Hardeners/Activators
Hardeners, activators and catalysts are important – and many times required – components of various coatings systems. It is important to always choose the correct product based on the coating to be applied and anticipated shop conditions. Using the wrong type of hardener, activator or catalyst or choosing the inappropriate one based on temperatures may lead to application defects.

The following is a quick reference guide to help you make the right decision about which hardener, activator and/or catalyst to use.
