Shelf Life
Materials used for producing models have a limited shelf life. The expiry
date on the label is valid when properly stored in an undamaged,
unopened cartridge. Always rotate your stock, so that the cartridge with
the earliest date is used first.
Exposure to
Light
If printing materials are not in their sealed cartridges, make sure to shield
them from sunlight and other sources of UV radiation, such as fluorescent
and mercury‐vapor lights. Exposure to UV radiation causes an increase in
viscosity and, eventually, solidification.
Safety
Considerations
Before being cured, resins are hazardous materials. To prevent possible
health hazards, follow these precautions regarding printing materials:
•
Do not expose to flames, heat or sparks.
•
Prevent contact with skin and eyes.
•
Ventilate areas where they are handled.
•
Keep them separate from food and drink.
Cured plastic parts, however, are safe. They can be handled and stored
without precautions.
Disposal
Dispose of cartridges of Objet model and support material in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations. If necessary, the cartridges can be
disassembled for recycling.
You can find more safety information about resins in “Safety Guidelines” on
page 2-4, and “First Aid for Working with Printing Materials” on page 2-6.
