Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum
components. Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death,
or property damage. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements:
Element Symbol Prefix
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check your material MSDS or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your EFD representative for compatible EFD components.
High Pressure Fluids
High pressure fluids, unless they are safety contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release fluid
pressure before adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure fluid can cut
like a knife and cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can
also cause toxic poisoning.
Warning: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even
suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor this note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
Medical Alert–Airless Spray Wounds: Note to Physician
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon
as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic
coatings injected directly into the bloodstream.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated and
serviced by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are
trained to safely perform their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and
regulations and are physically capable of performing their assigned tasks.
