APPLICATION
Intermediate cleaning
From the container, remove an adequate quantity of the cleaning agent (depends on pump size) and pump through the injection pump until the out-flow of the cleaning agent shows no discoloration or transports no visible injection resin residue.
Note: The cleaning of an injection pump during the working day can often be necessary because of breaks or interruptions to the work or when fast-reacting injection resins are used. In such a case, clean the pump as a preventive measure to avoid resin build-up and blocking of the pump. Intermediate pump cleaning is also needed if the injection material type is changed. Always take care to ensure the selected cleaning agent is suitable for both types of injection material. Otherwise it will be necessary to clean the pump first with a suitable cleaning agent for the injection material that has just been used and then to clean the pump again with a suitable cleaning agent for the new injection material.
Final cleaning
From the container, remove an adequate quantity of the cleaning agent (depends on pump size) and pump through the injection pump until the out-flow of the cleaning agent shows no discoloration or transports no visible injection resin residue. Cycle the cleaner for at least 2 minutes through the pump. Cleaning agent may stay inside the pump. If the pump is not to be used for a long time, it is recommended to replace the remaining cleaning agent by flushing with Sika Injection Conservator.
Note: The final cleaning after every working day is required. If the injection pump is not properly cleaned there is a risk of a resin build-up and blocking of the pump.
Disposal
Used cleaning and preservative agents must be collected in suitable sealable containers and must be disposed of in accordance with relevant local regulations.
