Description
Epoxy Resin Accelerator ES80® is a superior curing catalyst designed for use with amine hardeners. The product was specifically developed for use with DCC 100% solid epoxy resins to accelerate curing time, but it is compatible with most amines and may be used in most amine-cured epoxy systems. Epoxy Resin Accelerator ES80® is designed to reduce cure times at low temperatures and provides improved surface quality of the systems for tack-free surfaces through faster curing times, making the coating less vulnerable to dust and bugs.
Directions For Use: Refer to the technical data sheet. Shake well before use. Add into the mixed product before adding any accelerator. The accelerator must be mixed in thoroughly. Add 1 – 5% of the accelerator by volume per 1L of MIXED epoxy product. Only use with compatible Durable Concrete Coatings epoxy resin. The addition rate depends on project-specific conditions such as air temperature, substrate temperature, product temperature as well as airflow, and relative humidity. Do NOT exceed 5%.
Coverage: 1 – 5% by volume into compatible Durable Concrete Coatings mixed with epoxy resins, or into mixed two-pack epoxy systems with amine hardeners.
Clean Up: Absorb the spill with an absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or similar). Refer to the technical data sheet for detailed information.
Size: 5L
Special features & benefits:
· Accelerates cure rate · Low rate of addition · Very effective · Shorter tack free time through faster curing · Faster re-coat window · High reactivity · Fast cure at ambient & low temperatures · Colour retention · Does not modify the glass transition temperature · Unchanged mechanical performance
Limitations of Epoxy Resin Accelerator ES80®:
· Will reduce the pot life and working time
· Reduces product re-coat window
· Overdosage will highly affect working time, levelling performance, pot life and adhesion properties
· Coated surface temperature must remain at a minimum of 10°C during curing process
· Falling below dewpoint and build-up of condensation will result in blushing of the uncured epoxy
