a substance added to the adhesive that causes a chemical reaction which cures the adhesive
second chemical component required for activating the cross-linking reaction of prepolymers, in order to manufacture thermosets or elastomers
A substance that reacts with resin to promote or control curing action.
A substance or mixture of substances added to an adhesive composition to promote the curing reaction; hardeners become part of the cured adhesive compound (see also catalyst)
A substance or mixture of substance added to a material to increase or control the curing reaction by taking part in it.
A necessary component specifically designed to ensure cure of an enamel finish. Another name for an activator.
A substance or substance blend that, when added to a material, enhances or controls the curing reaction by participating in it.
Curing agent for epoxies or fiberglass.
A substance used to promote or control curing action by taking part in it; as opposed to catalyst.
A reactive chemical which causes a resin to cure; a curing agent.
A substance added to an adhesive that promotes curing and controls hardness. Usually Part B of a two-part adhesive.
An activator curing agent, catalyst or cross-linking agent.
additive for inks, especially two-part epoxy inks, that chemically reacts with binder to increase durability.
An additive used to cure or promote the cure of resins in a paint coating.
Material used to speed cure of an enamel.
A substance or mixture added to a plastic composition to promote or control the curing action by taking part in it. The term is also used to designate a substance added to control the degree of hardness of the cured film.
A substance or mixture of substances added to an epoxy resin to promote or control the curing reaction by taking part in it.
A material or mixture of substances added to a plastic composition which cross links another material, typically a polymer. See Curing Agent.
A chemical added to "cure" a thermosetting resin., i.e., it reacts with specific functional groups in the resin to chemically create cross-links which results in a 3-dimensional polymer network. Since a phase change usually occurs, a liquid pre-preg or stage B resin is said to be "hardened" by use of the hardener. In this process it changes to a stage C resin.
Curing agent; promoter; and catalyst used in making and finishing concrete.
Additive used in concrete or any compound to make it set up harder.
