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.
