Dynamic R Refinish DA-285 Slow Activator 2.5 Liters - DA-285

Dynamic R Refinish DA-285 Slow Activator – 2.5 Liters

The Dynamic R Refinish DA-285 Slow Activator is a professional-grade polyurethane hardener engineered for use with Dynamic R Refinish high-solids clearcoats. Designed for moderate to warm shop temperatures, DA-285 provides controlled curing that enhances flow, leveling, and overall finish quality.

With a 2:1 mixing ratio and 4.2 VOC compliance, this slow activator extends working time without sacrificing cure stability. It allows solvents to properly release during application, resulting in improved surface smoothness, reduced orange peel, and consistent gloss development across panels.

Why DA-285 Is Better Than Similar Activators

• Balanced Cure Speed – Slower than standard activators but faster than extra-slow options, giving painters optimal control in everyday shop conditions.
• Improved Flow and Leveling – Extended open time helps the clearcoat lay flatter, minimizing texture and reducing post-paint correction.
• Reduced Dieback – Promotes stable film formation, helping maintain gloss and clarity after air dry or bake cycles.
• Versatile Temperature Range – Ideal for medium to warm booth temperatures and larger repair areas.
• System-Matched Performance – Specifically formulated to work with Dynamic R clearcoats for predictable results and consistent quality.
