Curing Agent
A curing agent is a chemical substance used to harden or cure resins, coatings, and adhesives through chemical crosslinking reactions. These agents react with functional groups in the base resin to form a three-dimensional network, imparting mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability. Curing agents are essential in epoxy, polyurethane, and other thermosetting resin systems used across industrial and protective coating applications.
