Approved Cleaning Agents
Only use solvents / cleaning fluids that meet the following specifications:
Highly flammable liquids (category 2, flam. liq. 2):
o
GHS/CLP H225, flash point <23°C, boiling point >35°C.
o
Formerly according to 67/548/EWG: R11, Hazard symbol „F“.
Flammable liquids (category 3, flam. liq. 3):
o
GHS/CLP H226, flash point 23°C - 60°C.
o
Formerly according to 67/548/EWG: R10, no Hazard symbol.
Non-combustible, aqueous cleaning agents (neutral or slightly alkaline pH) such as B-TEC H
2
O
Cleaner for water-soluble paints.
If using flammable cleaning liquids, ensure at least a medium electrical conductivity of the liquid. Usu-
ally solvents are mixtures of liquids with high and low conductivity and therefore are sufficiently con-
ductive. If you have any doubts, ask your supplier.
It’s recommended to use purified water to mix B-TEC H
2
O-RK cleaner, if tap water is
extremely hard water or contains high quantities of iron.
Ensure that the used cleaning fluid is suitable and does not attack the surface of the
object to be cleaned. Suitability shall be ensured by the operator in preliminary tests.
The manufacturer and / or supplier does not assume any liability for damages caused
by these tests.
Acids are not permitted. Paint strippers or other additives (e.g. brake cleaners etc.)
must not be used in the machine.
Safety data sheets relevant to the products supplied should always be available on the
premises. These will contain the information about the cleaning agents that you are
using.
Never alternate the use of solvents and cleaning fluids (for water-based paints) in the
same machine as this will damage it and void the warranty. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions at all times. Alternating the two types of cleaning agents can cause gas
build up and explosions!
When changing from solvents to cleaning fluids for water-based paints (or vice-versa)
the paint gun cleaner must be completely cleaned of paint, water and fluid residues.
Recommendation to reduce solvent consumption:
If the machine is connected to a continuously running exhaust system and you’re using
solvent, we recommend the pneumatic exhaust solvent safer to reduce solvent con-
sumption.
