8.2 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.
8.2.1 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.
8.2.2 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 0.8 - 0.12 inches (2–3 mm).
•
Do not over apply the material, as it will pool off the part during cure cycle.
8.2.3 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.
8.2.4 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.
