Isocyanate Conditions
Spraying or dispensing materials containing
isocyanates 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
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.
Material Self-ignition
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thick. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and
material MSDS.
Keep Components A and B
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 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.
NOTE: 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 ISO pump wetcup or reservoir (if installed)
filled with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL
206995. The lubricant creates a barrier between the
ISO and the atmosphere.
• Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO.
• 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 lubricate threaded parts with TSL or grease
when reassembling.

Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or
damage equipment. To prevent cross-contamination
of the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange
component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin)
parts.

above 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especially
if agitated. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in a
circulation system.
Changing Materials
• Changing material types used in your sprayer
requires special attention to avoid equipment damage and downtime.
• Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
• When changing between epoxies and urethanes or
polyureas, disassemble and clean all fluid components and changes hose sets.
• 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.

Overview
The left side of the mix manifold is intended for the major
volume material, or the higher viscosity material if using a
1:1 volume mix. This side is referred to throughout the
manual as the resin side or “A” side.
The right side is referred to as the Hardener side or “B”
side. The “B” side incorporates an adjustable restrictor for
balancing the system back pressure and flow.
See FIG. 2 to view flow of “A” and “B” material inside the
Mix Manifold.
“A” Inlet Ball Valve
F
The resin and hardener enter the mix manifold through the
manifold inlet ports and spring loaded carbide ball checks.
The “A” material flows through the manifold to the material
outlet port. The injector tube creates a hollow stream of “A”
material for the “B” material to fill once the hardener exits
the injector tube. The resin and hardener material mix after
they have left the mix manifold block (B).
When the manifold is mounted remote from the proportioner, adjust the “B” side restrictor (F) to balance the system back pressure and flow.
On the standard mix manifold, mixed material is flushed out
by sending a flush solvent through the B side center tube.
On the quickset mix manifold, solvent is also flushed across
the A side fluid check valve.
