Ventilation

PostProcess Technologies detergents are specifically formulated for maximized 3D printed support removal efficiency. Specific ventilation requirements can vary widely due to the local, state, and federal regulations, size of the install room, and existing ventilation (positive or negative).

To meet safety and environmental requirements, it is recommended that the post printing operations using PostProcess equipment and chemistry solutions have ventilation that is exhausted externally. Our VVD and TAF solutions come equipped with ventilation systems (blowers) upon request. Our SVC solutions should be located in a well ventilated area and have a ventilation draw on the open top tank. Make up air should be provided from the facility where the equipment is located.

It is recommended that customers performing post printing operations have or consult with a responsible environmental health and safety person (such as an Industrial Hygienist) to determine and verify meeting environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) requirements.

PostProcess can provide the recommended ventilation requirements for each of our solutions as well as recommendations for ventilation consultation and EH&S / Industrial Hygienists.

For more information on the safe use of PostProcess detergents refer to the SDS for the specific detergent used.
