EC-Series Flood Lamps for UVCS-Series Conveyors 15
 Rigid Plastic Film – Transparent, UV-blocking plastics (typically polycarbonate or acrylic) are
commonly used to create shielding where transparency is also desired. These rigid plastic films are
available either water-clear or tinted.
 Flexible Film – UV-blocking, flexible urethane films can be used to quickly create workstation
shielding. This UV-blocking, flexible urethane film is available from Dymax.
HIGH-TEMPERATURE SURFACES
Surfaces exposed to high-intensity curing lights will rise in temperature. The intensity, distance, exposure time,
cooling fans, and the type/color of the surface can all affect the actual surface temperature. In some cases,
exposed surfaces can reach temperatures capable of producing a burn or causing damage to a substrate. In
these cases, care must be taken to ensure either a more moderate surface temperature or appropriate
protection/training for operators.
OZONE
Standard Dymax bulbs (UVA type) generate an insignificant amount of UVC and therefore essentially no ozone.
Some UV light-curing systems, like those used to cure UV light-curable inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB and
UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O
2
) split into oxygen atoms
(O) and recombine with O
2
to create ozone O
3
. The current, long-term ozone concentration limit recommended
by ACGIH, NIOSH, and OSHA is 0.1 ppm (0.2mg/m
3
).
BRIGHT, VISIBLE LIGHT
The bright, visible light emitted by some UV light-curing systems can be objectionable to some workers and can
cause eyestrain. Tinted eye protection and/or opaque/tinted shielding can be utilized to address this concern.
SUMMARY
UV light sources can be more “worker friendly” than many commonly accepted industrial processes, provided the
potential concerns are addressed. Contact your Dymax representative for information regarding the proper use of
Dymax UV light-curing systems.
