Tells what the hazard is.
Certain material may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents,
for example: methylene chloride
and 1,1,1, - Trichloroethane, are
not chemically compatible with the
aluminum that might be used in
many system components. The
chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum
can become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.
Using coating materials and/or
cleaning and flushing solvents
which have flash points below
100 F (37.8°C) may cause a fire
hazard.

Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance
of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be
compatible with the material being sprayed and its
concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by
an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH
approved.
The REA-90 and REA-90L require that aluminum inlet
fittings be replaced with stainless steel. (See
accessories list.) Aluminum is widely used in other
spray application equipment - such as material pumps,
regulators, valves, etc. Check all other equipment
items before use and make sure they can also be
used safely with these solvents. Read the label or
data sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in
doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning
material is compatible, contact your material supplier.
Any other type of solvent may be used with aluminum
equipment.
This system is intended for use with waterborne
coating formulations only.
Waterborne, waterbase and water reducible coatings
are considered the same. Although they may not be
highly flammable, their residues are considered
combustible.
