There are two types of accelerators (aka kickers) used by consumers: acetone-based, and heptane-based. Acetone-based accelerators are the fastest, but they create a very exothermic reaction that can boil the CA and cause bubbles to form in the glue, which is called blooming. Acetone-based accelerators will also eat into paint and other finishes, not to mention blistering the skin if it contacts flesh. Mercury Adhesives uses heptane as its base. It has a slightly slower reaction, but is far less exothermicso no blooming or blistering. When used in conjunction with Mercury Flex products, Mercurys accelerator will create a purely crystalline depth to the finish. It also is foam and paint friendly.
Features:
- 8 oz refill of CA Glue Accelerator
- Heptane-based CA glue accelerator
- Used for normal curing of cyanoacrylates
- Deposits a correct balance of neutralizing ions on the surface, stimulating attrition for the adhesive and preparing the surface for bonding
- Safe for any substrate
- Backed by Mercurys 100% unconditional guarantee
- Made in the USA
Specifications:
- Color: Clear
- Size: 8 ounce refill bottle
- Cure Speed: <5 seconds
- Cured Performance is dependent on the adhesive viscosity. Low viscosity being faster to set <5 seconds and higher viscosity <10 seconds, gels dependent on techniques <30 seconds
What’s Included:
- (1) Mercury Adhesives – CA Glue Accelerator – 8 oz Refill Bottle
