VFI®-8011 Pump Lube

VFI-8011 Pump Lube is a 100% solids, nonflammable liquid pump lube that works in most automatic lubrication systems and high-pressure spray equipment to remove residual polyurethane or polyurea material from spray lines. The maintenance and cleaning of your spray equipment is important to keep it running efficiently. Keeping unused materials inside your spray equipment can shorten the life of the lines if it’s not cleaned out properly after each use. After spraying urethane or polyurea through your equipment, use VFI-8011 to thoroughly clean your machine.

Features & Benefits

  • Is considered a non-hazardous, non-reactive material
  • Keeps equipment running efficiently and effectively
  • Picks up more material to effectively flush out all necessary lines
  • Helps to remove curing urethane and polyurea to prevent damage to spray equipment

Instructions for Use:

Application

VFI-8011 is applied to pump shaft seals to prevent isocyanate crystals from forming and run through spray lines to flush out curing urethane or polyurea. VFI recommends using the pump lube every three weeks to prevent damage to critical pump seals and parts. Fill a bucket with enough pump lube to fill the lines and use the transfer pumps to pump it into the system. Use a separate bucket to collect the waste material that comes out of the machine.

When a clear stream of the pump lube starts to come out of the sprayer, stop the transfer pump and seal the end of the hose. After using the pump lube to flush out and purge spray lines, it can be used for long-term storage of spray equipment. The transfer pump can be stored in the pump lube to prevent the crystallization of iso on or in the pump. To prevent seals from drying out during storage, ensure there is pump lube in the seal cup.

Cleanup

With extra material, wipe down the transfer pump to remove all traces of isocyanate. 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 appropriate chemically resistant 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.

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

Potential Health Hazards

  • May cause irritation if inhaled.
  • May cause skin irritation after skin contact.
  • May cause eye irritation if in contact with the eyes.
  • 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.
