A There are three key elements to the Halogenated Hydrocarbon HHC solvent hazard a 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 b 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 b 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 MagnumVenusPlastech Rev 12 2012 Page 9 RT 5000 Remote Trigger Manual A The reaction is unpredictable Prior use of an HHC solvent without incident corrosion or explosion does NOT mean that such use is safe These solvents can be dangerous alone as a clean up or flushing agent or when used as a component or a coating material There is no known inhibitor that is effective under all circumstances Furthermore the mixing of HHC solv

4. In addition it eliminates any problems from the diluents being contaminated through rust particles in drums poor quality control on the part of the diluent suppliers or any other reason If however diluents are absolutely required contact your catalyst supplier and follow his instructions explicitly Preferable the supplier should premix the catalyst to prevent possible on the job contamination while mixing WARNING If diluents are not used it should be remembered that catalyst spillage gun hose and packing leaks are potentially more hazardous since each drop contains a higher concentration of catalyst and therefore will react quicker with over spray and the leak 2 5 Cured Laminate Overspray and Laminate Sandings Accumulation A Remove all accumulations of overspray FRP sandings etc from the building as they occur If this waste is allowed to build up spillage of catalyst is more likely to start a fire in addition the fire would burn hotter and longer B Floor coverings if used should be non combustible C Spilled or leaked catalyst may cause a fire if it comes in contact with an FRP product over sprayed chop or resin FRP sandings or any other material with MEKP To prevent this spillage and leakage you should 1 Maintain your Magnum Venus Plastech System Check the gun several times daily for catalyst and resin packing or valve leaks REPAIR ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY 2 Never leave the gun hanging over or
