RDH-8433 Fast Cure Hardener — Quart
RDH-8433 Fast Cure Hardener is a rapid-reacting epoxy hardener formulated for room-temperature use when quick turnaround is essential. It develops handling strength fast and reaches a durable cure suitable for bonding, laminating, coating, and time-critical repairs.
Size: Quart (32 fl oz / 0.95 L). Use only with a compatible RDH epoxy resin (resin sold separately).
Key Benefits
- Fast cure at ambient temps for short recoat and clamp times.
- High bond strength on composites, wood, and many metals.
- Low color / workable viscosity for clear finishes and easy wet-out.
- Low-blush formulation (if blush occurs, it removes easily with water wash).
- Durable final properties with excellent adhesion and chemical resistance after full cure.
Typical Applications
- Hand layup and small vacuum-bag laminates
- Structural bonding, fillets, and secondary bonding
- Coating, sealing, fairing, and field repairs
- Mold/plug work where short cycle times are needed
Mixing & Use
- Mix with the matching RDH epoxy resin at the ratio specified on the system TDS (by volume or weight).
- Measure accurately and blend thoroughly, scraping cup sides and bottom to ensure a uniform mix.
- Apply in thin films or small batches to control exotherm; large masses gel faster.
- If amine blush is observed, wash with water and a light abrasive pad before sanding or recoating.
Safety
- Wear gloves and eye protection; provide adequate ventilation.
- Avoid skin contact; wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
- Refer to the product SDS for full precautions and first-aid guidance.
Note: Pot life, gel time, cure schedule, and recoat windows vary with resin selection, batch size, and shop temperature. For exact processing parameters, consult the RDH-8433 Technical Data Sheet.
