Environmentally friendly resins: What to consider when specifying an epoxy system

From low-VOC formulations to long-term durability, here’s what many specifiers review when evaluating environmentally friendly* resins. In modern construction, epoxy resin choices influence more than bond strength: they play a direct role in indoor air quality and meeting the expectations of today’s green building standards. As project teams look for ways to reduce emissions, minimise […]

Water-based epoxy vs solvent-based vs 100% solids: the difference on the job

How epoxy types affect bond strength, durability and long-term performance. Water‑based epoxy, solvent‑based epoxy and 100% solids epoxy appear on specifications every day – but the labels don’t always reflect how these systems actually perform. The practical question is simple: are you working with a diluted epoxy system, or a 100% solids epoxy that delivers full performance? […]

Epoxy viscosity explained: how to choose the right epoxy for your project

How viscosity, or “flow”, can make or break projects of all sizes. From major infrastructure to precision repairs, specifying epoxy with the right viscosity is critical to performance. If viscosity isn’t matched to the job, the epoxy won’t fully penetrate the crack or substrate, can drain or slump before curing, or fail to properly bond […]

Fast-forwarding the Forces of Nature: Proving and Improving Epoxy Strength

At Megapoxy, our promise isn’t just strength at application: it’s strength that endures. Australia’s intense UV, sudden storms and humid nights demand solutions that don’t simply hold, but last. That’s where our UV Weathering Testing Chamber comes in. Why we test The chamber lets us replicate years of climatic exposure in days: like temperature shifts, […]
