Paint Catalysts & Hardeners

Paint Catalysts and Hardeners

When painting in tough environments, you can’t always wait for your paint’s natural dry time. Tractor Supply helps you out with our selection of paint catalysts and hardeners. These additives help paint cure quickly for a harder, glossier finish, making them an essential investment for all automotive and industrial painting applications.

A Faster, Tougher Cure

Paint takes time to cure. When you are working in a heavy industrial environment or with trucks and automotive applications, you might not have the luxury of waiting through your paint’s recommended dry time. The longer you wait, the more you risk your hard work being ruined by debris, inclement weather or human interference.

Our paint catalysts and hardeners let you accelerate the drying time when necessary. The catalysts trigger a chemical reaction that quickly polymerizes the paint, linking molecules to force a faster cure. The hardening process also improves the paint’s film quality. Once cured, the paint will have better adhesion, improved durability and a high-gloss finish that is ideal for automotive, power tools and other hard-working applications where resilience is required.

Ideal for Industrial and Agricultural Applications

Our paint catalysts are designed with tough environments in mind. Whether you are painting in high-maintenance areas, hard-working industrial zones or agricultural settings that are exposed to debris and the elements, our catalysts will help you create a quick and durable cure. Not only will the cured paint improve the look of your vehicles and equipment, but it will also provide rugged protection against rust, scratches, chemicals and other potential damage.

Works with a Variety of Paint Products

Are you working with oil-based exterior paint? Automotive paint? Marine paint? No matter what type of paint your project calls for, our catalysts can apply. They work with almost any type of oil-based product to shorten dry times and improve the durability of their cure.

Finish with a Lacquer Clear Coat

In addition to paint hardeners, we also carry lacquer clear coats. This premium clear coat product is applied on top of cured tractor and automotive paint. The lacquer creates a high-gloss coating that protects the underlying paint against scratches, chips and fading. When you use it with a hardener, you can craft an ultra-strong paint job that will stand up to nearly anything you throw at it. The clear coat also creates a brighter, glossier finish for a striking appearance.

Dries Clear for Discreet Use

While you need paint to dry quickly, you don’t want to make even more of a mess. Our paint catalysts and hardeners are formulated to dry clear. Not only will they not interfere with the color of your coat, but their spills are nearly invisible, so you don’t need to worry about unsightly stains.
