MATERIAL HANDLING
Emergency
Chemtrec USA (800) 424-9300; Europe +1-703-527-3887
Packaging Inspection:
VisiJet materials are supplied in bottles. These bottles are packaged with cardboard packing material inside the
shipping carton. Upon receipt of material shipments, inspect cardboard carton exterior for signs of damage and leakage. If leakage is observed,
DO NOT open carton, contact 3D Systems Certifi ed 3D Systems Service Provider. If no leakage is observed, store shipping carton until
material is used
.
Building:
If uncured material is observed on the part or platform after build, this is an abnormal condition, and is an indication the 3D printer
system requires servicing by 3D Systems or an authorized servicing reseller. Assume any liquid or paste-like material is part material. Do not
directly touch uncured part material without protective gloves and protective sleeves. Discontinue use of the 3D printer system, pending service
by a 3D Systems Technical Support Representative or your servicing reseller.
Flammability and Combustibility:
(Though the U.S. Department of Transportation does not consider VisiJet materials a "fl ammability hazard," they do classify them "combustible"
based on fl ash points.) For more information on VisiJet material fl ash points and combustibility, see the
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Skin Protection:
Performing some procedures in this manual will exposure the user to uncured part material. To prevent contact, wear a
chemically resistant apron or lab coat, protective sleeves (Tyvex) and chemically resistant protective gloves. Nitrile gloves are recommended.
Do not use Latex gloves.
For some procedures, heat resistant gloves are required. Where a "heat resistant glove" is referenced, 3D Systems recommends wearing a
thermal liner with a nitrile glove worn over the liner. The thermal liner must be capable of withstanding temperatures up to 90 degrees C.
Eye protection:
In the event of a leak or spill of uncured part material, wear safety glasses with side shields to provide eye protection.
Respiratory protection:
Because of the 3D printer system's built in engineering controls, respiratory protection is not necessary during
normal operation. A NIOSH-approved (or equivalent) dust mask is recommended when dry sanding cured material parts
FIRST AID MEASURES
General Information:
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
In case of inhalation:
May cause respiratory irritation. Move affected person to fresh air. If respiratory irritation occurs or if breathing
becomes diffi cult, seek medical attention immediately.
In case of skin contact:
May cause irritation or sensitization by skin contact , including redness and/or swelling. Immediately fl ush skin with
plenty of cold water. After the area has been thoroughly rinsed, use soap and cold water to cleanse the area. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
In case of eye contact:
Irritating to eyes. Causes redness, swelling and pain. Immediately fl ush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Remove contact lenses immediately. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
In case of ingestion:
Irritating to mouth, throat and stomach. If ingested, drink plenty of water and seek immediate medical attention. Do
not induce vomiting.
Self-protection of the fi rst aider:
contaminated clothing and shoes
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity
: The aquatic toxicity of the product is unknown; however based on components, it is predicted that uncured part material may
be harmful to aquatic organisms or cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Prevent contamination of soil, drains and
surface waters.
3D Systems, Inc.
Do not expose materials to heat at or above 230°F (110°C), fl ames, sparks, or any source of ignition.
Put on appropriate protective equipment (see section 7). Move exposed person to fresh air. Remove
