HA180
V. 2.0
-
Read and strictly comply with the safety data sheets for all colorants, (base) paint and brush liquids.
-
You are responsible for ensuring that Operating Temperature never exceeds the flashpoint of the colorant in
use, or, in the alternative, ensuring that there is no build-up of explosive vapors inside or around the
dispenser.
-
The Operating Temperature consists of the Ambient Temperature in the place of operation, plus an additional
15 °C / 27 °F generated by the dispenser when in use. The Ambient Temperature is determined by factors
such as the temperature in the room or space where the dispenser is being operated, the amount of
ventilation in and around the machine, or any other factors in your operating environment affecting
temperature.
-
In the event Operating Temperature exceeds the flashpoint of the colorant in use, you must take the following
measures:
-
reduce the Operating Temperature by taking steps including but not limited to (a) operating the dispenser
in a room or environment with a lower temperature; (b) increasing ventilation in and around the dispenser;
and/or (c) taking any other steps to reduce the Ambient Temperature; and/or
-
select a different colorant or paint with a flashpoint higher than the likely Operating Temperature.
-
An operational and environmental assessment is required before using flammable colorants in the dispenser,
taking into account all local circumstances including ventilation around the machine, room and machine
operating temperature and room size. Please consult your supplier for more details.
-
The place of operation cannot be an ATEX zone or any kind of explosive atmosphere.
-
In countries for which UL or CSA standards apply: this equipment cannot be used with colorants with a
flashpoint below 38 °C / 100 °F.
