	QUICK REFERENCE FOR APPLYING PAPER SAFE

MATERIAL	APPLICATION	COVERAGE
Liner, Medium, Corrugated Board	Be sure surface is clean and dry before treating. Apply retardant with sprayer head held 8 to 12 Inches from surface. Apply with brush or roller. Treat front and back areas of material. Do not expose treated area to moisture for 24 hours	300 sq. ft. per gallon.

 

LINER, MEDIUM, CORRUGATED BOARD : All surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry. Paper Safe is water based, clear liquid that becomes insoluble when dry. Paper Safe also acts as a preservative, an insect and mold inhibitor. DO NOT DILUTE OR MIX PAPER SAFE WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS. It should be noted that unlike some products, materials treated with Paper Safe require no special cutting tools or special fasteners. Storage may be done in polyethylene containers. Although Paper Safe had been formulated specifically for the corrugated packaging industry it has numerous other applications and specified uses. Paper Safe provides a long-term fire retardant protection.

 

CAUTION:

          Product must not freeze. It must not be thinned or diluted.

OVERSPRAY:

        The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water. A rag wetted with   bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.

CLEAN UP PROCEDURE:

          Airless Equipment.

1. Run clear water through the system until coating is flushed out. When minor sudsing on surface stops, the system is flushed.

2. Run bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts) through system as solvent for cleaning any residue.

            3. Repeat Step 1 if any foaming occurs in Step 2.

            4. Lubricate system as specified by equipment manufacturer to combat rusting.

If two or more applications are planned in the same day, the sprayer can be kept clean by running water through the system between applications.

          Brushes/Rollers.

              1. Clean immediately after use.

              2. Wash thoroughly with bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts).

SAFETY FIRST

Use approved safety devices (ropes, belts, ridge hooks, ladder, etc.) When working on steep or high areas. Take EXTREME CARE not to step on wet treated area. Surface may be slick until dry.

It is good practice to wear respirator or mask and protect hands with rubber gloves when spraying any coating or chemical. When engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for solvent vapors. A dusk mask does not provide protection against vapors.

If eye contact occurs, flood with water for fifteen (15) minutes and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
