Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
foam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with moisture

GlasCraft Systems are factory assembled. If any
questions arise concerning air or electrical
connections, please refer to illustrations located in
the forward portion of this User Manual or contact
your GlasCraft distributor.
1. Locate Guardian.

within 10 ft. of were the machine is to be placed.
If the machine needs to be further that 10 ft. from
the power supply, additional lengths of properly
sized electrical cable will be required.
Never use a smaller gauge size than supplied
by the factory!
b. Depending on the electrical setup, it may be
necessary to install an appropriate plug on the end
of the cable. GlasCraft will not supply this plug, as
we are unaware of which style will be needed.
