Majic 0.5 pt. Catalyst Hardener, Clear

A: Hi Neighbor! Yes, you should mix the hardener with the paint immediately before application. For spraying, the recommended ratio is 16 parts enamel to 1 part hardener, and you may also include a reducer at a ratio of 8 parts enamel to 1 part reducer for proper atomization.

A: Hi Neighbor- No, this product is an isocyanate-based chemical rather than MEKP. It is specifically described as an aromatic isocyanate catalyst designed to react with the alkyd in Majic Tractor & Implement Enamel.

A: Hi Neighbor- Yes, the Majic Catalyst Hardener can be applied by brush, as it is a component of a system that is designed for brush application, but you will also need a compatible paint, like Majic Tractor Truck & Implement Enamel. You'll need to mix the hardener with the host paint and apply according to the specific product's instructions.

A: Hi Bill! Yes. This product is compatible with alkyd-based paints, including Sherwin-Williams Industrial Alkyd Enamel Gloss, and can improve drying time, hardness, and durability of the finish.

A: Hi Neighbor! This enamel hardener elevates the performance of finishes in heavy industrial services, caustic environments and high maintenance areas.

A: It is not recommended by the manufacturer to use this product with anything other than Majic Tractor Truck & Implement Enamel and Majic Rust Kill Enamels.

A: Majic Catalyst Hardener Clear 8-0950-4 is an isocyanate-based chemical that reacts with the alkyd in Majic Tractor & Implement Enamel to enable the product to dry faster, achieve additional hardness and develop the highest possible gloss. Once added into the enamel, the paint needs to be immediately applied. In a sealed and unopened container, stored indoors in a controlled environment, Majic Catalyst Hardener Clear 8-0950-4 has a minimum shelf life of 2 years from its manufacturing date. Majic Catalyst Hardener Clear 8-0950-4 is sensitive to moisture. Once the container is opened and exposed to air, particularly humidity, gassing and drying of product will occur. It is best if all the product is used withing 30 days after opening container.

A: The proper ratio for adding Majic Tractor & Implement Enamels to Majic Catalyst Hardener is 16:1 (16 parts Majic T&I Enamel to 1 part Majic Catalyst Hardener)… the proper ratio for mixing Majic T&I Enamels with Majic Reducer is 8:1 (8 parts Majic T&I Enamel to 1 part Majic Catalyst Hardener). The correct ratio for mixing all 3 components together is 8:1:1/2 (or 16:2:1, with the first number T&I Enamel, the second number Reducer, and the third Catalyst Hardener). At this ratio, you will use 2X the amount of Reducer as Catalyst Hardener). Please understand that with Majic Reducer this is a plus/minus ratio, meaning that more, or less, may be used to ensure proper atomization and flow & leveling of applied product – and will be determined by your spray equipment, the atmospheric conditions at the time of application, and of course your own personal preferences (though 8:1 is a good place to start). Also, read & follow label instructions carefully with particular attention to the recommended applied thickness (recommended @ 2.5 mils wet) of Majic T&I Enamels, and the “allowable” re-coat times (24 hours – minimum). This time of year, be aware that application, and drying, during cooler temps and/or higher humidity will affect the actual dry-through time of the applied product, and may require additional time between coats. For best results, apply in an environment where the surface temperature is above 50° (best @ 70°F.), and remains reasonably constant for 12-16 hours following application.
