Protective measures
Gloves
Based on the safety data sheet recommendations for handling photopolymer resins:
- Nitrile: very good - chemical resistant, impervious gloves recommended for handling acrylate resins.
- Butyl rubber: good - chemical resistant gloves suitable for extended contact.
- Natural latex or rubber: poor (not recommended) - not suitable for handling methacrylate compounds.
- Viton™: very good - excellent chemical resistance.
Safety goggles
- Always wear safety glasses or goggles when handling this product.
- Use eye protection equipment that has been tested and approved by recognized national standards.
- Corrective glasses are not considered safety goggles.
Clothing
- Wear chemical resistant protective clothing.
- Long sleeves and full-length pants required.
- Avoid skin contact - remove contaminated clothing immediately.
- Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
- Do not allow contaminated work clothing out of the workplace.
Respiratory protection
- Use with adequate ventilation.
- If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below applicable limits, wear approved respirator.
- Emergency eye wash stations and safety showers should be available.
Spill management
- Evacuate unnecessary personnel and ventilate area.
- Extinguish any sources of ignition.
- Wear recommended personal protective equipment.
- Stop leak if safe to do so.
