Laser manufacturer replies

Yes, it can be used. It is not harming the machine in any way like e.g. PVC. When someone buy materials, that person is intitled to ask for a Data sheet where all things is stated by the manufacturer, e.g what happens when it is vaporized, which fumes etc. Normally this comes with the material when you buy it, but sometimes you don't get it.

Here is a nice link if you would like to learn more:
