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 thick. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS.

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.

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), Part 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.

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 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

Overview

Usage

The XP70 plural-component sprayer is a mechanical fixed ratio sprayer that can mix and spray most two-com- ponent epoxy and urethane protective coatings. When using quick-setting material (less than 10 minute pot life) a remote mix manifold must be used.

The two pumps are carbide seat severe duty positive displacement pumps that displace fluid on both strokes simultaneously on ratio to one another.

XP70 sprayers are not approved for use in hazardous locations unless the base model, all accessories, all kits, and all wiring meet local, state, and national codes. See Important Two-Component Material Information, page 7, to determine the appropriate location for your particular sprayer model.

Over Pressure Protection

Mechanically linked pumps can create excessive fluid pressure if the full motor force is applied to only one of the fluid pumps.

Maximum air pressure set point blow off valves are provided to limit maximum fluid pressure. Do not remove these valves.

Automatic pressure relief valves are used to dump excess pressure back to the supply. Never plug these return hoses.

Common handles link the fluid control valves. Never install individual shut off valves on the “A” and “B” lines.

On models other than 1:1 mix ratio, a rupture disc is provided on the small side fluid pump as a back-up to the over pressure relief valve. If the rupture disc ever opens, do not operate the machine until the over pressure valve and the rupture disc have been replaced.

Component Identification

Air Line

Bleed-type master air valve (CA): required in your system to relieve air trapped between it and the air motor when the valve is closed.

Trapped air can cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly, which could result in serious injury from splashing or moving parts.

Be sure the valve is easily accessible from the pump and located downstream from the air regulator.

Pump air regulator (CB): to control pump speed and outlet pressure.

Air line filter (C): 40 micron filter that removes harmful dirt and moisture from compressed air supply. Accumulated water is automatically drained from the filter.

Fluid Line Accessories

Fluid Manifold (AA): mounts fluid gauges and over pressure relief valves. Controls circulation and pump priming.

Mix Manifold (AB): brings A and B fluid together. Provides control and check valves for A, B, and flush fluids.

Circulation Handle (AC): open to relieve fluid pressure, prime pumps, and circulate material in hoppers. Close to spray mixed material.

Dual Shutoff Handle (AE): Controls A and B on/off flow into mix manifold. Press down to provide A and B fluid to the mix manifold and into the static mixer for spraying. Press up to turn off A and B before flushing the mixed material.

Solvent Flush Valve (AD): to flush solvent through mix manifold, hose, and spray gun.

Static mixer/gun hose kit: to mix the two fluids and deliver mix to the spray gun. Includes static mixer and hoses to the spray gun.

Optional Accessories

Optional Fluid Heaters (N): to heat the resin and hardener before mixing. Improves the chemical reaction and lowers viscosity to improve the spray pattern.

Optional Solvent Flush Kit (G): to flush the mix manifold. Includes a solvent pump, mounting hardware, and solvent supply hose.

Flush Before Using Equipment

The equipment was tested with lightweight oil, which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contaminating your fluid with oil, flush the equipment with a compatible solvent before using the equipment. See

Empty and Flush Entire System (new sprayer or end of job), page 27.

Setup

Setup

Location

XP70 sprayers are approved for use in hazardous locations only if the base model, all accessories, all kits, and all wiring meet local, state, and national codes.

1.Locate the proportioner on a level surface.

2.Position the proportioner for convenient operator access and maintenance, safe routing of air and fluid lines, and easy connection of components and accessories.

3.For permanent mounting, remove wheels and mount the frame to the floor. See Dimensions, page 54.

4.Ensure that the cart brake (L) is in the locked position.

Grounding

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.

Pump: use ground wire and clamp (supplied). Loosen grounding lug locknut (W) and washer (X). Insert ground wire end (Y) into lug (Z) slot and tighten locknut securely. Connect ground clamp to a true earth ground.

Y

W, X, Z

Solvent Pump: use ground wire and clamp (supplied with solvent pump). Follow instructions in pump manual.

Air and fluid hoses: use only static dissipation type hoses. with a maximum of 500 ft. (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check electrical resistance of hoses. If total resistance to ground exceeds 29 megohms, replace hose immediately.

Air compressor: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.

Spray gun: ground through connection to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

Fluid supply container: follow local code.

Object being sprayed: follow local code.

Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the gun.

Setup

Wire Sprayers with

Explosion-Proof Heaters

(Hazardous location sprayers only)

If your sprayer is rated for hazardous areas, and you have explosion-proof heaters, you must have a qualified electrician connect heater wiring. Ensure wiring and installation comply with local electrical codes for hazardous areas.

Improperly installed or connected equipment will create a hazardous condition and cause fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow local regulations.

When explosion-proof heaters are used, ensure the wiring, wiring connections, switches, and electrical distribution panel all meet flame-proof (explosion-proof) requirements.

Refer to the Viscon HP heater manual for electrical connection instructions and guidelines in hazardous locations.
