TC-Additive

TC-Additive is a solvent-free additive to thin coat renders, used to reduce the drying time of synthetic resin renders under low temperature conditions.

TC-Additive helps promote the drying of synthetic resin plaster coatings in the temperature range of approx. + 5 °C to + 15 °C. Early rainproofing is also achieved when using TC-Additive.

ACCELERATOR

This liquid additive is used to reduce the setting time for K Systems renders, including Base Coats, Dash Receiver and Scraped Texture renders. It accelerates the curing time meaning that the renders set faster or may be scraped earlier, enabling quicker completion of the job.
