Epoxy Resin Accelerator ES80® 5L

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
