Concrete repairs need to cure. Fast. Especially when the temperature drops, or the job site can't afford downtime. EverKrete Accelerator is the turbo boost for EverKrete 102 resin, cutting cure times to minutes. Finish repairs quickly, even when the thermometer hits -18°C. This additive keeps your project moving, regardless of the weather.

Why this product exists

Site conditions rarely conform to ideal curing temperatures. Slow cure times mean extended downtime for critical infrastructure and industrial flooring, costing time and money. EverKrete Accelerator was formulated to specifically tackle this, enabling the EverKrete 102 resin to achieve a full cure in as little as 15 minutes. This additive ensures that concrete repair work can proceed rapidly, even in low-temperature environments down to -18°C, extending the operational window and preventing costly project delays.

The numbers that matter

  • Full cure in 15 minutes: This minimises downtime for critical areas. Repair, cure, and return to service within the hour.
  • Application down to -18°C: Extends your working season. Projects in cold climates or during winter months are no longer delayed by temperature alone.
  • Variable mix ratio (100:1 to 1000:1): Allows fine-tuning of cure speed. Adjust the accelerator quantity based on ambient temperature and desired work time, providing control over the reaction.

What it's like to use

Using EverKrete Accelerator integrates directly into the EverKrete 102 mixing process. First, catalyse EverKrete 102 with its standard catalyst and mix thoroughly. Then, measure the precise quantity of Accelerator needed for your specific temperature and desired cure time, adding it to the catalysed resin. Power mix for 30–60 seconds to ensure even dispersion. Always test your desired mix ratio on a small scale before full application, as work times vary significantly with temperature and ratio. For wet tools or spills, clean with Acetone before the resin cures.

Where this product excels

  • Civil Infrastructure Repairs: When bridge decks, roadways, or concrete structures in cold environments require rapid repair to minimise traffic disruption and ensure structural integrity.
  • Industrial Flooring: For warehouse floors, manufacturing plants, or cold storage facilities where operational downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum, allowing repairs to be completed quickly without interrupting production.
  • Pre-Cast Concrete Priming: As an additive for EverKrete 102 when priming pre-cast elements in low temperatures, ensuring strong adhesion and bond even in adverse conditions.

How it fits in a real system

EverKrete Accelerator is a critical component of the EverKrete Concrete Repair System, specifically designed to modify the performance of EverKrete 102 resin. It is integrated during the mixing stage of the resin, right after the standard catalyst has been added and mixed. This precise timing ensures the accelerator evenly disperses throughout the resin, initiating the rapid curing process immediately before application. Its role is to speed up the reaction, making EverKrete 102 suitable for conditions or project timelines where rapid cure is non-negotiable.

Choose this when

  • When EverKrete 102 Primer concrete repairs require extremely fast return to service.
  • When working in cooler environments, especially those below +10°C, down to -18°C.
  • When needing to extend the application window for concrete repairs into colder months.
  • When priming with EverKrete 102 in low temperatures (between -18°C and +5°C).

Don't use this when

  • Not for: Applications outside the temperature range of -18°C to +35°C.
  • Not for: Damp, wet, or contaminated substrates, or if rain is imminent.
  • Not for: Use as a standalone repair product; it requires EverKrete 102 resin.
  • Not for: Use if precise control over extended working time is preferred over rapid cure.

This product is classified as a non-hazardous chemical and non-dangerous good, simplifying site logistics and handling.
