Megapoxy LVS

Low Viscosity Sealer

Priming, sealing and hardening porous surfaces

A penetration sealer for concrete, brick and other porous surfaces. LVS extends longevity of surfaces and is highly effective in protecting against corrosion, leakage and other damage.

Features & Benefits

Recommended for use with Megapoxy MC.
Seals concrete floors against oils, fats, dilute acids and other corrosive materials.
Protects walls and floors against damp.
Protects structural concrete from salt air and moisture.
Seals concrete tanks to prevent seepage.

Ideal Uses

Surface Strengthening

Sealing Concrete

Floor Coating

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.

What is the mix ratio for Megapoxy LVS?

Megapoxy LVS has a straightforward 2:1 mix ratio by volume, ensuring an easy, consistent blend for priming and sealing – and long-lasting protection against corrosion, leakage and other damage. See our video for step-by-step instructions.

What is the working time for Megapoxy LVS?

Megapoxy LVS has a 30-minute working time at 25°C, providing an ideal balance between control, precision and speed to keep projects on schedule. Read how it was used to coat and protect pre-cast concrete products manufactured for construction and infrastructure.

How can I remove uncured Megapoxy LVS?

It’s easy to keep your tools, workspace and site clean and ready. Simply wipe away uncured Megpoxy LVS using an absorbent cloth and Megapoxy thinners or acetone.

What is the best way to mix Megapoxy LVS?

Megapoxy LVS is easily mixed by hand using a spatula and mixing containers or tubs – achieving a smooth, even blend that’s ready for application. For larger projects and larger volumes, you can mix mechanically. For clear advice and tips, simply give us a call. You can also see our video for step-by-step instructions.

What is the shelf life of Megapoxy LVS?

With a two-year shelf life, Megapoxy LVS remains reliable and effective for long-term use in a variety of applications – without the cost and worry of waste.

How long should I mix Megapoxy LVS before use?

Mix Megapoxy LVS for at least three minutes before use, to create a uniform blend for maximum penetration and long-term protection of porous surfaces from damaging and corrosive materials.

Do I need to do two coats of the Megapoxy LVS?

When sealing porous surfaces like concrete, we recommend applying a minimum of two coats for deep penetration and full protection. For use as a primer for Megapoxy MC, a single coat is enough to create a strong, reliable base.
