SAFETY
WHEN USING HOT MELT
ADHESIVES/SEALANTS,
SOLVENTS
AND REACTIVE
MATERIALS
(contjnuect)
l
DO NOT USE PAINT-TYPE SOLVENTS UNDER ANY CIR-
CUMSTANCES! These solvents are volatile and may be a fire
and/or toxic-vapor hazard even at room temperature.
l
Always be sure the work area is adequately ventilated. Avoid
prolonged or repeated breathing of solvent vapors.
Halogenated Solvents
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents are dangerous when used in a
pressurized fluid system that contains aluminum components. No
available stabilizers will prevent halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
from reacting with aluminum components.
l
NEVER clean any aluminum component or flush any system
using halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. Use Type R solvent (P/N
270755) or contact your solvent or hot melt supplier for a non-
halogenated hydrocarbon solvent for cleaning and flushing.
Halogenated fluids include the following solvents:
Fluorinated
Solvents:
Dichlorofluoromethane
Trichlorofluoromethane
Chlorinated
Solvents:
Carbon Tetrachloride
Dichloromethane
Methylene
Chloride
Monochlorotoluene
Perchloroethylene
l-l-l
Trichloroethane
Chloroform
Ethylene Dichloride
Monochlorobenzene
Orthodichlorobenzene
Trichloroethylene
Reactive Materials
Reactive materials may produce fumes when heated. When using reac-
tive materials in this system, do not set the operating temperatures or
over temperature limits without first consulting the adhesive manufac-
turer and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) concerning the
use of these materials.
