A chemical which causes a resin to cure; a hardening agent.
A cross-linking agent that reacts with a resin to form a copolymer.
See accelerator, catalyst, hardener.
One part of a multi-part sealant which, when added to the base, will cause the base to change its physical state by chemical reaction between the two parts.
A reactive chemical which causes a resin to cure. Also called hardener.
A catalytic or reactive agent that brings about polymerization when it is added to a resin.
Functional component of coating formulation, which reacts with liquid resins during the film forming process to give hard, insoluble films. Syn. Crosslinking agent
Part of a sealant; causes a base to change its physical state by chemical reaction.
A secondary compound, usually liquid, which when added to the primary compound brings about hardening, solidifying, or stabilization of the entire mixture. Synonymous with activator, catalyst.
A chemical which reacts with an adhesive polymer to cause solidification. Approximately equal amounts of adhesive resin and curing agent are mixed together to form a solid adhesive. Usually Part A of a two-part adhesive.
A hardener or activator added to a synthetic resin to develop the proper film forming properties.
A chemical which is added to effect a cure in a polymer.
A catalytic or reactive agent used to promote, enhance or control the curing reaction and aid in property development. The addition of a curing agent to an epoxy resin causes polymerization.
A catalytic or reactive agent which when added to resin causes polymerization.
Catalytic or reactive agent that brings about polymerization when added to a resin. Syn. Crosslinking agent, Hardener For more information, Visit our Curing agents Center.
