Overview
Overview
The Reactor E-10 is a portable, electric-powered, 1:1 mix ratio proportioner, for use with a
wide variety of coatings, foams, sealants, and
adhesives. Materials must be self-leveling and
pourable, and may be applied with impingement mix spray guns, disposable mixer guns,
or flush-type mix manifolds.
Reactor E-10 is gravity-fed from 7 gal. (26.5
liter) supply tanks mounted on the unit. The
tanks are translucent to allow monitoring of
fluid level.
Severe duty, positive displacement reciprocating piston pumps meter fluid flow to the gun for
mixing and applying. When set to recirculation
mode, Reactor E-10 will circulate fluids back to
the supply tanks.
Heated models include separate thermostatically controlled heaters for each fluid, and an
insulated hose bundle with circulation return
hoses. This allows the hoses and gun to be
preheated to the desired temperature before
spraying. Digital displays show the temperatures of the two fluids.
Reactor E-10 has two recirculation speeds,
slow and fast, and an adjustable pressure output.
Slow Recirculation
•Slow circulation results in a higher temperature transfer in the heater, so hoses and
gun heat up quicker.
•Good for touchup or low flow spraying, up
to moderate temperature.
•Not used to circulate full tanks up to temperature.
•Use with 245 fa blowing agent foams, to
minimize heat returned to tank and reduce
frothing.
Fast Recirculation
•Use to support higher flow rates or higher
temperatures by preheating the tanks.
•Agitates fluid within tanks, to avoid heating
only the fluid at the top of the tank.
•Use for flushing.
An electronic processor controls the motor,
monitors fluid pressures, and alerts the operator if errors occur. See STATUS Indicator,
page 13, for further information.

Pressure Adjust
Automatically maintains selected pressure output for dispensing or spraying.
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 ventilation 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.
form small, hard, abrasive crystals, which
become suspended in the fluid. Eventually 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.
The amount of film formation and rate of
crystallization 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 felt washers in the pump wet-cups
saturated with Graco ISO pump oil, Part
No. 217374. The lubricant creates a barrier
between the ISO and the atmosphere.
•Use moisture-proof hoses specifically
designed for ISO, such as those supplied
with your system (see page 63).
Foam Self-ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if
applied too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS.
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two
component foam and polyurea coatings. ISO
will react with moisture (such as humidity) to
•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
contaminated from the other side.
•Always park pumps when you shutdown,
see page 27.
•Always lubricate threaded parts with Part
No. 217374 ISO pump oil or grease when
reassembling.
311075K9
Keep Components A and B Separate
Keep Components A
and B Separate
CAUTION
To prevent cross-contamination of the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange com-
ponent A (isocyanate) and component B
(resin) parts.
Changing Materials
•When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
•Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after
flushing, see page 28.
•Check with your material manufacturer for
chemical compatibility.
•Most materials use ISO on the A side, but
some use ISO on the B side.
•Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener) side. Polyureas often have amines on
the B (resin) side.

Setup
1.Locate Reactor E-10
a.Locate Reactor E-10 on a level
surface.
b.Do not expose Reactor E-10 to
rain.
2.Electrical requirements
Improper wiring may cause electric shock or
other serious injury if work is not performed
properly. Have a qualified electrician perform
any electrical work. Be sure your installation
complies with all National, State and Local
safety and fire codes.
Setup
a.Reactor E-10: grounded through
power cord.
b.Generator (if used): follow your
local code. Start and stop generator with power cord(s) disconnected.
c.Spray gun: grounded through the
supplied fluid hoses, connected
to a properly grounded Reactor
E-10. Do not operate without at
least one grounded fluid hose.
d.Object being sprayed: follow your
local code.
Connect Reactor E-10 to the correct power
source for your model. See TABLE 2. Models
with two power cords must be connected to
two separate, dedicated circuits. See FIG. 5.
Some models include cord adapters (55, 56)
for use outside North America. Connect the
appropriate adapter to the unit’s power cord
before connecting to your power source.
3.Ground system
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of static and electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current due to static build up or in the event of a
short circuit.
e.Solvent pails used when flushing:
follow your local code. Use only
metal pails, which are conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place pail on a
nonconductive surface, such as
paper, plastic, or cardboard,
which interrupts grounding continuity.
f.To maintain grounding continuity
when flushing or relieving pressure, hold a metal part of spray
gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, then trigger
gun.
