LVS

How to Use

Megapoxy LVS is a low-viscosity sealer for many types of priming and coating applications.

Available conveniently pre-packaged 6 litre and 15 litre kits with a simple 2:1 mix ratio.

It has a 30-minute work time and a 24-hour cure time at 25ºC.

Surface Preparation

Before beginning to mix, ensure that all contact surfaces like metal, concrete and stone are clean and free of oil, dust and any other surface contaminants.

Concrete and stone surfaces should be prepared by grinding the surface and removing all the dust and debris. Concrete surfaces should be ground back or as a minimum acid etched to ensure effective bonding contact.

Safety and PPE

As with all epoxy resins, please wear appropriate PPE, including eyewear gloves and clothing.

Mixing

IMPORTANT. Only make a suitable quantity that can be used within the 30-minute work time!

Additional batches can be mixed after the previous is mixed and applied, even as it cures.

Megapoxy LVS is easily mixed by hand. For larger projects and larger volumes of product, you can mix mechanically.

Using measuring tubs, pour the correct amount of Part A. Allow enough volume in the mixing tub for the full amount of epoxy. Pour in the correct amount of Part B.

We recommend mixing Megapoxy LVS for 3 minutes using a timer.

Set a timer for 2 minutes.

Begin the mixing by placing a flat spatula into the mix right to the base of the tub and stirring slowly. The two parts will remain visibly streaky until they are combined. As the epoxy is being mixed, it will transition from clear to milky, then back to clear.

After 2 minutes, scrape any unmixed product off the sides of the container and the spatula before mixing again for a further one minute (set timer). After the one minute is complete, the Megapoxy LVS should appear clear and streak-free, and ready for use.

Application

Megapoxy LVS is recommended for surface strengthening of timber and masonry; sealing concrete; floor coating; and fine crack sealing. LVS is ideal for protecting structural concrete (walls and floors) and timber against moisture, salt laden air and corrosion.

It can be applied with a brush or roller. Cut in edges with a brush before roller coating.

If using as a primer, apply one coat LVS and finish with Megapoxy MC as a final coat. If using LVS as final coat, two coats of LVS are required. Ensure you leave time for the first coat to set (a minimum of 6 hours) before applying the second coat.

For bulk mixing, ensure that all your tools, along with the Part A and Part B containers, are ready for mixing, but do not combine them or mix multiple batches at once. Only make your second batch once the first has been applied.

Clean-up

Uncured Megapoxy LVS can be cleaned with Megapoxy Thinners.

Please Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, national and international regulations.

Finishing

Although applying Megapoxy LVS is easy and fast, it will cure stronger than concrete with excellent chemical resistance and can be machined, sanded and polished to a fine finish.
