GENERAL APPLICATION NOTES
• Material can be brushed or sprayed.
• Material will penetrate between 0.079-0.28 inches (2 – 7 mm).
• Material will pool off the part during curing, if it is over-applied.
• Better penetration depth is achieved by applying several light coats of material.
• Allow all mixed materials to cure prior to disposal.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
• Use Gravity Feed High Volume Low Pressure Sprayer (Z
Corp. Part # 14206). We recommend Devilbiss Sprayer with 14 –
18 mm tip. Other sprayers are compatible, however the use of a
HVLP sprayer will minimize the amount of overspray generated.
The Devilbiss Sprayer is available with disposable canister liners
(Z Corp. Part # 14207). and will minimize the amount of cleanup.
• Have the sprayer, parts and materials ready before mixing the
resin.
• Mix resin and pour into the disposable liner in the canister.
• Always spray in a vented hood. Use of a respirator is also
recommended.
• Spray resin between 15 – 20 psi.
• When finished, remove the disposable liner and clean sprayer
with ethyl alcohol or acetone.
• Remove the tip and thoroughly clean by hand to avoid resin build up. (Cleanup takes
approximately 15 minutes).
CURING INFORMATION
• Allow the part to cure for 1 hour at ambient temperature to avoid discoloration prior to
placing in the oven for accelerated cure.
• The resin can be cured at an accelerated rate in an oven. The oven must be vented.
Ventilation designs need to meet each customer’s respective governmental health and safety
requirements. A reference frequently used by U.S. firms to comply with OSHA regulations is
the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Industrial Ventilation
Manual.
• At 160°F (71 °C) your part will reach full strength in 2 hours.
• 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 when they are still at an elevated temperature. Parts
will attain full strength and be safe to handle once they cool to room temperature.
• The resin will cure at room temperature after 24 hours.
