The technical data for 2100 lists it as 45% solids RTS

4100 is described as a higher solids version of 2100 but when you look at the technical data it is listed as 42% solids RTS

Is there some mistake on one of their data sheets or is there something about this that I don't understand?

The 2100 mixes 2:1 so uses twice the amount of activator than the 4100 which mixes 4:1.

Using more activator lowers the % of solids in the ready to spray mix.

What you are saying makes sense but the numbers on their data sheets don't. If 2100 is truly 45% solids ready to spray shouldn't 4100 be some number greater than 45%?

I see what you are saying. At the bottom of the tech sheet it gives Solids weight (RTS) and
The 2100 is higher.

My suggestion is to call them and ask. Post their answer here so we can all be enlightened. :goodjob:

I sent them an e-mail asking about this several days ago ---no answer

If you go to their website they have new data sheets. --But it still doesn't make sense--the new data sheets list both 2100 and 4100 as 45% solids :knockout:

Which email did you use? I also did not get a response when I emailed directly through their site, [email protected]. I did receive an email back within hours after using the [email protected] address, however.
