Q: Are there any new safety and handling requirements for using ecomate systems?

A: Typically, No. If customers are familiar with and following the requirements for handling MDI and/or 141b foam systems, then the changes for handling ecomate systems should be minimal to none. Anytime a company decides to make a chemical changeover it is a good time to review the policies and procedures in place. Safety and handling requirements for ecomate systems can be easily determined by reviewing the MSDS and evaluating the current processing situation. Safety and Handling requirements are governed by Local, State, and Federal Regulations.
