ZF600 is a single-component adhesion promoter formulated specifically for plastic substrates in automotive refinishing. This transparent coating is designed to improve the bond between subsequent paint layers and low-surface-energy plastics such as polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The transparent formulation allows the original substrate color to remain visible, which supports accurate color matching during the topcoat application process. ZF600 is supplied ready for use and does not require thinning, making it suitable for high-volume collision repair centers and commercial refinishing operations.

ZF600 is a one-component (1K) product that can be applied directly from the container without the addition of hardener or thinner. This eliminates mixing errors, reduces preparation time, and avoids pot-life limitations associated with two-component systems. The ready-to-spray format is useful in workshop environments where operators need to move efficiently between repair jobs.
The clear film of ZF600 does not alter the visual appearance of the underlying plastic component. This is relevant when repairing textured or colored plastic parts where the base material must remain visible to guide subsequent basecoat and clearcoat applications. The transparent layer also allows technicians to inspect the substrate for surface defects after priming.
At a temperature of 25°C, ZF600 reaches a state where the topcoat can be applied after approximately 5 minutes. This flash-off interval helps reduce overall repair cycle time and supports throughput in commercial body shops. Actual drying times may vary depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and applied film thickness.
ZF600 is formulated for use on properly prepared PP and ABS surfaces. Before application, the substrate must be thoroughly cleaned to remove mold release agents, grease, silicone, and other contaminants. The surface should then be sanded using 800# to 1000# grit sandpaper to create a mechanical profile for adhesion. After sanding, the surface must be cleaned again with a suitable degreaser and allowed to dry completely. ZF600 is not recommended for use on untreated polyolefin surfaces that have not been properly cleaned and abraded.
ZF600 is designed for application using a gravity-feed spray gun. The recommended nozzle size ranges from 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm, and the operating air pressure should be set between 1.8 bar and 2.5 bar. These settings produce a controlled spray pattern suitable for the low-viscosity adhesion promoter formulation. Operators should adjust the fan width and fluid flow according to the size and geometry of the component being treated.
Apply two even coats of ZF600 to the prepared substrate, allowing appropriate flash-off between coats. At 25°C, the topcoat may be applied after 5 minutes. For consistent results, apply the product in a well-ventilated spray booth with ambient temperature between 18°C and 25°C and relative humidity below 70%. Avoid application in direct sunlight or in conditions where the dew point is close to ambient temperature.
ZF600 is packaged in 1-liter containers, with 15 cans per carton (1L×15/CTN). The product should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. The shelf life is 2 years when stored in unopened original containers under recommended conditions. Once opened, the product should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation and contamination.
ZF600 is intended for use by trained professional applicators only. Personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a suitable respirator, should be worn during application. The product contains flammable solvents; fire prevention measures must be observed during use and storage. Keep the product out of reach of children. For detailed safety information, including hazard statements and first-aid measures, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available from the supplier.
ZF600 is formulated for PP and ABS plastics that have been properly cleaned and sanded with 800# to 1000# grit sandpaper. It is not recommended for untreated or contaminated surfaces.
