Isocyanate Conditions

Isocyanate Conditions
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
•
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.

Keep Components A and
B Separate
NOTICE
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.

Changing Materials
•
•
•
•
•

313876F

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.
Never use solvent on one side if it has been contaminated from the other side.
Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil
or grease when reassembling.

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.
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.

Grounding

Grounding

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Metering valve: attach ground wire from grounding lug
to true earth ground. See Component Identification
starting on page 15.
Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.
Feed system components: attach ground wire from
grounding lug to true earth ground. See feed system
manual for grounding points. See Related Manuals on
page 3.
Fluid supply container: 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.

Overview
This plural component meter, mix, and dispense device
accurately meters liquid and semi-paste materials.
The machine is ideal for a two-component application
requiring very small and precisely mixed shots.
The ratio of the pneumatic cylinder area to pump shaft
area provides the adjustable pressure intensification
needed to move the separate liquids through the mixer
with a flow rate suitable for production requirements.
The complete system is enclosed. Mixing of the two
materials takes place only in the mixer at the final stage
of metering valve operation. See Sequence of Operation on page 27.

1. Lubricate the metering rod ports in the oil cup
retaining block and fill the spool valve ports with
compatible lubricant. Consult with your material
supplier to select an acceptable lubricant. Regularly
verify that lubricant is present.
NOTICE
Testing has shown that failure to lubricate the valve
will significantly reduce seal life.
Metering Rod Ports

5. Dispense several full stroke shots until material is
air-free and has good shut-off at the nose.
NOTE: Very viscous, compressible materials may continue to droll after system is primed. Reduce flow rate as
required to produce air-free dispense.
NOTE: Very thin materials may require tilting the valve
greater than 45 degrees and dispensing shots until
material is air-free. Remove oil from cups before proceeding.
