Visijet® Fti Material Safety - ProJet 1000 User Manual

VisiJet® FTI Material Safety
Training: New users should be trained in the hazards and management of materials. Such training should be provided before they begin working
with the printer or disposal of material waste.
Once the print material has completed its printing cycle, the print needs to be removed, cleaned and cured, rendering it safe to handle. When print
material is uncured- meaning in a paste or wet form, do not touch uncured print material directly without protective gloves. If uncured material is
observed, follow the "Personal Protective Equipment and Skin Protection" to ensure the safe handling of uncured print material.
Flammability and Combustibility: Do not expose print material to heat (at or above 110°C/ 230°F), flames, sparks, or any source of ignition.
(Though the U.S. Department of Transportation does not consider this material a "flammability hazard," they do classify it as combustible based
on their flash points.) For more information on VisiJet® Material flash points and combustibility, see the VisiJet® Material MSDS/SDS packaged
with the material cartridge.
Health Hazards: Any chemical may exert harmful effects if it enters or contacts the body in sufficient quantities. Uncured material is a sensitizer,
and can cause allergic reactions if it comes in contact with the skin. Always wear chemically resistant protective gloves, nitrile or neoprene gloves
are recommended. DO NOT use latex gloves. Consult the MSDS for specific information about the sensitization potential.
Sensitization dermatitis is the result of an allergic reaction to a given substance. In some cases, direct skin contact is necessary to cause
sensitization. It is possible for individuals to become sensitized to a substance even after a trouble-free period of exposure. Many factors affect a
person's susceptibility including: existing skin conditions, personal habits, and individual sensitivity. Even slight exposure can sometimes trigger a
severe outbreak of dermatitis. Since sensitization is permanent, a sensitized individual should avoid further contact with the sensitizing agent.
Inhalation: Under normal operation, inhalation is not an expected exposure method. To ensure personal safety, uncured print material should not
be present where food and drink are stored, prepared or consumed. As a precaution, after handling material, wash hands with soap and water
before handling food. Finished parts (cured) can be handled or disposed of in the same manner as standard household plastic products. These
parts are not recyclable.
Exposure Control: The printer has a variety of built-in safety features that are designed to prevent operator exposure. Do not try to change or
disable these features.
Personal Protective Equipment and Skin Protection: Exposure to uncured material may occur when removing and disposing spent print
cartridges. To prevent contact, wear chemically resistant protective gloves - nitrile or neoprene gloves are recommended. Wear safety glasses
with side shields to provide eye protection in the event of a leak or spill of uncured print material.
Respiratory Protection: Because of the printer's built in controls, respiratory protection is not necessary during normal operation. The status
screen in the client software will prompt the user to change the printer's air filters at prescribed times. Individual use may vary depending on the
run time of the modeler. A NIOSH-approved (or equivalent) dust mask is recommended when dry sanding cured parts.
