U-POL S2030 is a high-performance 2K isocyanate activator designed for use with U-POL’s S20 series clear coats and 2K solid color topcoats. This fast-speed variant is specifically engineered to accelerate the curing process, making it the ideal choice for small repairs, individual panels, or for use in cooler workshop environments where standard hardeners may take too long to dry.
Key Performance Features:
- Rapid Through-Cure: Significantly reduces "dust-free" and "handleable" times, allowing for faster shop throughput and quicker assembly of the vehicle.
- Low-Temperature Optimization: Best suited for use in ambient temperatures between 5°C and 15°C, ensuring a reliable cure when the weather is cold.
- SMART Repair Essential: The go-to hardener for localized "spot" repairs, as it minimizes the window for dust contamination in the wet paint film.
- High-Gloss Retention: Despite its speed, it is formulated to allow the paint enough flow to level out, maintaining a brilliant finish without premature "skinning."
- Tough Cross-Linking: Creates a durable, chemical-resistant bond that protects the topcoat from UV rays and environmental hazards.
This hardener is most effective in the following scenarios:
- Spot Repairs: When painting a small area (like a bumper corner or mirror cover), the fast hardener ensures the repair is dry enough to polish in a very short timeframe.
- Winter Conditions: In unheated workshops or during winter months, S2030 prevents the paint from remaining "open" for too long, which can lead to runs or a dull finish.
- Mixing: Always follow the mixing ratio specified on the base product (typically 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1). For 250ml of hardener at a 2:1 ratio, you would mix it with 500ml of paint or clear coat.
