Caution!
Solvents basing on halogenated hydrocarbon, like trichloroethane and
methylene chloride 1,1,1, for example, may cause chemical reactions in
combination with aluminum and galvanized or hot galvanized components

other components of the coating device are suitable for the above mentioned
materials.
Attention!
Never use devices to spray materials containing solvents which are not
authorized accordingly by their manufacturers.
