If you are working in cold weather or have a tight deadline, Epoxy XLR8 is your best friend. It is a high-speed additive designed to make your Eco Epoxy Shield dry much faster, so you can finish your project in record time.
 
Why Use Epoxy XLR8?
Accelerate Epoxy Cure Time: Epoxy XLR8 is specifically designed to significantly speed up the chemical reaction of epoxy resins, allowing for a much faster workflow. This additive enables contractors to hit their milestones sooner by drastically reducing the waiting time between application and initial set.
Low Temperature Curing Additive: This product is a critical tool for contractors working in winter or cold environments where standard epoxy often struggles to cure. By lowering the required curing temperature, it ensures a reliable and consistent hard set even when ambient temperatures are unfavourable.
Same-Day Two-Coat Application: Using Epoxy XLR8 allows for a same-day, two-coat application, effectively cutting project durations in half. This efficiency enables professionals to complete high-build systems in a single day, reducing labour costs and returning the floor to service faster.
Reduced Pot Life: As a technical note for experienced professionals, this accelerator significantly reduces the pot life of the mixed resin. Rapid application is essential once the additive is incorporated, requiring careful planning to ensure the material is spread before it begins to set in the bucket.
 
How Much to Use (at 25°C)
You can choose how much you want to "accelerate" the drying time:
For 30% Faster Drying: Add one 200ml pack per 15-litre kit.
For 60% Faster Drying: Add two 200ml packs per 15-litre kit.
 
Important Professional Tips
Don't Overdo It: Do not exceed the recommended dose; using too much can make your floor brittle or cause it to turn yellow.
Work Quickly: Once you add XLR8, the epoxy will harden much faster in the bucket (reduced "pot life"), so you need to get it onto the floor right away.
