B. Keep MEKP away from heat, sparks and open flames.
C. Prevent contamination of MEKP with other materials, including polyester over spray
and sandings, polymerization accelerators and promoters, brass, aluminum and non-
stainless steels.
D. Never add MEKP to anything that is hot, since explosive decomposition may result.
E. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protective equipment should be worn at all
times. During clean-up of spilled MEKP, personal safety equipment, gloves and eye
protection must be worn. Fire fighting equipment should be at hand and ready.
F. Avoid spillage, which can heat up to the point of self-ignition.
G. Repair any leaks discovered in the catalyst system immediately, and clean up the
leaked catalyst at once in accordance with the catalyst manufacturer’s instructions.
H. Use only original equipment or equivalent parts from Magnum Venus Plastech in the
catalyst system (i.e.: hoses, fitting, etc.) because a dangerous chemical reaction may
result between substituted parts and MEKP.
I. Catalyst accumulated from the purging of hoses or the measurement of fluid output
deliveries should never be returned to the supply tank, such catalyst should be diluted
with copious quantities of clean water and disposed of in accordance with the catalyst
manufacturer’s instructions.
The extent to which the user is successful in accomplishing these ends and any
additional recommendations by the catalyst manufacturer determines largely the safety
that will be present in his operation.
2.3 Clean-Up Solvents and Resin Diluents
WARNING
A hazardous situation may be present in your pressurized fluid system!
Hydrocarbon Solvents can cause an explosion when used with aluminum or
galvanized components in a closed (pressurized) fluid system (pump, heaters,
filters, valves, spray guns, tanks, etc.). The explosion could cause serious injury,
death and/or substantial property damage. Cleaning agents, coatings, paints, etc.
may contain Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents. Some Magnum Venus Plastech
spray equipment includes aluminum or galvanized components and will be
affected by Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents.
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.
