5.1.2 USING Z-BOND
TM
CYANOACRYLATE
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 10 (which can be used with starch models) is available
in 0.5 lb bottles and Z-Bond 100 (which can be used with plaster models) 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, dripped or sprayed.
• 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.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always spray in a vented hood.
• While wearing all protective equipment, insert the spray trigger nozzle into bottle.
• Use cardboard or wax paper to protect the spraying area from
overspray.
• Spray Z-Bond 100 only onto parts that have been oven dried
and are free from moisture (this ensures deepest available
penetration and decreases smoking from reaction with water).
• Keeping the tip of the spray bottle 4 – 6 inches (10 -15 cm)
away from the top of the part begin squeezing the trigger.
• Adjust the tip of the sprayer until the desired spray pattern is
reached.
• Apply the Z-Bond 100 to all upward facing surfaces and sides
of the part. Be sure not to spray the base of the part, as it will
stick to the surface it is sitting on.
• Wait for the top of the part to cure or speed up the process by
using an approved Z-Bond 100 accelerator.
• Turn your part over and apply to any uninfiltrated surfaces.
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.
