Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Brush or roller.
• Mixing : Stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Thinner / Cleaner : S101 is used for thinning and cleaning. Mixing ratio with thinner S101 depends mainly on temperature. At 20°C, brush and roller applications will need approx. 1.6 litre thinner S101 for 3.6L ORIGINAL Z117 and 1.4 litre thinner S101 for 3.6L ORIGINAL Z127 or Z137.
• Note : When recoating a special attention should be given toward drying times.
Technical Information
• Color : White or upon request using multicolor machines.
• Volume Solids : 57% (Z117), 37% (Z127), 38% (Z137) (ASTM-D2697)
• Flexibility : Good
• Recommended film thickness : 60-100 microns “dry”
• Theoretical spreading rate : 5.7 m²/L (Z117), 3.7 m²/L (Z127), 3.8 m²/L (Z137) at 100 microns “dry”
• Specific gravity : 1.31 kg/L (Z117), 1.44 kg/L (Z127), 1.42 kg/L (Z137) (DIN 51757)
• Water resistance : Good
• Washability : Excellent
• Abrasian Resistance : Good
• Number of Coats : 2 - 3
• Packaging : 3.6 L in metal can
Surface Preparation
Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust and other contaminants prior to coating.
It is recommended to apply Original on well-prepared surfaces.
PRIMING
Prepare surface in accordance with application instructions for the suitable primer being used:
Concrete: “WT01 or SYN210 Primer”; Wood: “SYN206 Primer or SYN210 Primer”; Steel: “SYN210 Red lead primer”.
The primer should be completely clean, dry and free of oil, grease and other contaminants prior to the next stage.
FILLING “if required”:
Level surfaces in accordance with application instructions for the suitable filler “putty” being used:
Concrete “WT03”; Wood and Metal: “ SYN360 Putty or SYN370 Putty”.
The filler should be completely dry prior to applying undercoat “surfacer”. Be sure filler is clean and free of oil grease and other contaminants when undercoat is applied.
SURFACING “UNDERCOAT”:
It is recommended to apply an undercoat “surfacer” only if filler is applied in accordance with application instructions for the suitable undercoat being used:
CONCRETE: “WT05 or SYN210 Primer used as undercoat”; Wood and Metal: “SYN210 Primer used as undercoat”. The undercoat “surfacer” should be completely dry prior to applying Original. Be sure undercoat “surfacer” is clean and free of oil, grease and other contaminants when Original is applied.
Notes:
•If applied directly on steel, remove all oil, grease, wax… etc from the surface to be coated by thinner S100 or S205. Remove rust and foreign matter using a wire brush. Then clean the surface with a vacuum cleaner, dry
compressed air or a clean brush and wipe the surface by thinner S100 or S205 with a clean cloth.
•Previously painted surfaces: Remove fins, flecks of old paint and other loose material with sandpaper.
Roughen glossy areas by sanding then remove dust prior to coating and wipe the surface by thinner S205
with a clean cloth.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 1½ hours (ASTM-D1640).
• Dry to Handle : 8 hours (ASTM-D1640).
• Note : Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times.
Storing Conditions
• Original Z117, Z127, Z137 have to be kept in a cool and well-ventilated place, protected from heat and direct sunlight. Original Z117, Z127, Z137 are classified under highly flammable materials.
• Shelf life is 18 months from packing date in unopened original containers at 5 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety
• Well-ventilated conditions should be provided during application.
• Do not breathe or inhale mist.
• Wear air-mask and avoid skin or eye contact.
