HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF powder is supplied in containers of which approximately 80% of the weight
of the used empty container is a recyclable cardboard. For disassembly instructions of the container please
visit the following page:
3D printed parts made with HP HR PP enabled by BASF may be recyclable where facilities exist. Please
check with your local recycling facility for recyclability of plastics made with PP. In many cities, plastics
recycling is based on shape rather on plastic type. It is recommended to include the following symbol on
your 3D printed PP plastic part with >5< to clearly identify the type of plastic. The melt flow index of the HP
HR PP enabled by BASF under 230oC and 2.16kg is approximately 8 g/10min according to ASTM-D1238
test method.
HP Design for Environment (DfE) Program
In 1992, HP adopted a pioneering company-wide Design for the Environment program that considers
environmental impact in the design of every product and solution, from the smallest ink cartridge to entire
data centers.
For more information about HP’s social and environmental responsibility programs, see
Currently, no HP 3D materials are designed or approved for direct or indirect food contact applications and
accordingly they should not be used for food applications or direct and indirect food contact applications.
Automotive
Substances and heavy metals as itemized in the Gobal Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL) are
not intentionally added to HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF. The occurrence of substances restricted by
GADSL can be excluded, except negligible amounts on the level of natural/technical impurities. HP 3D HR
PP enabled by BASF is not routinely analyzed for GADSL substances.

T
he results from the above-referenced testing are representative of parts produced on the HP Jet Fusion
3D 5200/5210 printers over the range of available printmodes with HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and
Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP material enabled by BASF. HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF recycled (80%
recycled/20% fresh) material was used for the Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity,
and Pyrogenicity tests. The only post processing that the parts underwent were sand blasting, a soak in
isopropanol for 30 minutes, and a rinse in deionized water.
Based on these results, HP expects that similar
parts made from the HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP material
enabled by BASF under recommended operating conditions as per the site preparation guide will be
suitable for applications described in FDA’s and ISO 10993’s guidance for Intact Skin Surface Devices.
2-pyrrolidone (2P) (CAS No. 616-45-5) is present in the 3D600/3D700/3D710 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. Based on HP internal testing (December 2019) of HP 3D HR PP printed
parts using GC/MS, 2-pyrrolidone can be present in the range of 0.072 - 0.075% by weight.
No testing of
HP 3D HR PP printed parts has been conducted for reproductive/developmental toxicity.
2-M
ethyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT) (CAS No. 2682-20-4) is present in the 3D600/3D700/3D710 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. MIT may be present in the final printed HD 3D
HR PP part.
I
t is the responsibility of each customer to determine that its use of HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and
Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP material enabled by BASF is safe and technically suitable to the
customer’s intended applications and consistent with the relevant regulatory requirements (including FDA
requirements) applicable to the customer’s final product. Customers should conduct their own testing to
ensure that this is the case. Results may vary if the testing is performed under different conditions than
those existing at testing time and/or those required testing conditions that applied for the purposes of the
biocompatibility tests referenced above. Because of possible changes in the relevant industry standards,
FDA guidance, and other legal or regulatory requirements, as well as possible changes in HP
3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP material enabled by BASF, HP cannot
guarantee that the status of HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP
material enabled by BASF will remain unchanged or that it will qualify and or comply with ISO 10993, US
FDA’s guidance or USP Class I-VI Certification for any particular use.

HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF
Parts made with HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Fusing and Detailing Agents and HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF
have undergone the following tests:
1. Heavy Metal: No metals were detected in the study with a limit of detection of 2.0 ppm. The
submitted samples comply with the soluble heavy metal requirements according to ASTM F96317 using Section 8.3.5 soluble element test method for substrate materials.
2. Phthalates: No regulated phthalates were detected down to 0.005% in the study. The submitted
sample passed the applicable requirements for phthalates as recommended by the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, Section 108(a) using CPSC-CH-C1001-09.4 standard
operating procedure for the determination of phthalates.
3. Bisphenol A (BPA): No Bisphenol A was detected above the threshold of 0.1 ppm in the submitted
samples.
HP believes that the testing referred to above is typical of parts produced with HP 3D600/3D700/3D710
Fusing and Detailing Agents and fresh HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF
printers.

Newly printed parts from an HP 3D printer using HP 3D600/3D700/3D710 Agents and HP 3D HR PP
materials were tested to perform a targeted migration study for 2-pyrrolidone in both synthetic saliva and
gastric fluid for incidental ingestion or “mouthing” (July 2020) with potential toy applications in mind. The
migration study was performed in triplicate by placing 4 squares of the sample in 50 ml of either synthetic
saliva or synthetic gastric fluid for 2 hours at room temperature. 2-pyrrolidinone was analysed and
quantified by LC-MS/MS analysis.

No critical particle emissions from HP Jet Fusion 3D printers
Customers expect safe particle release behavior from their HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions. Evaluation
needs to include different particle types potentially emitted – in particular fine and ultrafine particles.
Indicative testing demonstrates that HP devices provide a high level of safety.
Fine dust emissions are negligible
Emissions of HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions in the fine particles size range of 0.3 to 10.0 micrometers
(µm) are well below below a variety of mandatory and voluntary environmental requirements, as indicative
testing has shown.
4
When compared against mandatory occupational limits and toxicologically based indoor air guide values,
devices are far below relevant values. For example, the devices meet the fine particles criteria of the
5
Germany AGW
and the U.S. Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) 6. Accordingly, testing concluded that no
health risks are expected when the devices are used and maintained as intended.
Ultrafine particles release is very low as well
For the extremely small ultrafine particles (UFPs) with a diameter of below 0.1 µm, concentrations resulting
from the operation of HP Jet Fusion 3D printers are also quite low.
8
precautionary guide value of the German Blue Angel.
And due to the UFPs’ volatile nature, they do not
hold the health hazardous potential associated with the solid consistency of particles in the ultrafine size
range. Based on these observations, no health risks due to UFP release by HP Jet Fusion 3D printers have
to be expected under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use as well.
7
Particle numbers lie well below the
Larger particles uncritical from a safety perspective
Particles with an average diameter of more than 10 µm generally have a lower exposure potential due to
the propensity of these particles dripping out of the air. And, if inhaled, particles of this size are deposited
in the upper regions of the human respiratory tract where they are subject to efficient clearance
mechanisms. In addition to these physical considerations, the inherent chemical properties of the HP 3D
