August 7, 2024

Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring's Accelera One is an ultra-high-solids coating designed for decorative flake and quartz flooring systems that cures rapidly, enabling the application of two coats within the same day while also providing extended working time for installers. Its strong resistance to harsh chemicals and sterilants makes the versatile product an ideal solution for sensitive environments such as pharmaceutical, biotech, life science and healthcare facilities. 

Key features of Accelera One include: 

  • Fast cure and long working time: In typical ambient temperatures, Accelera One features an extended application time of 20 minutes yet cures quickly – allowing for foot traffic within two hours at 8 mils applied thickness – enabling facilities to resume normal operations. 
  • Ease of application: A simple application process – using squeegee and backroll techniques – combined with sufficient open time and a flexible recoat window of two to 48 hours eases the pressure typically associated with installation of fast-curing products. 
  • Adjustable cure: Cure time can be modified conveniently based on ambient conditions. 
  • Low VOC and ultra-high-solids: With less than 50 grams per liter of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Accelera One is Environmental Protection Agency-compliant across North America and free of “Red List” chemicals. 
  • Outstanding chemical resistance: Accelera One offers exceptional resistance to many harsh chemicals and biopharma sterilants and is UV-stable indoors, ensuring long-lasting performance. 

Designed for dual use as both the grout coat and topcoat in flooring systems, Accelera One is available in a clear gloss finish and comes in 2-, 10- or 50-gallon packaging. Accelera One can be used in any Sherwin-Williams decorative flake or quartz flooring system, and is being featured as the clear grout and topcoat in eight new systems, including: 

Resuflor Deco Flake One – A 1/16-inch-thick system that integrates industrial-grade epoxy with a decorative mosaic flake broadcast and topped with a clear grout coat and Sherwin-Williams Accelera One topcoat. Ideal for research and production facilities, office and employee welfare spaces, cleanrooms, and other moderate-use areas.

Perfect for research and production facilities, office and employee welfare spaces, cleanrooms, and any moderate to heavy-use areas. 

FasTop Deco Flake One – A 3/16- to 1/4-inch-thick heavy-duty system combining a quick-curing, moisture-insensitive cementitious urethane base with a decorative mosaic flake broadcast and finished with a clear grout coat and Accelera One topcoat.
