Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
foam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with moisture
(such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive crystals,

form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel, increas-
ing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISO will reduce
performance and the life of all wetted parts.

To prevent exposing ISO to 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.

2. Advanced preparation
a. Before beginning any installation, ensure that the
applicator has the desired power supply available,
LH9VLQJOHSKDVH9WKUHHSKDVH
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.

the machine will be placed. consult the data

how much clean, dry air will be needed to supply
the machine. If the air line is under 25 ft. use a

pipe or hose. Anything smaller than these
diameters will severly affect the machine’s

Check your air-compressor to make sure it is
capable of supplying the maximum amount of air
that the machine requires. All GlasCraft equipment

liters @ 90-100 psi (0.62-0.7 MPa, 6.3-7.7 BAR)
do not exceed 125 PSI (0.86 MPa, 8.6 bar).
2. Move material drums to the area that the equipment will
be placed, ensuring that they are not sitting directly on
WKHÀRRU6LPSO\SODFHWKHGUXPVRQWRSRIDSDOOHWRU
similar device, so the drum bottoms will not be in
contact with any cold surfaces.

an air mask, goggles, protective clothing, and other
safety equipment as prescribed by current regulations,
recommendations of the chemical suppliers, and the

into the containers until all air is purged from the
material system.
Remember to dispense one to two gallons of
material to clear the system of grease and
plasticizer that was used during factory testing.
4. Close manual material valves. Material pressure
gauges should now register approximately equal
pressure. If one side registers considerably more
pressure than the other side, go to the high pres-
sure side and bleed off some pressure by slightly
opening the manual material valve on the side

sides are approximately the same pressure.
5. Dispose of waste material properly and in accor-
dance with chemical suppliers instructions and
local, state and federal regulations.
Before re-assembling side blocks, lubrication can be
applied by dabbing a white lithium grease into holes
inside of gun front housing and wiping grease over
side block seals. Grease will purge itself when the air
valve is turned on at gun and gun is triggered.

tion is to maintain the heat generated by the primary
heaters during system operation, and preheat material
during initial start-up. The hose should be set to
maintain a temperature close to the set point of the
heaters.
Due to the expansion of urethanes when heated, it is
imperative that on cold start-up of the system that the
heaters be turned on and allowed to reach operating
temperatures before the main pump air regulator is
adjusted to the desired spray pressure. If you do not
allow the heaters to reach operating temperature before
adjusting air pressure, the material pressure will exceed
the set point of the over pressure switches causing the
system to shut down.
