Important
Changing Materials
•Changing material types used in your system requires special attention to avoid equipment dam- age and downtime.
•Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
•When changing between epoxies and urethanes or polyureas, disassemble and clean all fluid compo- nents and changes hose sets.
•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.
