EP-ACC Epoxy Accelerator

Description

EP-ACC Epoxy Accelerator

EP-ACC is typically used in situations where a faster curing time is desired or required. They can be especially useful in cold or humid conditions, where epoxy resins might cure too slowly without an accelerator. By adding an accelerator, the curing time can be reduced.

Epoxy Accelerator is an efficient activator for epoxy resins cured with a wide variety of hardener types including polysulphides, polymercaptans, aliphatic and cyclo-aliphatic amines, polyamides and amidoamines, dicyandiamide, anhydrides. Applications for Epoxy Accelerator as a homopolymerisation catalyst for epoxy resin include adhesives, electrical casting and impregnation, and high performance composites.

Note: It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines when using accelerators, as improper usage can lead to issues with the epoxy curing process, such as incomplete curing, reduced mechanical properties, or compromised chemical resistance.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
– Versatile Usage: Suitable for multiple applications in epoxy systems.
– Enhanced Curing: Improves the performance and reliability of standard liquid epoxy resins.
– Activator for Curing Agents: Efficiently activates other curing agents, broadening its applicability.
– Co-Curing Capability: Can be co-cured with liquid polysulphide for enhanced properties.
– Long Shelf Life: Ensures long-term usability and stability.

CATALYTIC USAGE
??? Standard Liquid Epoxy Resin: Use 5-15 parts per 100 parts of standard liquid epoxy resin with an epoxide equivalent weight of 190.
??? Activator for Other Curing Agents: Use 2-5 parts per 100 parts of resin to activate other curing agents.
??? Co-Cure with Liquid Polysulphide: Use 5-15 parts per 100 parts of standard liquid epoxy resin when co-curing with liquid polysulphide.

SHELF LIFE
The Catalytic Epoxy Activator has a shelf life of at least 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original sealed container, undercover, at ambient temperature, and away from excessive heat and humidity.

EP-ACC is the perfect choice for professionals seeking to optimise the performance and curing efficiency of their epoxy resin systems. With its broad range of applications and reliable results, it is a valuable addition to any industrial toolkit.

Safety: It’s important to use resin in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, due to its fumes and potential skin irritants. Proper safety measures are essential when working with resin.
