PROP 65 WARNING

CAUSE
Solvents and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible, especially
when sprayed.
Certain materials may be harmful if
inhaled or if there is contact with the
skin.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents,
for example" methylene chloride and
1, 1, 1, - Trichloroethane, are not
chemically compatible with the
aluminum that might be used in many
system components. The chemical
reaction caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can become
violent and lead to an equipment
explosion.

SAFEGUARDS
1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the
air free of accumulations of flammable vapors.
2. Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
3. Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in

(earth) all conductive objects in the spray
area, such as a cleaning solvent bucket, fire
extinguisher, etc.
5. When using solvents for cleaning:
• Those used for equipment flushing must have
a flash point equal to or higher than that of the
coating.
• Those used for general cleaning must
have flash points above 100°F (37.8°C).
1. Follow the requirements of the Material
Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating
manufacturer.
2. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the

This spray gun (spray pistol) has aluminum
passages and cannot be used with these solvents.
Aluminum is also widely used in other spray
application equipment – such as material pumps,
regulators, valves, etc. Check all other equipment
items before use. Read the label or data sheet for
the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to
whether or not a coating or cleaning material is
compatible, contact your material supplier.
