SAFETY WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Solvents and coating materials can be highly flammable or combustible, especially when sprayed.
 Work stations must be provided with adequate ventilation/exhaust to prevent the build-up of flammable vapours.
 Smoking and naked flames must not be allowed in the spraying or mixing areas.
 Fire extinguishing equipment must be provided in the spraying and mixing areas.
Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company requirements governing ventilation,
fire precautions, operation maintenance and housekeeping of work stations.
HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS – for example 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride can chemically
react with aluminum and galvanised or zinc coated parts and cause an explosion hazard. Read the label and data sheet of
the material you intend to spray.
This equipment, as supplied, is suitable for use with Halogenated Hydrocarbons and the user must ensure that all other
equipment in the system is also suitable for use with these materials. DO NOT SPRAY MATERIALS CONTAINING THESE
SOLVENTS EXCEPT WITH EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY DISIGINATED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS BEING SUITABLE
FOR SUCH USE.
STATIC ELECTRICITY – is generated by fluid moving through pipes and hoses. A static spark, capable of igniting certain
solvents and coating materials, could be produced by high fluid flow rates.
To prevent the risk of fire or explosion, earth continuity to the spray equipment and object being sprayed should be
maintained.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
TOXIC VAPOURS – When sprayed, certain materials may be poisonous, create irritation or otherwise be harmful to health.
