Important Two-Component Material Information
Isocyanate Conditions
Material Self-ignition
Keep Components A (Red) and
B (Blue) Separate
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
foam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with mois
-
ture (such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive
crystals, which become suspended in the fluid. Eventu
-
ally a film will form on the surface and the ISO will begin
to gel, increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially
cured ISO will reduce performance and the life of all
wetted parts.
NOTE:
The amount of film formation and rate of crystal
-
lization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
• Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere.
Never
store ISO in an open container.
• Keep the ISO lube pump reservoir (if installed) filled
with IsoGuard Select
™
, part 24F516. The lubricant
creates a barrier between the ISO and the atmo
-
sphere.
• Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
• Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
• Never use solvent on one side if it has been con
-
taminated from the other side.
• Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil
or grease when reassembling.
Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocya
-
nates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material
MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions
related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates by providing sufficient ventila
-
tion in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is not
available, a supplied-air respirator is required for
everyone in the work area.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate
personal protective equipment, including chemically
impermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, is
also required for everyone in the work area.
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings
and material MSDS.
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or dam
-
age equipment. To prevent cross-contamination of
the equipment’s wetted parts,
never
interchange
component A (Red) and component B (Blue) parts.
