Evercoat Creme Hardeners
Evercoat Creme Hardeners: The Professional's Choice for Reliable Activation
When a body repair is only as good as the mix, the creme hardener you reach for matters more than most technicians realize. Evercoat — a brand under ITW and one of the most recognized names in the creme hardener category — has built its reputation on precisely formulated BPO (benzoyl peroxide) cream hardeners that deliver consistent, predictable results every time.
Evercoat continues to be the most mentioned brand in professional body shops, with 50% of shops citing it when asked what body filler products they use — and that loyalty extends directly to the hardeners that activate those fillers. A great hardener is the backbone of a great repair, and Evercoat engineers its creme hardeners to complement its own extensive line of fillers and putties flawlessly.
Quick-Hardening, Non-Separating Formula
Evercoat’s cream hardeners are quick-hardening and non-separating, formulated specifically for use with body fillers, specialty fillers, and polyester finishing putties. The non-separating characteristic is especially important in a shop environment: hardeners that separate in the tube lead to inconsistent mixing ratios, uneven cure, and compromised repairs. Evercoat’s formulation eliminates that variable.
Available in multiple colors — blue, red, and white — these hardeners allow technicians to visually confirm thorough mixing with the base filler. A uniform color blend across the mixed material is a reliable indicator that the catalyst is evenly distributed and the repair will cure consistently.
Standard and Slow Cure Options
Evercoat understands that shop conditions are never one-size-fits-all. For most everyday repairs, the standard blue or red cream hardener delivers fast activation ideal for high-volume collision shops. For technicians working in elevated temperatures or tackling large-panel applications, the Evercoat Slow BPO Cream Hardener (100364) extends working time in high-temperature conditions or large repair applications.
The Slow Cream Hardener is compatible with a wide range of Evercoat fillers and putties, including Rage® Optex™, Rage® Ultra, Commercial Ultra™, Metal Glaze Optex, Z-Grip® Optex®, Lite Weight® Optex®, Everglass®, Fiber Tech®, and Light Speed™ Optex® Premium Filler. That breadth of compatibility makes it an essential shop staple rather than a specialty item.
