Disposal
•
Disposal of fully cured parts are not subject to regulations of any known agency
worldwide . VisiJet® support material cartridges may be disposed of in ordinary
office trash.
•
Uncured part material is classified as regulated, and in some areas hazardous;
requiring special packaging, transportation, and disposal . The disposal of partially
cured or uncured part material must comply with all local, state, and federal envi-
ronmental safety regulations . Applicable part “waste” includes cartridges (empty or
full) and waste pans . Any materials used to clean up uncured part material should
be disposed of in the same manner as uncured part material .
•
To find out facility disposal requirements, contact a local waste disposal provider.
(Local environmental regulatory agency should have a list of qualified providers.)
•
You will need to give disposal service provider a copy of the part material GHS/SDS, and possibly other forms included in the
Appendix of your VisiJet® Material Handling Guide, such as Waste Profile Worksheet and SNUR (Significant New Use Regulation
- U .S . only) . A report will be provided, indicating disposal requirements, as well as a quotation for regularly scheduled pickups . If
assistance is needed locating a waste disposal provider, or completing a waste disposal form, contact your local 3D Systems
certified reseller or 3D Systems Technical Support.
•
3D Systems assumes no liability or responsibility for proper disposal of uncured part material . Proper disposal of uncured part
material is the sole responsibility of the user .
HEALTH HAZARDS/IRRITANT
Irritant
•
Any chemical may exert harmful effects if it contacts or enters the body . Uncured material is a sensitizer, and can cause allergic
reactions if it comes in contact with skin . Always wear nitrile gloves when handling material . Refer to personal protection equipment
for more information. To avoid sensitization, do not allow uncured material to contact skin. Consult the GHS/SDS for specific
information about the sensitization potential .
•
If skin comes in contact with uncured material immediately wash with cold water and soap .
Inhalation/Injestion
•
Under normal operation, inhalation is not an expected route of entry .
•
Ingestion - Uncured part material is toxic if ingested .
•
Because uncured material is toxic if ingested, it must not be present where food and drink are stored, prepared, or consumed . After
handling materials, wash hands with soap and cold water before consuming or preparing food .

and water before meals, breaks, smoking, applying cosmetics, using toilet facilities,
