Material Safety
Hazards in Laminating Operations
Key hazards include flammability and explosion risks associated with MEKP, clean-up solvents, resin diluents, and uncured liquid resins. Toxicity dangers from chemicals used in laminating operations are also highlighted.
Catalyst Safety (MEKP)
MEKP is highly reactive and requires careful handling to prevent contamination and heat build-up, which can lead to explosive reactions. Proper storage, handling, and disposal procedures are crucial.
Clean-Up Solvents and Resin Diluents
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvents pose explosion risks when used with aluminum or galvanized components in pressurized systems. Users should consult material suppliers to ensure safe solvent use and storage.
Catalyst Diluents
GlasCraft systems are designed to avoid the need for catalyst diluents, reducing contamination risks. If diluents are necessary, they should be premixed by the supplier to prevent contamination.
Uncured Liquid Resin
Resin should be stored in well-ventilated areas to minimize risks associated with flammable materials.
Storage and Safety Guidelines
Resin should be stored at least 50 feet from the main plant and at temperatures not exceeding 75°F. Only a day's worth of resin should be stored in the main plant. "NO SMOKING" signs must be posted in resin storage areas. Adequate ventilation is crucial to minimize solvent vapors. Resin and MEKP should not be stored together, and open-top drums should be avoided to prevent contamination and potential ignition.
Handling and Maintenance
Accumulations of overspray and sandings should be removed promptly to prevent fire hazards. Regular maintenance of the GlasCraft System is essential, including checking for leaks and ensuring hoses do not rub against fiberglass strands. Protective clothing and eyewear are recommended when handling chemicals.
Chemical Safety and First Aid
Consult OSHA and NFPA guidelines for chemical toxicity and first aid procedures. Protective measures should be in place, and first aid information should be readily accessible. In case of chemical exposure, immediate washing and flushing are advised, but specific instructions should be followed based on the chemical involved.
Equipment Safety
Personnel should wear safety equipment such as goggles, gloves, ear protection, and respirators when operating or servicing equipment. Emergency stop procedures involve shutting off air valves and relieving pressure from the system. Regular checks and maintenance of equipment components are necessary to ensure safety.
Grounding and Static Electricity
Proper grounding is essential to prevent static electricity buildup, which can cause sparks. Grounding straps should be used on all conductive objects, and NFPA guidelines should be followed for transferring flammable liquids.
Operational Instructions
Start-up procedures include ensuring a clean air supply and securely attaching grounding clamps. Solvent systems should be flushed with air-solvent-air cycles to maintain cleanliness and prevent material buildup.
Operation Procedures for Resin and Catalyst Systems
Resin System Operation: Detailed steps for detaching the catalyst slave pump, securing the material pump pick-up hose, and ensuring clean recirculation are provided.
Catalyst System Operation: Instructions for filling the Catalyst Supply Bottle with MEKP catalyst and ensuring safe handling are included.
Recirculation and Injection Instructions: Steps for setting valves on the dispense gun to recirculation and adjusting air motor pressure are outlined.
Shut Down Procedure: Instructions for turning off ball valves, cleaning, and refilling the material pump lube cup are provided.
Routine Care and Maintenance: Weekly inspection and lubrication of the Catalyst Slave Pump Linkage are recommended, along with ensuring pump shafts are clean and free of contaminants.
Warranty and Support:
GlasCraft provides a one-year warranty on equipment and parts, covering defects in workmanship and material. Warranty claims require written notification and return authorization. The warranty excludes damages from improper use or unauthorized repairs. For support, contact GlasCraft with detailed equipment information.

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 strictly...

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 accordance...

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- sible...

Grounding an object means providing an adequate path for the flow of an electrical charge from the ob- ject to the ground. An adequate path is one that per- mits charge to flow from the object fast enough that it will not accumulate to the extent that a spark can be formed. It is not possible to define exactly what will be an adequate path under all conditions since it depends on many variables. In any event, the grounding means should have the lowest possible electrical resistance. Grounding straps should be installed on all loose conductive objects in the spraying area. This includes material...
