Warnings WARNING FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. To help prevent fire and explosion: • Use equipment only in well-ventilated area. •...
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component materials. Isocyanate Conditions Spraying or dispensing fluids that contain isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates. • Read and understand the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Material Self-Ignition Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanates Exposure to moisture (such as humidity) will cause ISO to partially cure, forming small, hard, abrasive crystal that become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film Some materials may become self-igniting if applied will form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel, too thick.
Important Isocyanate (ISO) Information Foam Resins with 245 fa Changing Materials Blowing Agents NOTICE Some foam blowing agents will froth at temperatures Changing the material types used in your equipment above 90 °F (33 °C) when not under pressure, requires special attention to avoid equipment damage especially if agitated.
