(2.5OZ) POLYESTER HARDENER/POLY PRIMER
PCL® 998-2 Hardener is a clear, liquid catalyst supplied in a 2 oz can for use with Pacific Coast Lacquer's PCL 998 basecoat system. It is formulated to activate the coating for high-gloss automotive finishes and is commonly applied in professional body shop spray booths.
Mixed at a ratio of 0.5 oz hardener to one quart of base, the blend provides a pot life of approximately 30-35 minutes at 77 °F, allowing ample working time before flash begins. The cured film yields coverage of 911 ft² per mil and adheres to bare metal, fiberglass, plastic, polyester, primer, and wood substrates, delivering consistent thickness across varied repair panels.
Handling requires standard PPE: eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator in well-ventilated areas. The product has a flash point of 169 °F and is classified for acute toxicity, aquatic toxicity, carcinogenicity, eye damage, flammability, and skin corrosion.
Application Guide
- Clean and degrease the substrate (bare metal, fiberglass, plastic, polyester, primer, or wood) to ensure a contaminant-free surface.
- Mix 0.5 oz of PCL 998-2 Hardener with one quart of the corresponding base resin; stir thoroughly.
- Apply the mixed coating within the pot life of 30-35 minutes at 77 °F (use spray or brush as appropriate).
- Allow the applied coat to dry before handling; no specific cure time is provided in the data.
