Health and Environmental Performance
Emissions
HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents do not contain Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)2.
Volatile Organic Content (VOC) content for HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents is <300 gram/liter (by EPA Method 24). Additional emissions data is available upon request.
1EU Directive 2002/61/EC, additionally referenced as Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006: REACH, Annex XVI (article 67), restricts the use of azo colorants that break down to aromatic amines known to cause cancer.
2HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents were tested for Hazardous Air Pollutants, as defined in the Clean Air Act, per U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 311 (testing conducted in 2013) and none were detected.
Cleaning and maintenance procedures are designed for minimal VOC emissions and comply with regulations in the United States.
2-pyrrolidone (2P) (CAS No. 616-45-5) is present in the 3D600/3D700 Fusing and Detailing Agents at <20% and 5% by weight, respectively. 2P is a Category 1B reproductive toxin according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS, as implemented by the EU Classification, Labeling and Packing Regulation No1272/2008/EC (CLP)), US HazCom 2012, and other country-specific GHS regulations. To ensure users are safe during printing operation, indicative testing3 of HP Jet Fusion 3D printers was performed using the HP 3D600/700/710 agents. Results showed that relevant emissions were below applicable limits and guidelines4 as detailed below.
Human and Ecological Health
HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents do not contain intentionally added components in the following categories:
•California Proposition 65 listed chemicals at concentrations requiring labeling;
•Substances identified as endocrine disruptors;
•Substances considered very toxic or toxic;
•Substances classified as respiratory sensitizers;
•Substances identified as "very high concern" (SVHC) according to EU REACH criteria; and
•Substances identified as “very persistent and/or very bioaccumulative” (VPVB) according to EU REACH criteria.
2-pyrrolidone (2P) (CAS No. 616-45-5) is present in the 3D600/3D700 Fusing and Detailing Agents at <20% and 5% by weight, respectively. 2P is a Category 1B reproductive toxin according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS, as implemented by the EU Classification, Labeling and Packing Regulation No1272/2008/EC (CLP)), US HazCom 2012, and other country-specific GHS regulations and therefore the HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents are classified as Category 1B H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child. 2P may be present in the final printed part.
2-Methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT) (CAS No. 2682-20-4) is present in the 3D600/3D700 Fusing and Detailing Agents at <0.1% by weight in these formulations. MIT is a Category 1 skin sensitizer according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS, as implemented by the EU Classification, Labeling and Packing Regulation No1272/2008/EC (CLP)), US HazCom 2012, and other country-specific GHS regulations and therefore the HP 3D600/700/710 Fusing and Detailing Agents are classified as Category 1A H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. MIT may be present in the final printed part.
