Important Two-Component Material Information

Important Two-Component Material Information

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 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 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 lube pump reservoir (if installed) filled with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), Part 206995. 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.

Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed when not in use.

Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil or grease when reassembling.

Keep Components A and B

Separate

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.

Foam Resins with 245 fa Blowing Agents

Some foam blowing agents will froth at temperatures above 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especially if agitated. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in a circulation system.

Important Two-Component Material Information

Changing Materials

Changing the material types used in your equipment requires special attention to avoid equipment damage and downtime.

When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.

Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.

Check with your material manufacturer for chemical compatibility.

When changing between epoxies and urethanes or polyureas, disassemble and clean all fluid components and change hoses. Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener) side. Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin) side.

Communication Diagnostic

Codes

E30: Momentary loss of communication

Communications between the display and the motor control board or the temperature control module have been momentarily lost. Normally, when communication is lost, the corresponding display will show E99. The corresponding control board will register E30 (The red LED will flash 30 times). If communications are reconnected, the display can show the E30 for a small time (no more than about two seconds). It should not be possible for E30 to be shown continuously, unless there is a loose connection causing the display and the board to continuously loose and regain communication.

Check all wiring between the display and the control board.

E99: Loss of communication

Communications between the display and the temperature control module has been lost. When communication is lost, the display will show E99.

1.Check all wiring between the display and the temperature control module. Pay close attention to the wire crimping on plug J13 for temperature display and connector for control module.

Step 2 measures line voltage and should be done by a qualified electrician. If work is not performed properly it may cause electric shock or other serious injury.

2.Measure the incoming voltage to the module (it should be ~ 230Vac).

3.If it was only receiving 1 leg of the 230Vac the board may light up, and still not function properly. Correct the incoming voltage problem.

Park the pumps at the end of the day to cycle component A pump to home position, submerging displacement rod.

1. Open the park valve.

Close

2.Trigger the gun until pumps stops at the bottom and relieves pressure.

3.Close the air motor shutoff valve.

4.Close the park valve.

Flush equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Do not spray flammable fluids. Do not turn on heaters while flushing with flammable solvents.

Flush out old fluid with new fluid, or flush out old fluid with a compatible solvent, such as toluene, naptha, or mineral spirits before introducing new fluid.

Use lowest possible pressure when flushing.

To flush feed hoses, pumps, and the heater separately from the heated hoses, set PRESSURE RELIEF/SPRAY valves (SA, SB) to PRESSURE RELIEF/CIRCULATION. Flush through bleed lines

(N).

To flush entire system, circulate through gun fluid manifold (with manifold removed from gun).

Always leave hydraulic oil or a non-water based, non-water absorbent fluid in system. Do not use

water.

Only use flush solvents that are compatible with Fluoroelastomer seals. Non-compatible solvents will damage seals and cause hazardous conditions, such as high pressure leaks and pressure switch failure.
