CHEMICAL PREPARATION, STORAGE, & HANDLING
14
SOLVENT
Use only DK 817 (Dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, also known as glycol ether) as the cleaning agent.
Any other solvent used is done so at the user’s risk, bearing in mind that considerable damage could result.
Use of other solvents could damage the equipment. Solvents should only be stored, used, transferred, or
disposed of in well-ventilated areas. DO NOT allow solvent vapors to accumulate in areas near open flames,
electric heaters or hot surfaces.
NO SMOKING should be observed while using or handling any solvents.
Refer to your SDS for proper handling and disposal.
NITROGEN
USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY NITROGEN
supplied from pressurized bottles, cylinders, or bulk to pressurize the
chemical cylinders and operate the SLUG PRO dispensing equipment. To maintain and control pressures,
use only the regulator(s) supplied with FSI equipment. The regulator(s) should be set at 240–245 p.s.i. in
order to pressurize the A-SIDE and B-SIDE chemical cylinders. The regulator(s) also supply the SLUG PRO
gun air cylinder.
When properly used, one 220 cubic foot nitrogen cylinder will service approximately 500 lbs. of FSI foam.
(
NOTE: FSI DOES NOT supply nitrogen. Nitrogen must be secured from an outside supplier.)
IMPORTANT: CHEMICAL CYLINDERS MUST BE CONDITIONED TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE
BEFORE PRESSURIZING TO 240–245 p.s.i. NEVER INCREASE TEMPERATURE TO
CYLINDERS AFTER PRESSURIZING TO 240–245 p.s.i.
CYLINDER SIZES
FSI owned and maintained cylinders are available in a variety of sizes, including bulk, for maximum flexibility.
The cost of handling and the proper disposal of used drums can be avoided by using FSI refillable cylinders.
FSI cylinders have been manufactured in accordance with the standard of American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) and Department of Transportation (DOT). Cylinders are designed to operate at a working
pressure of 240–245 p.s.i. and are automatically vented to exhaust at a pressure less than twenty percent
above the operating pressure.
Each fitting port on cylinders is fitted with both automatic self-sealing couplings and manual positive shut
off valves except the safety pressure relief valve (PRV) which according to Federal Regulations must have
direct, uninterrupted access to the cylinder interior.
CYLINDER DIMENSIONS
F-6000 6½'L x 3½'W x 5'H with built-in metal pallet.
F-5000 6½'L x 3¼'W x 5'H with built-in metal pallet.
F-1000 Approximately 2' Dia. x 4'H.
ALL CYLINDERS ARE MARKED WITH ORANGE TAGS WHICH READ AS FOLLOWS:
TAG #1: “ CYLINDER MUST BE DEPRESSURIZED TO 75 p.s.i. FROTH/25 p.s.i. LIQUID-BLOWN
BEFORE SHIPPING.”
TAG #2: “ CHEMICAL IN CYLINDERS MUST BE BROUGHT TO OPERATING TEMPERATURES
BEFORE PRESSURIZING TO 240 p.s.i.”
TAG #3: “USE ONLY DRY NITROGEN TO PRESSURIZE CYLINDERS.”
