FSI PROFESSIONAL Series, Operation Manual

Page: 18 / 86

Temperature is critical when dispensing urethane foam. To insure proper processing and productivity,
FSI chemical systems should be preheated and maintained at 80°F(±5°F). With use of F-1000 cylinders,
temperature conditioning takes approximately 12–24 hours in an 85°F heat-controlled room. When F-6000
and F-5000 cylinders are used, temperature conditioning takes approximately 24–48 hours in an 85°F heat-
controlled room. Temperature might vary from the above parameters on special urethane systems. Operation
outside desired range will affect ratio and reactivity of foam system.
IMPORTANT: NEVER APPLY DIRECT HEAT TO ANY CYLINDER!
(Example: Drum, Band and Queen Bee heaters should never be used.)
IMPORTANT: TEMPERATURE CONDITIONING OF CYLINDERS MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO
PRESSURIZING!
IMPORTANT: WHEN HEATING OR RE-HEATING A CYLINDER WITH THE FILTER ASSEMBLY
CONNECTED, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CHEMICAL BALL VALVE ON THE TANK BE
OPEN! THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO FILTER ASSEMBLY!
Refer to Product Data Sheet (PDS) for specific operating chemical temperatures for your system.
CYLINDER STORAGE AND CONDITIONING
FSI chemical systems should not be stored at temperatures below 50°F or above 90°F. Chemical temperature
conditioning should be done slowly to insure even temperature throughout the mass. Remember temperature
conditioning can take from 12-48 hours depending on cylinder size.

SHELF LIFE
Liquid-blown and froth systems have a shelf life of approximately six months, dependent upon the system.
Orders for chemical systems should be placed to maintain inventory for a period not to exceed sixty days. A
variety of cylinder sizes are available to accommodate individual requirements. Refer to product information
sheets for specifics.
