Product Information

VA5 Catalyst

Stockcode:

Catalyst to be used as part of the Resin Bound Decra®Set UVR binder system for resin bound paving.

Catalyst VA5 is a clear liquid component that has been developed to adapt the curing times of the Resin Bound Decra®Set UVR resin bound system. A small amount of Catalyst VA5 can be added to each batch of Decra®Set UVR to speed up the curing process. On warm summer days where ambient temperatures are relatively high, little or no catalyst is necessary because the warmth of the materials and substrate will, in themselves, accelerate the cure speed. However, on cold winter days where the ambient temperature will not assist the cure in itself, more catalyst will need to be added to the mix in order to bring the cure time down to a matter of hours.

HMS Decorative Surfacing Ltd

HMS have just completed a resin bound courtyard for us and we are delighted with the result. Laura was very efficient and professional in organising the contract and the workmen were very careful and thorough in laying the surface. HMS fully deserve 5 stars - it's been a pleasure dealing with them.

Visited the HMS showroom today. Really helpful staff who talked me through the difference between a resin bound and resin bonded driveway. Could see all the surfaces close up and got a quote straightaway.
