Mixing & Thinning Instructions
RiteZinc RZ 2k Series is a two component material and requires a
hardener. Agitate each component thoroughly by shaker or mixer
before combining. Mix 4 parts by volume RiteZinc RZ 2k Series with
one part RZ100B hardener. Shake for 10 minutes after combining. If
material will not be used within 10 minutes, re-agitate or use
continuous mixing during application to ensure a uniform consistency
of zinc in the film. No reduction is necessary. If reducing or
thinning is required, please contact your Riteks technical
service representative for instructions.
