In the Hardeners category you’ll find curing agents (hardeners) for two-component paint and clear coat systems. These products activate the chemical cross-linking and determine the final mechanical and chemical properties. The range includes MS, HS, UHS and Epoxy hardeners.
Why are hardeners important in paint and clear coat systems?
Hardeners are essential components in two-component paint and clear coat systems. They trigger the chemical curing process that provides mechanical strength, chemical resistance and finish durability. Choosing the right hardener influences drying time, flexibility and overall coating performance.
Available hardener types
MS hardener
- medium performance curing agent
- suitable for general-purpose systems
- balanced drying and flexibility
HS hardener
- high performance hardener
- faster drying time
- improved mechanical resistance and smoother finish
UHS hardener
- ultra high solids hardener
- premium performance
- excellent hardness and durability
Epoxy hardener
- for epoxy-based systems
- superior adhesion and corrosion resistance
- ideal for metal and heavy-duty applications
Benefits
- activate full curing of two-component systems
- enhance mechanical and chemical resistance
- influence drying time and film build
- deliver durable and smooth finishes
What to consider when choosing a hardener?
- type of paint or clear coat (MS, HS, UHS, Epoxy)
- desired drying speed
- environmental temperature and humidity
- required hardness and flexibility
- compatibility with paint system
Frequently asked questions
Why do we use hardeners?
Hardeners activate the curing process in two-component coatings, ensuring the coating properly hardens.
What’s the difference between MS and HS hardeners?
MS hardeners offer balanced performance, whereas HS hardeners provide faster curing and enhanced mechanical properties.
When should epoxy hardeners be used?
Epoxy hardeners are used with epoxy systems for superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
