Although there are no VOC’s (the resin I use also doesn’t have VOCs), that doesn’t mean that no harmful fumes are emitted. Some people can, and do, react to them. Wearing a respirator is always a good idea. Everyone is different and it’s still recommended to wear a NIOSH approved respirator.

I saw a "mistakes to avoid" section on the website of an epoxy manufacturer that said nitrile gloves are necessary and that latex gloves won't protect against epoxy. Is that correct? If so, why? Thanks for this information. I'm going to go through ALL my materials now and check out their SDSes!

I started using epoxy resin for the first time about a month ago...I won't name the brand but it said that it had zero VOCs & low odor - so I thought that it would be safe to use...but I was mistaken! I used the epoxy (while wearing a 3M mask) and after I was done pouring the epoxy on a table top that I had made I found it difficult to breathe (for about 2 days). I had purchased 2 gallons of that epoxy and had lots left over but after that experience I gave it away...My health was more important. I decided to do some research for a safer option and that's how I found out about the ArtResin brand. So I purchased 2 gallons of Art Resin and used it...I wore a mask to be safe and I was happy that the table came out amazing, and more importantly I could breathe properly! This had no effect on my lungs...I will still continue to wear a mask with this resin, and it was also more expensive than the original epoxy that I purchased but I really don't care, my health is more important.

And I don't live alone plus I have pets so I made sure to of course take them into consideration. That is why I made the choice to switch to Artresin. Yes it is more expensive but quality and safety cost more money and that's ok. I would rather pay a bit more now compared to having to deal with lasting health issues and hospital bills.

I have always wanted to use resin and have read extensively regarding its safety. This is really a video and I love your honesty. I have been hesitant to try resin, and ArtResin is convincing me to try it. A few questions before I buy the product 1) it says to work in a place with a well-ventilated area. My living room is spacious and has a window open and I will open my door too. Does this consider a well-ventilated area? 2) since I will be doing resin in my living room, does it mean that it won't affect my family members who live with me too? They are okay to walk around and breathe in the air when I am doing the resin? 3) Can I just wear a surgical mask (used for COVID) and not a respirator? Hope to hear from you soon :)

Thanks for your message. A well ventilated space doesn't require any special ventilation system, just work in an open area with some fresh air circulating as opposed to closing yourself off in a closet for example. Your living room as you describe it sounds perfect. ArtResin has been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and has been designated non-toxic when used as directed and safe for home use in a well ventilated area. There are no fumes or VOCs to cause danger to yourself or your family. If you are following proper directions for use, a respirator is not required. Have a look at our blog on how to safely work with ArtResin: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/what-safety-precautions-should-i-take-when-using-artresin?_pos=1&_sid=77e0dfb19&_ss=r

As a chemist for 40 years, I must inform that companies regularly "scrub" SDS to remove negative information. Although there is a GHS (Global Harmonization Standard) to outline the 16 sections, many manufacturers do not fully disclose the ingredients of their products, citing "trade secrets". Also there are only a few hundred ingredients that have been fully tested and evaluated by anyone. The balance of the ingredient comments and projections are excerpts and references to the ingredient types that have been tested. Best advice: Don't get it on you or in you!

We can tell you that ArtResin is non toxic and is does not produce fumes or VOCs and has been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and has been designated non-toxic when used as directed and safe for home use in a well ventilated area. We are happy to report that ArtResin passed the strict testing necessary to comply with Proposition 65, the act that provides warnings to California residents about toxic chemical exposure. Prop 65 is widely considered to be one of the most extensive lists of chemicals known to be carcinogens or cause birth defects and reproductive harm. With all of that said, we recommend working under the advice of your medical professional.

Art Resin how do you KNOW your product is not going to cause cancer or hurt your family? Where can I go to view this?

Really how safe is torching resin?

@Artresin

Жыл бұрын

Thats a great question Pam. If you are using the torch as instructed and just passing it lightly over the surface of your poured resin, it simply reduces the viscosity of the resin thus lowering the surface tension so that the bubbles pop. The fumes come from the ingredients in the formula, so if the resin you are using is safe and free from fumes and toxic chemicals as ArtResin is, you have nothing to worry about.

Great information. What about when you add colours and then torch, do you need a respirator? I have used art resin since you guys started the company. I do put on a respirator when adding anything. Thank you, love your product. 😘

I don't understand. resin in liquid form and the fumes are always toxic. There is no exception. Why not wear protecting gear. Glasses, full body cover, mask, also you need nitril gloves. Particles and dust from polishing also are toxic. Dont use resin in rooms where you live in. Use a separate room like craft room and always ventilate or open the windows.

We always recommend reading and following the directions for the epoxy resin brand you choose as many epoxy brands are highly toxic. If you choose ArtResin you are choosing an epoxy resin brand that is non-toxic and does not produce fumes or VOCs. We recommend working in a well ventilated area and protecting your skin from exposure by wearing nitrile gloves. When sanding you should wear a mask to prevent dust particles from being inhaled. ArtResin has been evaluated by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and has been designated non-toxic when used as directed and safe for home use in a well ventilated area!

Sent this to Blue Moon Studio that could not provide a SDS. They are from the US. I am pretty sure it is illegal not to provide one when asked. You actually have to be able to provide SDS when people ask. Thats really awful you cannot do that. I cannot use yours again after I use it up. This straight up scares me you cannot do that. Its ILLEGAL in US not to provide a SDS when asked. I am telling everyone not to use it now. Sorry but that is the consequences. I am straight up reporting them to Michaels. They NEED to know.

We can absolutely understand your reaction. We are happy to reassure you that ArtResin is safe and will not harm your health. ArtResin was developed when our founders Rebecca and Dave loved the look of epoxy resin in their artwork but didn't want to compromise their health while working with it. They teamed up with a chemist to develop an epoxy resin that was safe and free from all of the toxic fumes that typical epoxy resins have.

The purpose of this video is to inform and educate users on how to make informed decisions for the products they choose. This video is a tool that anyone can use to help them make the right choices for the products they choose to use in their home....whether it is epoxy resin or cleaning supplies--knowing how to interpret an SDS is important. Why you find it misleading is curious as there was no attempt to hide the fact that ArtResin made the video--infact, Rebecca introduces herself in the first 6 seconds. We are proud to offer a choice for artists who don't want to compromise their safety to use epoxy resin--this is the whole reason ArtResin was made! Don't take our word for it, go ahead and compare some SDS's from your favourite brands and make the best informed choice for yourself, whatever that may be.

​@@ArtresinIt's because ALL resins are toxic. Yours may have a different mix of ingredients, but that doesn't make it completely non-toxic. If that were true, your guidelines wouldn't advise to use it in a well-ventilated area. I'm glad at least that all the artists I know see this for the insidious, profit-driven greed your brand is. If you'd simply advertise as using less of a few specific chemicals rather than blatantly lying about being "non-toxic", I don't think you'd have the bad reputation you do.
