WARNING
If you are now using Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents
in pressurized fluid systems having aluminum or galva-
nized wetted parts,
IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
• Empty system, shut-off, completely depressur-
ize in accordance with equipment service instructions.
• Remove equipment from service, disassemble
in accordance with equipment servicing instructions.
• Inspect all parts for corrosion and/or wear. Re-
place any damaged parts.
• Thoroughly clean all parts of the equipment with
a non-halogenated solvent and reassemble in accor-
dance with equipment servicing instructions.
• Flush equipment with non-halogenated solvent.
• Do NOT reuse equipment with HHC solvents or
with materials containing such solvents.
• Material suppliers and/or container labels should
be consulted to ensure that the solvents used are com-
patible with your equipment.
NOTE
GlasCraft is aware of NO stabilizers available to prevent
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents from reaction under
all conditions with aluminum components in a closed
fluid system.
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION...
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents are dangerous
when used with aluminum components in a closed fluid
system.
Consult your material supplier to determine whether your
solvent or coating contains Halogenated Hydrocarbon
Solvents.
GlasCraft recommends that you contact your solvent
supplier regarding the best non-flammable clean-up sol-
vent with the heat toxicity for your application.
If, however, you find it necessary to use flammable
solvents, they must be kept in approved, electrically
grounded containers.
Bulk solvent should be stored in a well-ventilated, sepa-
rate building, 50 feet away from your main plant.
You should allow only enough solvent for one day's use
in your laminating area.
"NO SMOKING" signs must be posted and observed in
all areas of storage or where solvents and other
flammable materials are used.
SAFETY
Adequate ventilation (as covered in OSHA Section
1910.94 and NFPA No. 91) is important wherever sol-
vents are stored or used, to minimize, confine and ex-
haust the solvent vapors.
Solvents should be handled in accordance with OSHA
Section 1910.106 and 1910.107.
Toxicity of Chemicals
GlasCraft recommends that you consult OSHA Sections
1910.94, 1910.106, 1910.107 and NFPA No. 33, Chapter
14, and NFPA No. 91.
Contact your chemical supplier(s) and determine the tox-
icity of the various chemicals used, as well as the best
methods to prevent injury, irritation and danger to per-
sonnel.
Also determine the best methods of first aid treatment for
each chemical used in your plan
First Aid
If chemicals containing isocyanate are splashed on the
skin, they can produce ill effects. Steps to counteract
such effects should be started immediately.
Apply Tincture of Green Soap, full strength, to the con-
taminated area. If Tincture of Green Soap is not immedi-
ately available, wash the exposed area repeatedly with
soap and water. Soap and water is not as desirable as
using Tincture of Green Soap because many isocyanate
components are not easily dissolved in water. In addition,
soap and water does not form a barrier to the isocya-
nate.
After approximately two to four minutes, wash off the
Tincture of Green Soap with water. If there is still an indi-
cation of isocyanate present, repeat the application. If the
isocyanate contamination is on the facial area, care must
be taken to avoid getting the Tincture of Green Soap in
the eyes.
If the person develops breathing difficulties, oxygen
should be administered. Quite often the exposed person
will experience residual effects such as coughing spells
CONTACT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING
Contact a doctor immediately in the event of an injury
and give him the information you have collected. If your
information includes first aid instructions, administer first
aid immediately while you are contacting the doctor.
