Use Megapoxy MC for: Protecting industrial floors, walls, and steel structures in harsh chemical and abrasive environments.

Megapoxy MC is a two-component, heavy-duty epoxy coating designed for demanding commercial and industrial applications. Its 100% solids formulation provides a high-build, chemical-resistant finish, ideal for protecting floors, walls, and steel structures. This coating is particularly resistant to hydrogen sulphide, making it suitable for sewage treatment plants and pipes. Available in standard (MC) and rapid cure (MC2) versions, Megapoxy MC offers flexibility for various project timelines. Its VOC-free formulation ensures safety in food and beverage facilities, while its excellent abrasion resistance makes it perfect for high-traffic areas like car parks and warehouses.

Primer Information: For porous surfaces, it is recommended to use Megapoxy LVS Low Viscosity Sealer as a primer. Apply Megapoxy LVS at a rate of 8-10m² per litre and allow 8-24 hours before overcoating with Megapoxy MC. Proper surface preparation is essential for optimal adhesion.

Cure Time: Megapoxy MC cures in 24 hours at 25°C. The rapid cure version, MC2, has a tack-free time of 2 hours and a recoat time of 4 hours at 25°C, significantly reducing project downtime.

Coverage Rate: A 5kg kit covers 20-25m², and a 20kg kit covers 80-100m². This efficient coverage helps reduce material costs for large projects.

Application Temperature Range: Apply at a minimum temperature of 10°C. This ensures proper curing and adhesion in a variety of Australian climates.

Chemical Properties: Megapoxy MC is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including hydrogen sulphide. Its VOC-free formulation makes it safe for use in food and beverage facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Megapoxy MC Heavy Duty Maintenance Coating

Q: What is the difference between Megapoxy MC and MC2?

A: Megapoxy MC2 is the rapid setting version, offering faster tack-free and re-coat times compared to the standard Megapoxy MC. This reduces downtime and speeds up project completion.

Q: Can Megapoxy MC be used in food processing facilities?

A: Yes, Megapoxy MC is suitable for food processing facilities due to its nil VOC content and high chemical resistance, ensuring a hygienic and durable finish.

Q: How do I prepare concrete surfaces for Megapoxy MC application?

A: Concrete should be free from grease and oil. Remove surface laitance by mechanical abrasion or acid etching. Ensure the surface is dry for maximum adhesion.

Q: What is the mixing ratio for Megapoxy MC?

A: The mixing ratio is 3 parts A to 1 part B by volume or 4 parts A to 1 part B by weight. Mix thoroughly for 3-5 minutes (MC) or 2-3 minutes (MC2).

Q: Can I apply Megapoxy MC with a spray gun?

A: Yes, Megapoxy MC can be applied by brush, roller, squeegee (MC2), or airless spray. Thinning with Megapoxy Thinners up to 10% is possible for easier application.

Q: How do I create a non-slip surface with Megapoxy MC?

A: Broadcast epoxy quality sand, glass beads, carborundum, or silicone oxide over the first freshly applied coat. Recoat to lock the aggregate in place. Alternatively, mix fine aggregate into the Megapoxy MC.
