Technical Overview
- Chemical Properties
- Two-component, rapid-setting epoxy paste
- Application Temperature Range
- Minimum 10°C, Maximum 80°C (operating)
Trade Professional Information
- Required Tools
- Mixing containers, spatulas, Megapoxy Thinners for cleaning, trowel for larger applications.
- Trade-Specific Tips
- Mix only the amount that can be applied within 3 minutes due to rapid setting.
- For concrete, mechanical abrasion is preferred over acid etching for surface preparation.
- When bonding metals, grit blasting is recommended for maximum adhesion.
- Common Issues and Solutions
- Premature hardening: Mix quickly and apply immediately.
- Weak bond on coated surfaces: Remove all coatings prior to application.
