Important Two-Component Material Information
For all applications except spray
foam
Spraying or dispensing fluids that contain isocya-
nates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates.
• Read and understand the fluid manufacturer's
warnings and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to know
specific hazards and precautions related to iso-
cyanates.
• Use of isocyanates involves potentially hazard-
ous procedures. Do not spray with this equip-
ment unless you are trained, qualified, and have
read and understood the information in this man-
ual and in the fluid manufacturer's application
instructions and SDS.
• Use of incorrectly maintained or mis-adjusted
equipment may result in improperly cured mate-
rial. Equipment must be carefully maintained and
adjusted according to instructions in the manual.
• To prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists,
vapors, and atomized particulates, everyone in
the work area must wear appropriate respiratory
protection. Always wear a properly fitting respira-
tor, which may include a supplied-air respirator.
Ventilate the work area according to instructions
in the fluid manufacturer's SDS.
• Avoid all skin contact with isocyanates. Everyone
in the work area must wear chemically imperme-
able gloves, protective clothing and foot cover-
ings as recommended by the fluid manufacturer
and local regulatory authority. Follow all fluid
manufacturer recommendations, including those
regarding handling of contaminated clothing.
After spraying, wash hands and face before eat-
ing or drinking.

Material Self-ignition

Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thick. Read material manufacturer's warnings and
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Keep Components A and B
Separate
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or dam-
age equipment. To prevent cross-contamination:
• Never interchange component A and component
B wetted parts.
• Never use solvent on one side if it has been con-
taminated from the other side.
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Exposure to moisture (such as humidity) will cause ISO
to partially cure, forming small, hard, abrasive crystal
that become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film will
form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel,
increasing in viscosity.
Partially cured ISO will reduce performance and the
life of all wetted parts.
• Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never
store ISO in an open container.
• Keep the ISO pump wet cup or reservoir (if
installed) filled with appropriate lubricant. The
lubricant creates a barrier between the ISO and
the atmosphere.
• Use only moisture-proof hoses compatible with
ISO.
• Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
• Always lubricate threaded parts with an appropri-
ate lubricant when reassembling.
NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystal-
lization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
