Megapoxy Buyer's Guide — TradieCart
This guide helps you choose the right Megapoxy epoxy for your project. Megapoxy is Australian-made by Vivacity Engineering (est. 1975) with over 50 years of experience formulating high-performance epoxy adhesives, resins, and coatings for construction, infrastructure, and stone industries.
Product Range
| Product | Best For |
|---|---|
| Megapoxy PM | The go-to general-purpose epoxy paste for most construction bonding jobs. Gap-filling, non-sag formula works on vertical and overhead surfaces. 45-minute work time gives plenty of positioning time. 80 MPa compressive strength. Available in White and Grey, 4L and 20L kits. The most popular Megapoxy product on TradieCart. |
| Megapoxy PF | When you need the job done fast. Sets in just 3 minutes with handling strength in 15 minutes — ideal for emergency repairs and time-critical work. Same non-sag paste as PM but with rapid cure. Available in White and Grey, 4L and 20L kits. Choose PF over PM when speed matters more than positioning time. |
| Megapoxy PF Gel | Gel variant of PF for vertical and overhead rapid-set bonding where extra sag resistance is needed. 4L kit. |
| Megapoxy H | Low-viscosity liquid epoxy for crack repair, anchoring, and penetrating applications. Hydrophilic formula displaces water — works in damp and wet conditions including underwater. Potable water safe. Available in Clear and Grey, 4L and 20L kits. Choose H when you need a pouring or injection epoxy rather than a paste. |
| Megapoxy HX | Extra-low-viscosity version of H for deep crack penetration, stone consolidation, and injection work. 60-minute work time for larger pours. 4L and 20L kits. |
| Megapoxy P1 | Extended 60-minute work time epoxy paste for large-area bonding where you need more positioning time than PM allows. Dark Grey only. 1L, 4L, and 20L sizes. |
| Megapoxy 69 | High-strength translucent epoxy gel (120 MPa). Ideal for natural stone bonding and repair where a clear finish matters. Tintable with Megapoxy Pigment Pastes. 4L and 20L kits. |
| Megapoxy 63 | Translucent epoxy gel for stone laminating and edge bonding. Anti-yellowing formula. 3L kit. |
| Megapoxy 132 | High-strength clear epoxy coating for floors, walls, and tanks. Food and potable water safe. Clear and Grey, 30L kits. |
| Megapoxy MC | Heavy-duty epoxy maintenance coating for floors, bunds, and industrial surfaces. Grey, 5kg kit. |
| Megapoxy Megabond | Structural epoxy adhesive for heavy-duty bonding applications. Off White, 20L kit. |
| Pigment Pastes | Colour tints for translucent Megapoxy products (69, 63, H, HX). Available in Beige, Black, Brown, Green, Grey, Red, White, and Yellow. 500g jars. |
All Megapoxy products are two-part epoxy systems sold as pre-measured kits (Part A + Part B). Mix ratios vary by product — always check the data sheet.
Quick Recommendation Guide
- General concrete or stone bonding (no rush) → Megapoxy PM — reliable, cost-effective, and the most widely stocked option
- Emergency or time-critical repair → Megapoxy PF — sets in 3 minutes, handling strength in 15
- Crack injection or anchoring in damp conditions → Megapoxy H — hydrophilic, low viscosity, potable water safe
- Natural stone bonding where appearance matters → Megapoxy 69 — translucent, tintable, high strength
- Large-area bonding needing extra work time → Megapoxy P1 — 60 minutes of working time
Key Features & Benefits
- Australian-made by Vivacity Engineering (Thornleigh, NSW) — over 50 years of local formulation expertise
- ISO 9001 certified manufacturing for batch-to-batch consistency
- Hydrophilic technology on H and HX products — displaces water for reliable bonding in wet conditions
- Non-sag paste formulations (PM, PF) suit vertical and overhead applications without slumping
- Tintable translucent products (69, 63) with Pigment Paste range for colour-matched stone repairs
- VOC-free or very low VOC across the range
Common Questions
Should I use Megapoxy PM or PF? — Use PM for most jobs where you have time to position and adjust (45-minute work time). Switch to PF when you need a rapid set — it cures in 3 minutes, so only use it when speed is essential. Both offer similar strength and bonding performance.
Can Megapoxy H be used underwater? — Yes. Megapoxy H is hydrophilic, meaning it displaces water during cure. It is rated for submerged and splash-zone applications and is safe for use in potable water systems.
What is the difference between Megapoxy H and HX? — HX has an even lower viscosity than H, designed for deep crack penetration and stone consolidation. H is the standard choice for most crack repair and anchoring; HX is for when you need maximum penetration into fine cracks.
How do I colour-match Megapoxy for stone work? — Use the translucent products (69 or 63) with Megapoxy Pigment Pastes. Pastes are available in 8 colours and can be blended to match most natural stone tones.
What is the shelf life? — Most Megapoxy products have a 2-year shelf life when stored unopened in a cool, dry location.
Is Megapoxy 132 food safe? — Yes. Megapoxy 132 is approved for contact with potable water and food, making it suitable for tank linings and food-processing areas.
