Nylon 11 CF powder can act as an irritant of skin and mucosal membranes. Formlabs recommends using personal protective equipment (PPE) per the guidelines of the SDS.

The following PPE is recommended when working with Nylon 11 CF Powder:

• N95 mask or other equivalent respiratory protection
• Non-reactive nitrile gloves
• Appropriate attire that prevents skin contact with powder such as long sleeves, pants, or lab coats (ideally with elastic cuffs)
• Safety glasses with side shields

If Nylon 11 CF Powder comes into contact with skin, wash it off immediately with cold water and soap. You may press adhesive tape to the skin to mechanically pull away any remaining Nylon 11 CF Powder after washing.

Formlabs recommends using grounded and bonded antistatic vacuums such as those that are NFPA 652-compliant to clean up Nylon 11 CF Powder. It is also possible to use acetone to clean machine parts and surfaces.

Powder that touches any surface cannot be reused. If mobilized powder settles onto surfaces other than the Fuse Sift workspace, it should be considered waste. This includes anything captured by the vacuum, even if the bag is brand new and it exclusively contains powder from the workspace. Attempts to recapture and store stray powder back inside the Fuse Sift or powder hoppers may contaminate the powder stream.

Nylon 11 CF Powder may be disposed of along with general waste, as it is not considered hazardous. Dispose of the material and any contaminated disposable PPE or cleaning items in a closed container in accordance with national, state and local regulations.

Contaminated packaging can also be disposed of in accordance with national, state and local regulations. Container crushing, puncturing or other means are recommended to prevent unauthorized use of used containers.
