Safety & Health

Health and Safety

Printing

We recommend printing Nanovia ABS AF in a room equipped with air extraction or by using appropriate breathing equipment. Whilst printing ABS produces a VOC derivative of styrene.


Post treatment

We recommend wearing standard safety equipment during the post treatment of your prints made with Nanovia ABS Insulblend.

Storage & Handling

Storage

Printing

  • Store Nanovia Insublend in a dry and dark location, if possible with a desiccant.
  • In order to guarantee good printing conditions dehydrate Nanovia Insublend at 60°c for 4 hours or longer, when the spools has been exposed to moisture for an extended period.
