Required Safety Equipment
Required when handling isopropanol, resin and uncured prints
Required when handling isopropanol, resin and uncured prints
Required when handling resin and uncured prints
Wash hands after use
Hazards
Isopropanol is highly flammable
Both Isopropanol and uncured resin causes allergic reactions
Resin is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects
This printer and associated equipment uses dangerous chemicals that pose the hazards:
- Isopropanol:
- H225 Highly flammable liquid and vapour
- H319 Causes serious eye irritation
- H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness
- Resin:
- H315 Causes skin irritation
- H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction
- H335 May cause respiratory irritation
- H319 Causes serious eye irritation
- H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects
