Storage

Materials used for printing models with J750/J735/720 printers are made of resins, which are composed of reactive monomers and oligomers. Although printing materials are supplied in sealed, UV-proof cartridges, care must be taken when storing and handling them. Follow these guidelines to protect operators and the environment, and to ensure optimum results.

•

To ensure product stability, do not allow these materials to come into contact with metal. Plastics made from monomer-soluble substances (such as polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride) are not suitable for storing PolyJet printing materials.

•

When not in use, keep material cartridges tightly sealed to prevent contamination, the effects of exposure to UV radiation, and accidental spillage.

•

Store material cartridges indoors, in a dry area with adequate ventilation, between 15–25 degrees Celsius (59‑77 degrees Fahrenheit). If exposed to heat or flames, cartridges might burst or ignite.

•

Signs of premature polymerization in material cartridges include bulging, leaking, the emission of heat, and unusual odor. Exposure to heat can cause resin to gel in the cartridges.

•

Make sure that material cartridges are stored in accordance with all local regulations and other applicable requirements.
