Mixing Instructions
•
When using the 250 gm Z-Max kit simply pour the entire contents of the Z-Max Hardener container
into the Z-Max Resin container and mix the two parts thoroughly for two minutes prior to applica-
tion. If less than 250 grams is desired, follow the instructions for mixing by weight or volume.
•
Mix 100 parts Z-Max Resin to 37 parts Z-Max Hardener by weight or 100 parts Z-Max Resin to 41
parts Z-Max Hardener by volume. Mix the two parts thoroughly for two minutes before application.
The material has a working time of 35 minutes in a 425 gram mass. Please be aware of the gel
time while preparing quantities of material as the gel time decreases as the quantity of material
increases. It is recommended not to mix quantities over 425 grams.
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.
