    Polymer Catalyzing Additives

    Professional painters add chemicals and compounds to their paint mix prior to painting to promote cross-linking, improve paint flexibility, reduce paint imperfections, increase hardness, and improve gloss. The same line of thinking has been used in the development of polymer catalyzing additives

    Duragloss 601 Polish Bonding Agent is specifically formulated to significantly extend the life of synthetic polish/sealants this catalyzing agent works in a similar way to an Epoxy with part A and part B, and will chemically bond when it comes into contact with /synthetic polishes

    Zaino ZFX™, with Flash Cure™ is a catalyzing additive formulated to accelerate cross-linking. All polymer sealant systems must form a molecular bond (cure) before they can effectively protect your paint. It provides durability, promotes faster drying time and instantly cross-links to the paint surface

    Polycharger ® Wax Booster - all modern car waxes and paint sealants use polymer technology for shine and protection. Polymers are long molecules capable of interlinking to form a mesh type matrix. This interlocking capability, called cross-linking, is what gives polymers their strength and durability, most waxes do not fully cross-link with the paint film surface.

    A Polycharger additive is both a polymer booster and catalyzing agent; the booster component adds two polymers, one is formulated for high temperature extremes and the other for highly corrosive environments. When introduced to oxygen, the catalyzing agent hyper-activates the liquid polymers to cross-link.

    There are two different formulations; Polycharger® CH2 for solvent-based liquid waxes and Polycharger® H2O for water-based liquid wax products (including most quick detailing (QD) sprays).

    There are a few cases where Polycharger® and a wax product are incompatible; apply the mixture to a small area, allow it to dry, and buff off thoroughly to ascertain the results. If the product clumps, or if you experience any streaking, do not use the mixture.
