Abstract

PURPOSE:To form the surface layer superior in abrasion resistance by using a specified compound as the effective component of the catalyst for hardening the surface layer. CONSTITUTION:The hardening catalyst contains as the effective component at least one kind of compound selected from the compounds of formula I and the compounds of formula II, and since each of these compounds has an atomic group serviceable like the tertiary amine having a nitrogen atom in the center on a hetero ring, it can harden the surface layer containing a thermosetting resin, thus permitting the surface layer superior in abrasion resistance to be formed. In formula II, R is alkyl, acyl, aryl, arylsulfonyl, or alkoxy.
