Operating Your Polyester System Any tool, if used improperly, can be dangerous. Safety is ultimately the responsibility of those using the tool. In like manner, safe operation of polyes- ter processes is the responsibility of those who use such processes and those who operate the equip- ment. This manual outlines procedures to be fol- lowed in conducting polyester operations safely. This system has been specifically designed for use of Polyester Resin ,Gel-Coat ,and Methyl Ethyl Ke- tone Peroxides (MEKP) applications. Other formu- lations or blends considered for use in this equip- ment is...

GlasCraft recommends that the user consult the state and local regulations established for all Safety equip- ment listed. 2.1 Hazards Associated with Laminating Operations The major hazards which should be guarded against in polyester laminating operations are those associated 1. The flammability and explosion dangers of the catalyst normally used - Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP). 2. The flammability dangers of clean-up solvents sometimes used (GlasCraft recommends that clean-up solvents be nonflammable), and of resin diluents used, such as styrene. 3. The flammability dangers of...

Safety in handling MEKP depends to a great extent on employee education, proper safety instructions and safe use of the chemicals and equipment. Workers should be thoroughly informed of the hazards that may result from improper handling of MEKP, especially in regards to contamination, heat, friction and impact. They should be thoroughly instructed regarding the proper action to be taken in the storage, use and disposal of MEKP and other hazardous materials used in the laminating In addition, users should make every effort to: with copious quantities of clean water and disposed of in...

The reaction is unpredictable. Prior use of an HHC sol- vent without incident (corrosion or explosion) does NOT mean that such use is safe. These solvents can be dan- gerous 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 solvents with other materials or solvents, such as MEK, alcohol, and tolu- ene, may render the inhibitors ineffective. The use of reclaimed solvents is particularly hazardous. Reclaimers may not add any inhibitors. Also, the pos-...

In your main plant, store only enough resin for one day's "NO SMOKING" signs must be posted and observed in all areas where resin is stored and/or used. Referto OSHA Section 1910.94, 1910.106, 1910.107 and consult resin suppliers for more detailed informa- Adequate ventilation (as covered in OSHA Section 1910.94 and NFPA No. 91) is important wherever sol- vents are stored or used, to minimize, confine and ex- haust the solvent vapors. Resin must never be stored in an area where MEKP is Open-top drums should not be used, due to possible contamination and possible catalyzation from overspray...
