Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of
accumulations of flammable vapors.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray
area.
Wear eye protection.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data Sheet
supplied by your coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of
accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of
inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible
with the material being sprayed and its concentration.
Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienst
or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used
with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used
in other spray application equipment - such as material
pumps, regulators, valves, and cups. Check all equipment
items before use and make sure they can also be used safely
with these solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the
material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or
not a coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact
your material supplier.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe
use and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must
comply with all local and national codes of practice and
insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire
precautions, operation, maintenance, and housekeeping.
These are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-
33. Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.
Solvent and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible especially
when sprayed.
During use and while cleaning and
flushing, solvents can be forcefully
expelled from fluid and air passages.
Some solvents can cause eye injury.
Certain materials may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with the skin.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for
example; methylene chloride and 1,1,1,
- Trichloroethane are not chemically
compatible with the aluminum that might
be used in many system components.
The chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an equipment
explosion.
Improper operation or maintenance of
