High Teck 1020-16 Urethane Paint Catalyst is a liquid hardener formulated for use with the 2.8 VOC Single Stage 1400 Series paints. Designed for professional body shop applications, it provides reliable cross-linking in urethane topcoats to achieve durable finishes on e-coat and primer substrates.
The catalyst offers a minimum pot life of 2 hours at 77 °F, allowing ample working time before mixing expires. Flash time is rapid, ranging from 10-15 minutes, and tack-free time is achieved in approximately 30 minutes, supporting efficient production cycles without sacrificing film integrity. Zero VOC formulation complies with low-emission requirements while maintaining performance.
Handling requires standard PPE: eye protection, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator in confined spaces. The material has a flash point of 47 °C (116.6 °F) and is classified under GHS hazards for acute toxicity, skin corrosion, eye damage, flammability, aquatic toxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, and respiratory sensitization. Follow H226, H315, H317, H319, H334, and H351 safety statements during use.
