S
Tell him what kind of material you were spraying
MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE
TO PHYSICIAN
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is
important to treat the injury surgically as soon as
possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity.
Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected
directly into the bloodstream.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive
hand surgeon may be advisable.
The seriousness of the wound depends on where the
injury is on the body, whether the substance hit
something on its way in and deflected causing more
damage, and many other variables including skin
microflora residing in the paint or gun which are blasted
into the wound. If the injected paint contains acrylic latex
and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue's resistance
to infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment
that doctors recommend for an injection injury to the
hand includes immediate decompression of the closed
vascular compartments of the hand to release the
underlying tissue distended by the injected paint,
judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotic
treatment.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
S
Ground all conductive equipment. Use only
grounded air and fluid hoses. Check equipment and
workpiece grounding devices regularly. Resistance
to ground must not exceed one megohm.
S
Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice
static sparking or arcing. Do not restart the
equipment until the cause has been identified and
corrected.
S
Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames
where flammable materials are being used or stored.
S
Do not heat materials to temperatures above those
recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure heat
monitoring and limiting devices are working properly.
S
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous
concentrations of volatile particles or vapors. Refer
to local codes or your material MSDS for guidance.
S
Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when
working with flammable materials. Shut off power at
a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.
Part 1074874A--02
S
Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves,
and fire extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a
spray booth, immediately shut off the spray system
and exhaust fans.
S
Shut off electrostatic power and ground the charging
system before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing
electrostatic equipment.
S
Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment
according to the instructions in your equipment
documentation.
S
Use only replacement parts that are designed for use
with original equipment. Contact your Nordson
representative for parts information and advice.
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent
Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a
pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum
and explode, causing injury, death, or property damage.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more
of the following elements:
Element
Symbol
Fluorine
F
Chlorine
Cl
Bromine
Br
Iodine
I
Check your material MSDS or contact your material
supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your Nordson
representative for information about compatible Nordson
components.
Action in the Event of a
Malfunction
If a system or any equipment in a system malfunctions,
shut off the system immediately and perform the
following steps:
S
Disconnect and lock out system electrical power.
Close hydraulic and pneumatic shutoff valves and
relieve pressures.
S
Identify the reason for the malfunction and correct it
before restarting the system.
Disposal
Dispose of equipment and materials used in operation
and servicing according to local codes.
