When quick, reliable job completion is demanded be sure to make Accel-R8 your cure!

ACCEL-R8 has been formulated as an additive to enhance the cure rates and final film properties of asphalt based seal coat materials. With issues like high humidity, cool temperatures, late afternoon and nighttime applications, shade, porous pavements, potential rain showers, and other possible curing issues, a contractor has a lot to worry about trying to deliver a successful project.

ACCEL-R8 adds a new tool to the contractor's toolbox and can help to overcome curing issues while improving the color, suspension, and durability of the finished product due to our specially formulated chemistry.

Benefits:

- Progressive Cure (with increasing additions) - Extends application season - Better adhesion in cool temperatures - Not a latex product - Augments color, resists gray out in cold conditions - Low VOC, non-hazardous - Improves suspension and viscosity

ACCEL-R8 actively promotes curing through chemistry that pushes the water of the seal coat to the surface for evaporation. While this specialized material is designed for a speedy cure it does have limitations as the conditions get below 40 ºF and/or humidity above 85%. As with any sealer application it is advisable not to apply this product or others unless sufficient weather conditions exist to assure full cure prior to being subjected to rain, snow, or heavy dew. The atmosphere is the 'pump' which must provide a lower vapor pressure differential above the surface of the uncured coating for it to condense and dry. The combined effects of five physically measurable properties: surface temperature, air temperature, sun load, wind, and humidity will determine the water removal capabilities of the atmospheric 'pump' at any given moment.

Mix Design:

The range of ACCEL-R8 addition depends on the conditions for application and the level of improved cure desired. PROTECT PRODUCT FROM FREEZING!

As higher levels of ACCEL-R8 are used, viscosity will also rise. Please limit water addition to the minimum necessary for appropriate application needs. This will help allow the modifier to operate at an optimum level.

General guideline (Humidity < 60%)
 

Air temperature	60-70 °F	50-60 °F	Below 50 °F
Gallons of ACCEL-R8 per 100 gal. of concentrate	1 gal.	2 gal.	3 gal.

For high humidity or extended periods of below 50 ºF additions up to 4 gallons/100 gal. of concentrate may be necessary.

Add ACCEL-R8 to seal coat concentrate under agitation of hand held drill mixer in pails or buggy machine. If materials' high viscosity affects the capability of the mixing apparatus to properly disperse then it is recommended that small amounts of water are added to reduce the impeding viscosity.
