UP Resin Handling Guide

EuCIA's has developed together with the UP Resin Group of PlasticsEurope a series of safe handling guides for composite manufacturers working with unsaturated polyester resins. The series, called the UP Resin Handling Guide, intends to help composite manufacturers to meet the increasingly severe requirements of the European health, safety and evironment legislation.

The UP Resin Handling Guide provides processors of unsaturated polyester resins with information about the best available emission control techniques for reducing styrene emissions in the work place in order to reduce worker exposure, and how to fulfil the requirements of "clean air" legislation in order to protect the environment. 

At this moment the UP Resin Handling Guide consists of 13 different documents in pdf format. The original documents are kept on the website of PlasticsEurope. under the following link:

At this moment the following EuCIA versions are available on the EuCIA website. They can be downloaded by clicking the links below.
