  • Page 9 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual Catalyst - Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) MEKP is among the more hazardous materials found in commercial channels. The safe handling of the “unstable (reactive)” chemicals presents a definite challenge to the plastics industry. The highly reactive property which makes MEKP valuable to the plastics industry in producing the curing reaction of polyester resins also produces the hazards which require great care and caution in its storage, transportation, handling, processing and disposal.
  • Page 10 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual  Never add MEKP to anything that is hot, since explosive decomposition may result.  Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Protective equipment should be worn at all times. During clean-up of spilled MEKP, personal safety equipment, gloves, and eye protection must be worn.
  • Page 11 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual  The reaction is unpredictable. Prior use of an HHC solvent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does NOT mean that such use is safe. These solvents can be dangerous alone (as a clean-up or flushing agent) or when used as a component or a coating material. There is no known inhibitor that is effective under all circumstances.
  • Page 12 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual Catalyst Diluents Magnum Venus Products spray-up and gel-coat systems currently produced are designed so that catalyst diluents are not required. Magnum Venus Products therefore recommends that diluents not be used to avoid possible contamination which could lead to an explosion due to the handling and mixing of MEKP and diluents.
  • Page 13 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual Toxicity of Chemicals  Magnum Venus Products 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 toxicity of the various chemicals used as well as the best methods to prevent injury, irritation and danger to personnel.
  • Page 14 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual Precautions include: 1. Know precisely what chemicals you are using and obtain information from your chemical supplier on what to do in the event the chemical gets onto your skin or into the eyes, or if swallowed.

Note By connecting a couple of fittings and some poly tubing via the ratio block to the front of the dispense gun, the two components can be returned to the tanks or source without the risk of contamination.
  • Page 22 Mini Link Hydraulic System Operations Manual Note Some material manufacturers may only give a volumetric ratio rather than weight. In this case if setting the ratio by weight measurement is preferred, you will need the specific gravity of each material to convert the weight to volume in cubic centimeters (cc’s).
