\"\"<\/a>3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive Spray is used regularly in a variety of creative industries, including graphic design, advertising, model-making and architectural firms, product packaging companies, printing shops, and more.<\/p>\n

Because this product\u00a0is\u00a0so useful and may be used practically everyday in some businesses, the health effects associated with it are often overlooked. In reality, your exposure to this product and other epoxy aerosol sprays should be monitored and controlled on a continuous basis (even if you only use it from time to time).<\/p>\n

Material Safety Data Sheet<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u00a0take a look at the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive Spray<\/a>, you can find the potential health hazards associated with this spray under “SECTION<\/strong> 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFCATION<\/strong>“,\u00a0sub-section\u00a0“POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

You’ll notice that ill health effects can occur through several points of entry: eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Additionally, it mentions the organs that are most likely to be effected.<\/p>\n

If you continue on to SECTION 8<\/strong> of the MSDS, you’ll find the EXPOSURE CONTROLS\/PERSONAL PROTECTION<\/strong> section. This section provides\u00a0recommended engineering controls that you can implement to help protect yourself from the hazards of this particular adhesive spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Section 8.1<\/strong> recommends using this product with local exhaust ventilation in a well-ventilated area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One example of local exhaust ventilation is a benchtop spray hood. Some benchtop spray hoods can be exhausted outdoors via ducting, but\u00a0depending on your location, city regulations may not allow you to vent this type of aerosol outdoors. Furthermore, many offices in high-rise builings simply don’t have the option to duct outside.\u00a0External venting\u00a0maintenance can also become costly, as ductwork may become clogged and require frequent cleaning or repair.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To avoid these issues, you might consider a Ductless Spray Booth<\/a>, which is\u00a0equipped with specialty filtration media that captures\u00a0hazardous overspray and fume\u00a0and therefore does not require exterior ducting.<\/div>\n
