ment/fluid has cooled completely.

WARNING

Overview

8311075R

Overview

The Reactor E-10 is a portable, electric-pow-

ered, 1:1 mix ratio proportioner, for use with a

wide variety of coatings, foams, sealants, and

adhesives. Materials must be self-leveling and

pourable, and may be applied with impinge-

ment mix spray guns, disposable mixer guns,

or flush-type mix manifolds.

Reactor E-10 is gravity-fed from 7 gal. (26.5

liter) supply tanks mounted on the unit. The

tanks are translucent to allow monitoring of

fluid level.

Severe duty, positive displacement reciprocat-

ing piston pumps meter fluid flow to the gun for

mixing and applying. When set to recirculation

mode, Reactor E-10 will circulate fluids back to

the supply tanks.

Heated models include separate thermostati-

cally controlled heaters for each fluid, and an

insulated hose bundle with circulation return

hoses. This allows the hoses and gun to be

preheated to the desired temperature before

spraying. Digital displays show the tempera-

tures of the two fluids.

An electronic processor controls the motor,

monitors fluid pressures, and alerts the opera-

tor if errors occur. See STATUS Indicator,

page 13, for further information.

Reactor E-10 has two recirculation speeds,

slow and fast, and an adjustable pressure out-

put.

Slow Recirculation

• Slow circulation results in a higher temper-

ature transfer in the heater, so hoses and

gun heat up quicker.

• Good for touchup or low flow spraying, up

to moderate temperature.

• Not used to circulate full tanks up to tem-

perature.

• Use with 245 fa blowing agent foams, to

minimize heat returned to tank and reduce

frothing.

Fast Recirculation

• Use to support higher flow rates or higher

temperatures by preheating the tanks.

• Agitates fluid within tanks, to avoid heating

only the fluid at the top of the tank.

• Use for flushing.

Pressure Adjust

Automatically maintains selected pressure out-

put for dispensing or spraying.

Isocyanate Hazard

311075R 9

Isocyanate Hazard

Foam Self-ignition

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, which

become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a

film will form on the surface and the ISO will

begin to gel, increasing in viscosity. If used,

this partially cured ISO will reduce perfor-

mance and the life of all wetted parts.

To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:

• Always use a sealed container with a desic-

cant dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmo-

sphere. Never store ISO in an open

container.

• Keep the felt washers in the pump wet-cups

saturated with Graco ISO pump oil, Part

No. 217374. The lubricant creates a barrier

between the ISO and the atmosphere.

• Use moisture-proof hoses specifically

designed for ISO, such as those supplied

with your system (see page 63).

• Never use reclaimed solvents, which may

contain moisture. Always keep solvent con-

tainers closed when not in use.

• Never use solvent on one side if it has been

contaminated from the other side.

• Always park pumps when you shutdown,

see page 27.

• Always lubricate threaded parts with Part

No. 217374 ISO pump oil or grease when

reassembling.

Spraying materials containing isocyanates

creates potentially harmful mists, vapors,

and atomized particulates.

Read material manufacturer’s warnings and

material MSDS to know specific hazards and

precautions related to isocyanates.

Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists,

vapors, and atomized particulates by provid-

ing sufficient ventilation in the work area. If

sufficient ventilation is not available, a sup-

plied-air respirator is required for everyone in

the work area.

To prevent contact with isocyanates, appro-

priate personal protective equipment, includ-

ing chemically impermeable gloves, boots,

aprons, and goggles, is also required for

everyone in the work area.

Some materials may become self-igniting if

applied too thickly. Read material manufac-

turer’s warnings and material MSDS.

The amount of film formation and rate of

crystallization varies depending on the

blend of ISO, the humidity, and the tem-

perature.

Keep Components A and B Separate

10 311075R

Keep Components A

and B Separate

Changing Materials

• When changing materials, flush the equip-

ment multiple times to ensure it is thor-

oughly clean.

• Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after

flushing, see page 28.

• Check with your material manufacturer for

chemical compatibility.

• Most materials use ISO on the A side, but

some use ISO on the B side.

• Epoxies often have amines on the B (hard-

ener) side. Polyureas often have amines on

the B (resin) side.

NOTICE

To prevent cross-contamination of the equip-

ment’s wetted parts, never interchange com-

ponent A (isocyanate) and component B

(resin) parts.
