FAQs

What does '2K' mean in relation to this product?

'2K' refers to a two-component system, meaning the paint, clear, or primer requires a separate hardener or activator to cure. The U-Pol Rocket Paint Accelerator is designed to speed up the chemical reaction between these two components.

Can I use this accelerator with 1K paints?

No, this product is specifically formulated for 2K (two-component) systems. Using it with 1K (one-component) paints is not recommended and may lead to improper curing or coating failure.

How much accelerator should I add?

The exact amount varies depending on the specific 2K product being used and the desired drying speed. Always consult the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for both the U-Pol Rocket Paint Accelerator and the coating product for the recommended mixing ratio.

What is the shelf life of U-Pol Rocket Paint Accelerator?

When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, the shelf life is typically as indicated by the manufacturer. Refer to the product packaging or U-Pol's technical documentation for specific expiry dates.

Can this product be used in cold temperatures?

While it accelerates drying, performance can still be affected by very low ambient temperatures. Always check the TDS for temperature guidelines for both the coating and the accelerator.

Will using this accelerator affect the gloss level?

When used at the recommended dosage, it should not negatively impact the gloss level. However, over-application or improper mixing can lead to surface issues that may affect gloss.

Troubleshooting

Paint/clear coat is not hardening as expected.

Verify that the accelerator was added in the correct ratio and mixed thoroughly. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the product's recommended application range. Check if the 2K hardener was also correctly added.

Surface defects (e.g., dullness, cracking) after application.

This may indicate over-addition of the accelerator or incorrect mixing. Review the TDS for precise ratios and ensure thorough, but not excessive, mixing. Allow adequate flash-off time between coats.

Accelerator has a cloudy appearance.

If stored improperly or exposed to extreme temperatures, the product may degrade. Use a fresh, clear batch. Always store according to manufacturer recommendations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly speeds up drying and curing times.
  • Improves workshop productivity and allows for quicker turnaround.
  • Broad compatibility with various 2K systems.
  • Convenient 500ml size for professional use.

Cons

  • Requires precise mixing to avoid adverse effects.
  • Not suitable for all paint types; primarily for 2K systems.
  • Over-application can lead to coating defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Use:

  1. Consult Technical Data Sheet (TDS): Always refer to the TDS for the specific 2K paint, clear, or primer being used, as well as the U-Pol Rocket Paint Accelerator TDS, for exact mixing ratios.
  2. Accurate Measurement: Precisely measure the accelerator according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Over-addition can cause premature curing, film defects, or loss of gloss. Under-addition will result in reduced acceleration.
  3. Thorough Mixing: Mix the accelerator thoroughly into the base product (paint, clear, or primer) until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. Avoid excessive mixing which can introduce air.
  4. Apply Promptly: Apply the mixed product within its recommended pot life.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with U-Pol's range of 2K paints, clears, and primers.
  • Generally compatible with other high-quality 2K automotive paint systems, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure.
  • Not recommended for use with single-component (1K) products or air-dry enamels.

Care & Storage:

  • Store in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames.
  • Ensure the lid is properly secured after each use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
