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 materials 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.

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.

Storage/Shelf Life

Store in closed containers between 60°F – 90°F in a well-ventilated, clean, and dry building. Do not store near heat, spark, flame, 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

Keep moisture out of the material to prevent contamination. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not thin or add foreign material to the product. See Safety Data Sheet for complete safety information.
