Types of Cromax hardener
Applied with the paint, the hardener acts by transforming the resin. It is known as a hydro base catalyst. Applied with the clearcoat and primer, it will harden the mixture. It gives a hard structure to the final result. The aim is to improve bodywork protection. The paint hardener forms a cross-linked film.
In the range of hardeners, the Cromax brand offers 1L and 5L cans and different types of products to suit all uses:
In the range of hardeners, the Cromax brand offers 1L and 5L cans and different types of products to suit all uses:
- Standard hardeners;
- Slow hardeners;
- Fast hardeners.
You will also find drying accelerators, such as431R drying accelerator and Cromax activators like XK203 rapid hardener, XK205 medium hardener and XK206 slow hardeneravailable in fast, standard and slow formats. This distinction between types corresponds to the speed with which your product will act once it has been added. Note that fast hardeners are formulated for shallow, more general applications, while standard and slow hardeners are thicker and suitable for deeper, larger applications.
The choice of hardener depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the material to be treated, the depth of the layer to be applied (the porosity of the substrate), the nature of the coating and, finally, the desired drying speed. If you can't make up your mind or pinpoint your needs, Colorbox has a responsive customer service team to deal with all your requests. Our experts also give you their top tips for selecting and applying your paint hardener.

Who is Cromax hardener designed for?
Hardeners are designed for bodywork professionals to help them carry out repair and coating work. Applying a hardener effectively protects the car paintwork and, above all, helps it to dry.

Hardeners are also recommended to reinforce the resistance of the vehicle's paintwork and extend its life. There are several advantages to using a hardener:
- Makes the mixture thicker for various applications;
- Improves the chemical and mechanical resistance of the paint film;
- Improve robustness in the face of external stress;
- Extends the life of car paint.
How do I use Cromax hardener?
Before applying your car painting hardener, we recommend you follow the instructions on the product label. As a general rule, to achieve the ideal aesthetic result, you should :
- Clean the surface of the bodywork to be protected;
- Degrease the surface;
- Unwrap the surface to be treated if necessary.
Once these steps have been completed, you can apply your Cromax hardener mixed with the paint. To mix hardener and paint successfully, you must comply with the following requirements;
- Start by pouring the required amount of hardener into a container;
- Add the paint by multiplying the volume by two, i.e. for 1 litre of hardener, mix 2 litres of paint (if necessary, check the packaging for the exact quantity to use);
- Mix everything together and stir slowly to obtain a smooth result and avoid lumps forming.
It is important to respect the doses to be added in order to guarantee a good result. For application, you can use a basecoat spraygun to spray the hardener-paint mixture. Two to 3 coats are generally applied, with a flash time of 15 minutes between coats.
Finally, don't forget to protect yourself when applying the products. Hardeners and other mixtures used to paint car bodies contain chemicals that can be hazardous to health. So follow the safety rules, in particular wearing protective clothing and washing your hands after use. Think about the environment too, and dispose of product residues in dedicated containers.
