Important Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) Safety Information
Polyester Resins and Gel-Coats
Spraying materials containing polyester resin and
gel-coats creates potentially harmful mist, vapors and
atomized particulates. Prevent inhalation by provid-
ing sufficient ventilation and the use of respirators in
the work area.
Read the material manufacturer's warnings and
material MSDS to know specific hazards and precau-
tions related to polyester resins and gel-coats.
To prevent contact with polyester resins and
gel-coats, appropriate personal protective equip-
ment, including chemically impermeable gloves,
boots, aprons and goggles are required for everyone
in the work area.
Spraying and Lamination Operations
Remove all accumulations of overspray, FRP
sandings, etc. from the building as they occur. If this
waste is allowed to build up, spillage of catalyst is
more likely to start a fire.
If cleaning solvents are required, read material
manufacturer's warnings and material MSDS to know
specific hazards and precautions. (Graco recom-
mends that clean-up solvents be nonflammable.)
NOTE: Graco recommends that you consult OSHA Sec-
tions 1910.94, 1910.106, 1910.107 and NFPA No. 33,
Chapter 16,17, and NFPA No. 91 for further guidance.
