Catalysts for Coatings and Composite Systems

Catalysts are essential components in many industrial coatings and aircraft composites systems. Catalysts are designed to help speed up chemical reactions, like curing or hardening, so your materials perform as expected. Whether you're working with paints, resins or cleaning agents, the right catalyst can make the difference between a reliable finish and a failed application. In fast-paced production and maintenance settings, catalysts help keep projects moving on schedule.

Catalysts aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution to your curing and bonding needs. They must be carefully matched with your base material to activate properly without compromising the quality of the coating or composite. These products often come in liquid form and are added in precise ratios to initiate polymerization, curing or chemical breakdown. When handled and applied correctly, catalysts improve working time, surface quality and longevity.
