SubscriberWhat special cleaning of the valve is required after running 8 hours spraying this material thru a stainless steel valve? Is it ok to use a stainless steel pneumatic pressure tank transferring thru a polyethylene tube to the valve?

Hi kishpj,
For Fastbond 49, the best maintenance method is to keep the system full of adhesive and closed. If you can avoid letting air get entrapped anywhere in the lines or spray gun that would be best. Stainless steel and plastic parts are the only materials to handle 49. Other metals will cause coagulation.
If you need to clean the lines, acetone or our 3M™ Aerosol Adhesive Remover work best on dried 49.
Yes, it should be fine contacting those fittings.
Thanks, Is it ok for Fastbond 49 to contact polypropylene and polyethylene?
