Liquid resin
Caution:
Refer to the safety data sheet (SDS) and local authorities for guidance on disposing of resin and solvent. Liquid resin (whether pure liquid, dissolved in solvent, or partially cured) may be classified as hazardous waste in your region and shall be disposed of with care.
Disposal with a chemical waste stream
To dispose of liquid resin that has not been cured or dissolved in a solvent, add it to your chemical waste stream in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Disposal without a chemical waste stream
To dispose of liquid resin:
- Put on a new, clean pair of nitrile gloves.
- Pour a small amount of resin into a labeled, transparent, resin-safe container.
- Leave the container exposed to sunlight to cure for 1–10 days. Expose resin to 405 nm light and heat for the most effective curing. The liquid resin cures to solid material when exposed to light and heat.
- Dispose of the fully cured resin and container as household waste.
To dispose of paper towels or other supplies that have come into contact with liquid resin, expose them to sunlight or UV light to cure the liquid resin and then dispose of them with household waste.
Cured resin
Cleaned parts and cured resin cannot be recycled. Discard cleaned parts and cured (hardened) resin as household waste.
