About this product

An additive, not a sealant: it shortens the cure of Dynatrol II, DynaTred and DynaFlex. With no accelerator Dynatrol II opens to traffic in 5 to 7 days at 70°F; with 30 mL it opens in 12 to 24 hours. The cost is work life, which drops from 2 hours to 60 minutes.

Using this specific product

Pecora 255 Accelerator is listed here as the Cure accelerator for Dynatrol and DynaTred sealants version for urethane sealant cure. For sealing a joint, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Cure accelerator for Dynatrol and DynaTred sealants; related versions can use different timing.
  • For urethane sealant cure, pay particular attention to joint depth, tooling, ventilation and exposure to water.
  • At 70°F (21°C).

How to check readiness

Probe an inconspicuous edge for a continuous skin and follow the stated water-exposure milestone. The data sheet gives 12 to 24 hours to open to traffic for Dynatrol II with 30 mL of accelerator.

Avoid this mistake

Surface skin is not the same as through-cure, especially in a deep joint.
