Use Megadure Ceramic for: Protecting equipment in mines, ball mills, and other abrasive environments.
Megadure Ceramic is a two-component, high alumina bead epoxy paste designed for extreme abrasion resistance. It is ideal for protecting equipment in demanding industrial environments such as mines, coal-fired plants, and dredging operations. Available in both standard and quick-setting formulations, it offers flexibility for various project timelines. The green-cured paste can be applied by trowel or spatula, providing a durable lining and grouting solution for wear-resistant ceramic tiles and steel surfaces.
Cure Time: Standard set cures in 24-48 hours, while quick set cures in 12-24 hours, depending on temperature. For example, in a 25°C environment, quick set will fully cure in 12 hours, allowing for faster equipment turnaround.
Yield: A 2kg kit provides 0.5 m2 coverage at 2mm thickness, making it easy to calculate material requirements for large projects.
Application Temperature Range: Minimum application temperature is 10°C. Ensure surfaces are within this range for proper curing and adhesion.
Surface Preparation: Metals require grit blasting or mechanical abrasion and degreasing, while concrete needs to be free of grease and laitence, achieved by mechanical abrasion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Megadure Ceramic
Q: What is the difference between the standard and quick set formulations?
A: The quick set formulation cures faster, allowing for quicker project turnarounds, while the standard set provides a longer working time.
Q: How do I prepare metal surfaces for Megadure Ceramic?
A: Metal surfaces should be grit blasted to AS CK 9.4 Class 3 finish or mechanically abraded and degreased to ensure proper adhesion.
Q: Can Megadure Ceramic be used in high-temperature environments?
A: The technical data sheet focuses on ambient curing conditions. For high-temperature applications, consult Megapoxy's technical service.
Q: What is the coverage area for a 2kg kit?
A: A 2kg kit of Megadure Ceramic will yield 0.5 m2 at a 2mm thickness.
Q: How do I ensure proper mixing of the two components?
A: Add Part B (hardener) to Part A (resin) slowly with continual mixing. Thorough mixing is essential for optimal properties.
