Can I Use Compressed Air to Help Dispense Vertrel® Products |
|||||||||

To put it nicely, this ain't a great idea. Shipping and storage drums are not designed as pressure vessels. Forcing air under pressure into these drums could cause a rupture failure of the container and a serious spill of the cleaning agent. Your best procedure is to use DuPont's recommended best work practices for using, storing, and handling the solvent. In terms of filling the machine, a much better idea than pressuring the drums is to use drum pumps or a gravity stand to transfer the solvent from the container to the point of use. Employees should always wear the proper safety equipment. Cautions should be taken when transferring product from a drum or pail to the cleaning equipment to avoid high concentrations of fumes. |
