INFILTRATING THE PART WITH Z-KOTE RESINS
All parts can be infiltrated with a variety of resins to produce a range of material properties. As an early stage
design tool, it may not be necessary to infiltrate the parts at all. However, the true versatility of the Z Corp. System
is derived from the spectrum of material properties that can be achieved by applying one of our infiltration materials
to parts. For additional information on how Z Corp. customers are utilizing our line of infiltration products, call us
at Z Corporation, or visit our user group website at www.zcorp-users.com. Here you will find a variety of application
stories and technical tips that describe the many ways that our system can benefit your operation.
USING Z-MAX
TM
EPOXY
Z-Max epoxy is a high strength epoxy infiltration system specifically formulated for Z Corporation. Z-Max epoxy
is a low viscosity, high strength, infiltration system designed to fortify both starch and plaster-based parts built on
all of Z Corporation’s three-dimensional printers. Z Corp. parts infiltrated with Z-Max epoxy are easily sanded
and are surface machinable.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear lab coat, gloves (we recommend PVC 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.
• Please read the Material Safety Data Sheet for Z-Max epoxy prior to the use of this material.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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
• Material can be brushed or sprayed.
• Material will penetrate between 0.079- 0.28 (2 – 7 mm).
• Do not over apply the material, as it will pool off the part during
curing.
• Better penetration depth is achieved by applying several light coats
of material.
• Allow all mixed materials to cure prior to disposal.
