VFI®-8005 Pump Flush

VFI-8005 Pump Flush is a chemically dry, nonflammable liquid flushing material for quickly removing residual polyurethane and polyurea material from high-pressure spray equipment. The maintenance and cleaning of your spray equipment is important to keep it running efficiently. Keeping unused material inside your equipment can shorten the life of the lines if it’s not cleaned out properly after each use. After spraying polyurethane or polyurea through your equipment, use VFI-8005 to thoroughly clean your machine.

Features & Benefits

  • Is considered a non-hazardous, non-reactive material
  • Keeps equipment running efficiently and effectively
  • Helps to remove curing urethane and polyurea to prevent damage to spray equipment
  • Contains some solvency, which makes it better for flushing lines compared to pump lube

Instructions for Use:

Application

Use enough VFI-8005 to fill the spray lines. Turn on the spray machine’s hose heat. If you are also using this material to flush out restrictions in the system, turn the primary heat up to 140°F on the side you are flushing. Using just the transfer pumps, pump the material into the system. 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 and attach a filter bag to the end of the hose to catch chunks in the system. Once the filter bag is attached, turn the transfer pump back on and let it circulate for at least 15 minutes. Stop using the pump flush once the liquid gets heavy with the polyurethane or polyurea material.

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 whenever possible.

Safety

*Always read the safety data sheet before working with chemicals

Use chemicals only as directed and for their intended purpose. Do not dispose of chemicals down the drain. Most chemicals must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

PPE to avoid all unnecessary exposure:

  • Hand protection – wear chemically resistant protective gloves (nitrile, butyl, or neoprene)
  • Eye protection – wear safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles to avoid splash hazards
  • Body protection – wear suitable protective clothing
  • Respiratory protection – in case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product, and the safe working limits of the selected respirator

Product Limitations

Keep moisture out of the material to prevent contamination of spray lines.

  • Incompatible materials – oxidizers
  • Conditions to avoid – heat and incompatible materials
  • Chemical stability – stable under normal conditions
  • Reactivity & hazardous reactions – no dangerous reaction known under normal conditions
  • Hazardous decomposition products – may include, and are not limited to, oxides of carbon

Potential Health Hazards

  • May cause respiratory irritation.
  • May cause skin irritation: redness, edema, drying, defatting, and cracking of the skin.
  • May cause eye irritation: discomfort, pain, excess blinking and tear production, marked redness, and swelling of the conjunctiva.
  • May cause stomach distress, nausea, or vomiting if swallowed.

*If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, seek medical advice or attention. Call a poison control center or doctor if swallowed.
