Render Accelerator reduces the curing time of silicone and acrylic renders, allowing faster job completion and improved efficiency on site. It helps maintain the performance and appearance of the render while mitigating the challenges posed by cold or damp conditions.

It’s important to note that Render Accelerator doesn’t cause the render to dry instantly. Instead, it protects the render surface during colder nights, helping it to set evenly and consistently.

Using EWI-020 Render Accelerator provides several benefits:

• Enables rendering in colder weather conditions

• Reduces drying time by up to 50%

• Prevents the render from freezing overnight

• Maintains render appearance and performance

• Improves project efficiency and flexibility

In short, it helps you stay on schedule even when temperatures drop below the ideal curing range for renders.

To use EWI-020 Render Accelerator, pour it directly into a bucket of render before mixing. Thoroughly mix with a paddle mixer to achieve a consistent texture.

• Mix 100ml of EWI-020 per 25kg bucket of render

• Do not add water to the mixture

• Mix until the render reaches a smooth, workable consistency

This additive is suitable for all colour-through textured renders, such as EWI-075 Silicone Render, EWI-076 Premium Bio Silicone Render, EWI-040 Silicone Silicate Render and EWI-077 Nano Drex Silicone Render.

Only 100ml of EWI-020 Render Accelerator is needed per 25kg bucket of render. Using more than the recommended amount will not accelerate the drying process further and could affect the performance of the render.

No, EWI-020 Render Accelerator has no negative effect on the colour or texture of silicone or acrylic renders. It is suitable for colour-through textured renders and maintains the original finish and tone.

No, adding multiple bottles of Render Accelerator to one bucket will not make the render cure faster. The correct dosage is 100ml per 25kg of render. Using more than this will not enhance performance.

The ideal conditions for applying silicone render are:

• Temperature: Between 5°C and 25°C

• Humidity: Moderate levels are ideal

• Weather: Avoid direct sunlight, heavy rain or strong winds

The substrate should also be within the same temperature range and dry before application. EWI-020 helps stabilise performance when conditions are less than ideal, especially during colder or more humid periods.

Store EWI-020 Render Accelerator in its original packaging in a cool, dry place. It has a shelf life of up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
