ZINGA Various Application Methods
ZINGA can be applied using a normal paintbrush (natural hairs) or a short-fibre roller for smaller applications or to perform a stripe-coat.
In order to fill the profile of the substrate better, it is advised to dilute ZINGA 3-5% (mass on mass – see below dilution table).
This will give a smoother finish.
It is always recommended to treat corners, sharp edges, bolts and nuts with a stripe coat (by brush) before applying a uniform coat by spray.
For more technical data, see ZINGA Technical Data Sheet.
ZINGA Application by Conventional Spray
ZINGA can be applied using a conventional spray gun. In order to ensure good circulation of the ZINGA, it should be diluted 10 to 20% (mass on mass – see below dilution table) depending on pressure at the nozzle and nozzle opening.
More dilution for the same nozzle will give a smoother surface finish (less porous).
For more technical data, see ZINGA Technical Data Sheet.
ZINGA Application by Airless Spray
ZINGA can be applied using an airless spray gun. A 19 thou tip is best for general application, narrow or wide fan as the job requires.
In order to ensure good circulation of the ZINGA, it should be diluted 5 to 7% (mass on mass – see below dilution table) depending on pressure at the nozzle and nozzle opening. More dilution for the same nozzle will give a smoother surface finish (less porous).
For more technical data, see ZINGA Technical Data Sheet.
