VFI-8002 Silicone Pump Flush

VFI-8002 Silicone Pump Flush is a single-component liquid flushing material for quickly removing residual silicone material from spray equipment. The maintenance and cleaning of your spray equipment is important to keep it running efficiently. Keeping unused material inside your spray equipment can shorten the life of the lines if it’s not cleaned out properly after each use. After spraying silicone through your equipment, use VFI-8002 to thoroughly clean your machine.

Application

Silicone cures by reacting with moisture and should not be left in spray guns, transfer pumps, or hoses. Use VFI-8002 to purge the silicone material out of the spray equipment. Use a separate waste bucket to catch the material that comes out of the machine. When a clear stream of the pump flush begins to come out, turn off the transfer pump. Stop using the pump flush once the liquid gets heavy with the silicone product. An air purge is recommended to fully clean out the curing silicone. This should only be done if the line is clear otherwise it will build up pressure if there is a block in the line.

Cleanup

Wipe down the exterior of the transfer pump with a clean rag. Dispose of the material and containers in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Avoid or minimize generating waste wherever possible.

Storage/Shelf Life

Store in closed containers between 60°F – 90°F in a clean, dry building. Do not store near heat, sparks, flames, or direct sunlight. Keep pails sealed when not in use. The shelf life of the material is 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Precautions

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. VFI recommends using proper personal protective equipment when using VFI-8002, including safety goggles where a splash hazard may be present. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not thin or add foreign material to the product. See Safety Data Sheet for complete safety information and instructions.
