 Never add MEKP to anything that is hot, since explosive decomposition may result.
 Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Protective equipment should be worn at all
times. During clean-up of spilled MEKP, personal safety equipment, gloves, and eye
protection must be worn. Firefighting equipment should be at hand and ready.
 Avoid spillage, which can heat up to the point of self-ignition.
 Repair any leaks discovered in the catalyst system immediately, and clean-up the leaked
catalyst at once in accordance with the catalyst manufacturer’s instructions.
 Use only original equipment or equivalent parts from Magnum Venus Products in the catalyst
system (i.e.: hoses, fitting, etc.) because a dangerous chemical reaction may result between
substituted parts and MEKP.
 Catalyst accumulated from the purging of hoses or the measurement of fluid output
deliveries should never be returned to the supply tank, such catalyst should be diluted with
copious quantities of clean water and disposed of in accordance with the catalyst
manufacturer’s instructions.
The extent to which the user is successful in accomplishing these ends and any additional
recommendations by the catalyst manufacturer determines largely the safety that will be present
in his operation.
Clean-Up Solvents and Resin Diluents
WARNING
A hazardous situation may be present in your pressurized fluid system!
Hydro carbon solvents can cause an explosion when used with aluminum or
galvanized components in a closed (pressurized) fluid system (pump,
heaters, filters, valves, spray guns, tanks, etc.). An explosion could cause
serious injury, death, and/or substantial property damage. Cleaning agents,
coatings, paints, etc. may contain Halogenated Hyrdrocarbon solvents.
Some Magnum Venus Products spray equipment includes aluminum or
galvanized components and will be affected by Halogenated Hydrocarbon
solvents.
There are three key elements to the Halogenated Hyrdocarbon (HHC) solvent hazard.
1. The presence of HHC
solvents. 1,1,1 – Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride are the most common of
these solvents. However, other HHC solvents are suspect if used; either
as part of paint or adhesives formulation, or for clean-up flushing.
2. Aluminum or
Galvanized Parts.
Most handling equipment contains these elements. In contact with
these metals, HHC solvents could generate a corrosive reaction of a
catalytic nature.
3. Equipment capable of
withstanding pressure.
When HHC solvent contact aluminum or galvanized parts inside a
closed container such as a pump, spray gun, or fluid handling system,
the chemical reaction can, over time, result in a build-up of heat and
pressure, which can reach explosive proportions. When all three
elements are present, the result can be an extremely violent explosion.
The reaction can be sustained with very little aluminum or galvanized
metal; any amount of aluminum is too much.
