
Drill a hole approximately 1.5 times the steel diameter. Blow out dust with oil-free compressed air. Ensure the steel is grit blasted and degreased for optimal bond, then pour from one side to release air.
No, it is strongly recommended to remove all coatings before bonding. Bonding to coated surfaces will result in significantly inferior bond strengths and may lead to product failure.

| Core hole filling and floor repairs | Superior to concrete with 28MPa tensile strength and 80 Shore D hardness, resisting heavy traffic and chemical attack. | Concreters, maintenance crews |
| Contact with drinking water infrastructure | AS/NZS 4020:2005 compliance ensures suitability and safety for potable water applications. | Civil infrastructure, water treatment specialists |
Ensure all concrete is clean, sound, and mechanically abraded to remove laitance. Steel must be grit blasted or ground to bright metal and degreased. Erect and seal all formwork.
The pre-metered kits are designed for simple and accurate mixing. Do not alter mix ratios.
Add the entire contents of Part B into the Part A container. Using a low-speed mechanical stirrer (200rpm or less), mix for 2 minutes. Scrape the sides and base with a straight edge, then mix for 1 more minute until uniform.
The mixed grout must be applied immediately. Pour from one side of the formwork to allow air to escape from the other side.
Pour the grout continuously until the void is filled. The flowable consistency will ensure it self-levels and fills the entire space.
DANGER
Wear safety shoes, protective clothing, nitrile rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a suitable respirator. Contaminated work clothing must not leave the workplace. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling, before eating, drinking, or using the toilet.
Ensure adequate ventilation to keep air concentrations below exposure standards. Use in well-ventilated areas, with local exhaust ventilation or an appropriate respirator. Prevent vapour concentration in hollows or sumps.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight and away from foodstuffs, incompatible materials, and sources of heat/ignition. Store locked up with containers closed and upright. Dispose of material and containers in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations. Part A is Class 9 Dangerous Goods, Part B is Class 8 Corrosive.
Proper surface preparation is crucial for Megapoxy 206 Ultra to achieve its documented performance, ensuring long-term bond strength and structural integrity.
Surface prep: Remove all grease and oil with an industrial heavy-duty degreaser. Mechanically abrade the surface using scabbling, grit blasting, or grinding to remove surface laitance. If mechanical methods are not possible, acid etching can be performed using a 1:1 mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and water, spread at 0.5 L/m². Allow to react for 10 minutes, then wash thoroughly and scrub. Allow 24 hours to dry. Concrete must be surface dry for maximum adhesion.
Primer: Not required for prepared concrete.
Surface prep: Grit blast to AS 1627.2.2002. If grit blasting is not possible, mechanically abrade to a clean, bright metal finish. Degrease the abraded surface by flooding with an industrial-grade degreaser. Wire brushing alone is not sufficient for optimal adhesion.
Primer: Not required for prepared metal.
Surface prep: All existing coatings must be removed entirely. For concrete, this involves flame-cleaning or mechanical scutching, followed by diamond grinding or scabbling. For metals, use a quality paint stripper, then grit blast or grind to a bright metal finish, ensuring all paint and galvanising are removed.
Primer: Not required after complete coating removal and substrate preparation.
