Product Description

FOX PURATHANE® ACC is a material that significantly accelerates the chemical reaction and curing time of polyurethane-based floor coating systems. It is added at a maximum of 0.1% by weight to the A+B component of the mixture; the dosage should be adjusted according to ambient temperature, humidity, and material quantity.

The product is designed for use with polyurethane-based products such as FOX PURFUGA FX145 PEBBLE, FOX PURRAZZO Series, FOX STONECARPET® BINDER PU/PU-T, FOX PURATHANE® BASECOAT COMFORT, and FOX PURATHANE® BASECOAT HARD. It is a transparent liquid with a density of 0.98±0.05 gr/cm³. The application temperature range is between +10°C and +30°C.

According to the application table data, at +23°C and 50% relative humidity, using +0.05% ACC with FOX PURATHANE® BASECOAT HARD achieves Shore A 62 and Shore D 15 hardness values at the 4th hour; in the formulation without ACC, no measurable hardness is obtained at the 4th hour.

Advantages

  • Easy to use.
  • Significantly reduces drying time.

Application Steps

  1. 1

    Substrate and Ambient Preparation

    Concrete surfaces must be at least 3 weeks old. A vapour barrier layer must be created for slabs on grade. Ambient and surface temperature must be confirmed to be between +10°C and +30°C.

  2. 2

    Material Acclimatisation

    Materials to be used should be brought to the application site 1–2 days before application and allowed to acclimatise to ambient conditions. In cold weather, packaging should be conditioned at +20°C – +25°C.

  3. 3

    Mixing the Base Material

    Mix the polyurethane-based material whose curing time you wish to accelerate using an electric mixer at 300–400 rpm with the appropriate mixing tip, in accordance with the information specified in its own technical documentation.

  4. 4

    Addition of FOX PURATHANE® ACC

    Add FOX PURATHANE® ACC at a maximum of 0.1% by weight of the mixed base material. The dosage should be adjusted according to temperature, humidity, and material quantity.

  5. 5

    Homogeneous Mixing

    After adding FOX PURATHANE® ACC, mix the material until homogeneous. Do not neglect to use the specified mixing tip to prevent air bubble formation.

  6. 6

    Application

    Apply the homogeneous mixture quickly. After application is complete, ensure the coating is protected from direct water contact for at least 24 hours.

Critical

The application surface, ambient, and material temperature must be a minimum of +10°C and a maximum of +30°C.

Critical

After the application is completed, the coating must be protected from direct water contact for at least 24 hours. If water contact occurs, softening and blistering will form on the coating; this will cause the coating to lose its properties and it will need to be completely removed and reapplied.

Critical

A maximum of 0.1% by weight of the A+B component must be used. The dosage should be adjusted according to temperature, humidity, and material quantity.

Critical

Mixing must be carried out with an electric mixer at 300–400 rpm and the specified epoxy/polyurethane resin mixing tip. If the specified mixing tip is not used, air will be entrained into the product, causing air bubbles to form on the coating after application.

Important

Concrete surfaces to be coated with epoxy/polyurethane must be at least 3 weeks old prior to application; a vapour barrier layer must be created for slabs on grade, and the building's roof, walls, doors, and windows must be completed.

Important

Materials to be used should be brought to the application site 1–2 days in advance and allowed to acclimatise to ambient conditions.

Important

In cold weather, the ambient and substrate temperature should be raised; to improve the workability of the products, packaging should be conditioned at +20°C – +25°C before use.

Important

Rain, dust, wind, animals, and insects must be prevented from entering the building while the coating is still fresh.

Information

In resin-based systems, pot life and curing times are affected by ambient temperature, substrate temperature, and air humidity. Curing slows at low temperatures; at high temperatures curing accelerates and working time shortens.

Important

Shelf life: 6 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, between +5°C and +30°C.

Important

Must be stored in its original unopened packaging, in a cool and dry environment, protected from frost. For short-term storage, a maximum of 3 pallets may be stacked; for long-term storage, pallets must not be stacked on top of each other.

Critical

Approaching storage and application areas with open flame is dangerous; areas must be ventilated. Work clothing, protective gloves, goggles, and a mask must be worn during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap. In case of ingestion, consult a doctor immediately. Store out of reach of children.
