Chemical Safety

Irritant!
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing when
handling resin. Avoid skin contact. Avoid breathing resin fumes.
• Always wear approved goggles, nitrile gloves and protective clothing when working near resins
or with partially cured parts. Epoxy resin is less viscous and splashes more easily than acrylate
resin.
• Wearing contact lenses when working with resins is not recommended.
• Always wear chemical-resistant gloves whenever handling resins or partially cured parts.
Recommended gloves are 100% Nitrile. Do NOT wear latex gloves.
• Always work in a well ventilated area when using resins. Avoid breathing vapors.
• Always wash skin thoroughly with abrasive soap and COLD water after working with resins. DO
NOT USE HOT WATER OR SOLVENTS to wash hands, as it will result in absorption through the
skin.
• Use extreme care when handling solvents used to remove excess resin from uncured parts.
These solvents (e.g., denatured alcohol, isopropyl alcohol) are very flammable.
• Keep all resins away from heat, sparks and flame. Resin containers may rupture when exposed
to extreme heat.
Use National Fire Protection Association Class B extinguishers such as carbon
dioxide, dry chemical, or foam.
