PC-50 THICKENER/ACCELERATOR
Basecoat Thickener / Accelerator

Product Description
PC-50 is a single component, proprietary liquid thickener/ Technical Data (Based on Draw Down Film)
accelerator for Polycoat Products base membranes. This
accelerator enhances the moisture curing characteristics that Pot Life at 75°F (24°C). 50% R.H. 15-20 minutes
accelerates the cure time and causes the coating to thicken.
PC-50 is designed to be used with the following waterproofing Mixing Ratio (PC-50:Base 1:20
base membranes: PC-220, PC-220SC, PC-235, PC-235SC, PC- Membrane)
440, PC-440SC and PC-440SF.
