Hygienic Characteristics
Adhesive lubricant Himtrust AC-45 causes irritation, dryness, and peeling when it comes into contact with the skin. When it comes into contact with the eyes, it causes irritation, redness, and tearing. Inhalation may irritate the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.
Preparation for Work
Before starting work:
- Ensure the temperature of the lubricant is between +15°C and +25°C.
- Mix the lubricant for 30 minutes using a blade mixer at a speed of 500-1000 rpm.
Safety Measures
The lubricant Himtrust AC-45 is a flammable and combustible liquid. There should be no sources of fire or sparks in the work area. The room should be equipped with exhaust ventilation and fire extinguishing equipment. Use personal protective equipment: special clothing, gloves, footwear, and protective goggles.
If the lubricant Himtrust AC-45 comes into contact with exposed skin, it should be wiped off with a cloth and washed with warm soapy water. In case of skin reactions, seek medical attention. If it comes into contact with the eyes, immediately rinse them with a large amount of running water for 5–10 minutes, then seek medical attention.

Transportation and Storage Conditions
The components of the polyurethane system are transported by all means of transportation in closed vehicles, following the cargo transportation rules applicable to each mode of transport, ensuring the integrity of the packaging and its secure fixation to prevent damage and leaks.
Store the components in closed warehouse premises in the original sealed packaging, preventing moisture ingress.
Storage temperature: from -60°C to +30°C.
Shelf life when recommended conditions are met: 12 months.
During storage, the lubricant's viscosity may increase. Dilution with a solvent, such as mineral spirits, is allowed, not exceeding 5% of the remaining volume.
After the expiration of the shelf life, the anti-adhesive lubricant should be tested for compliance with technical specifications and, if found suitable, can still be used as intended.
