Z-Bond cyanoacrylate is an extremely fast setting, low viscosity, general-purpose infiltration

resin. This resin is designed to rapidly strengthen parts. Z-Bond is a one part, user friendly, no-

odor, non-blooming resin that may eliminate the need for special ventilation. This resin is easily

sanded and enhances the vibrancy of color parts. Z-Bond 100 is available in 3.5 ounce bottles

and 24 ounce spray bottles.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use or handle this product until the Material Safety Data Sheet has been read and

understood.

• Wear lab coat, gloves (we recommend Nitrile Examination Gloves), face shield or goggles.

Face shield is required if spraying. Apply in ventilated hood.

• Specialized containers recommended for dispensing and application. System for avoiding

spills: Catch pan, waxed paper, or plastic drop cloth.

• Label disposal materials.

• Wear dust mask when sanding finished parts.

GENERAL APPLICATION NOTES

• Part should be fully dried before applying resin. Resin reacts with water and produces heat.

If the part is not dried, it will heat up the part and produce gas that may be an irritant to the

mucous membranes.

• Material can be brushed or dripped.

• Material will penetrate between 0.08 - 0.12 inches (2–3 mm).

• Do not over apply the material, as it will pool off the part during cure cycle.

CURING INFORMATION

• The part should be placed on a non-stick material (wax paper, Teflon, etc.) to prevent it

from adhering to the surface it is sitting on while curing.

• Wear gloves when handling the parts to avoid contact with uncured resin.

• Parts will attain full strength in two minutes.

TIPS

• Always infiltrate the most delicate features of the part first. Z-Bond resin gives almost

immediate strength to the area of the part that has been infiltrated. As you handle the

areas of the part that have been infiltrated it will be less likely to break it.

• Try to avoid infiltrating the part by applying Z-Bond resin from spot to spot. Pick a good

starting place hold that area upward relative to the rest of the part. With your free hand,

place the tip of the Z-Bond bottle against the part and allow the cyanoacrylate (CA) to

flow from the bottle. It is important that the CA flows at a uniform rate making it easier

for you the judge how quickly it will flow from the tip of the bottle before it wicks into the

part. By seeing how quickly it wicks into the part you will be able to judge where and

how quickly to move the tip of the bottle while applying the CA, being sure not to apply

the CA to the same place more than once.
