Sherwin‑Williams Finish 1 FH611‑4 Fast Universal Hardener is a liquid hardener formulated for rapid cure of basecoat systems on e‑coat substrates. Packaged in a 1 qt can, it provides the high‑strength cross‑linking required for automotive refinishing and collision repair applications.
Key performance figures include a 15 min dry time at 120 °F and a recoat window of 10–15 min for basecoat. The hardener offers a 1‑hour pot life at 75 °F, allowing ample working time before mixing. With a coverage rate of 627 ft² per gallon at a 1 mil dry film thickness, two coats will typically be required to achieve full hardness. VOC content is 2.2 g/L, meeting low‑emission standards.
Safety handling requires a “Warning” signal word. Use eye protection, chemical‑resistant gloves, and a respirator in a well‑ventilated area. The product has a flash point of 135 °F and carries acute toxicity, aspiration, and flammability hazards; follow H611 first‑aid instructions for inhalation, skin, and ingestion incidents.
