Supplies
Product - Flatproofing materials are supplied in drum kits or
Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) sets (photo 7a). Intermediate
Bulk Containers are commonly known as “totes”. A kit or set is
comprised of one “ISO” side and one “CAT” side. Each drum
kit is 900 lb/110 gal (409.09 kg/416.35l). Each tote set is 4500
lb/550 gal (2045.45 kg/2081.75l).
Solvent
- Isopropyl alcohol (99% pure) is the recommended
solvent for cleaning machinery and tools. It can generally be
purchased locally. Solvents should be stored in UL/FM
(Underwriters’ Laboratory/Fire Marshall) approved containers
and handled in accordance with all federal, state, and local
regulations. (photo 7b)
Hypodermic Needles
- Needles are used for venting tires
during the filling process. The standard size is 12 gauge 3 inch.
Other sizes are available. For your convenience, these are
available from Accella Tire Fill Systems.
Nails or Screws
- A nail or sheet metal screw is used to plug
the venting hole. A #10 ribbed roofing nail is recommended and
can be found at any hardware store.
Self-locking plastic bags
- These are used for retaining
liquid batch samples while they cure.
Waste Container
- Empty 5-gallon pails are useful for
collecting waste material. Using a plastic liner makes disposal
easier.*
Cleaning Rags
- Keep plenty of rags on hand for clean up. A
clean pumping operation is essential for proper tire processing.*
* Be sure to follow all federal, state and local regulations when
disposing of any cured or uncured material or other related
items.
