curing agent
This term is primarily used in industrial chemistry, materials science, and construction. It refers to the catalyst or reactant that transforms a liquid or soft resin into a rigid, durable solid. While "hardener" is a common synonym in consumer-grade products (like two-part glues), "curing agent" is the preferred technical term in professional and scientific contexts.
Because this is a compound noun consisting of a gerund and a noun, the countability is determined by the headword "agent." It is used when referring to specific types of chemicals or individual units of a substance used in a mixture.
