resinhardener
A resin hardener, also called a curing agent, is a chemical component that reacts with a resin to form a cross-linked polymer network. It is usually stored separately from the resin and mixed in a specified ratio before use. The exact composition and amount of hardener determine the cure temperature, processing time, and final properties of the material.
Different resin systems use different hardeners. In epoxy resins, common hardeners include amines, anhydrides, and blends
The curing process is influenced by temperature and mixing ratio. Pot life is the period after mixing
Safety and handling are important. Many hardeners are hazardous, irritants, or corrosive and can release fumes
