Safety
WARNING! If you use this light-curing system without first reading and understanding the
information in this user guide, injury can result from exposure to high-intensity light. To reduce
the risk of injury, read and ensure you understand the information in this user guide before
assembling and operating a Dymax UV conveyor system.
To use this conveyor system safely, it must be set up and operated in accordance with the
instructions given by Dymax. Using the system in any other manner will impair the protection of
the system. Dymax assumes no liability for any changes that may impair the protection of the
system.
General Safety Considerations
The Edge-Carry conveyor is designed to maximize operator safety and minimize exposure to light-curing
energy. To use the unit safely, it must be set up and operated in accordance with the instructions in this user
guide. All users of Dymax equipment should read and understand this user guide before assembling and using
the equipment.

Dymax Edge-Carry Conveyor User Guide
To learn about the safe handling and use of light-curable formulations, obtain and read the MSDS for each
product. Dymax includes an MSDS with each adhesive sold. In addition, fluid product MSDS can be requested
through the Dymax website.
Dymax UV Light-Curing System Safety Considerations
Dymax UV light-curing technology has been used successfully for over 30 years. The fast cure, one-component
nature of our UV light-curing technology has made it the process of choice for many manufacturers requiring a
"cure on demand" assembly process. Operators must understand these four concepts to use the UV light
source safely: UV exposure, high-temperature surfaces, ozone, and bright, visible light. Each is described
below.
UV Exposure
Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems have been designed primarily to emit UVA energy (Figure 1). UVA
energy is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not
currently regulate UV light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet light.
The strictest interpretation of the TLV (over the UVA range) for workers’ eyes and skin allows continuous
exposure up to 1 mW/cm2(intensity). Unless you are placing bare hands into the curing area, it is unusual to
exceed these limits. To put 1 mW/cm2limit into perspective, a cloudless summer day will typically exceed
3 mW/cm2of UVA light, and also include the more dangerous UVB light (primarily responsible for sun tans,
sun burns, and skin cancer) as well.
Figure 1. UV Spectrum
Checking the Workstation
The human eye cannot detect "pure" UV light, only visible light. A radiometer should be used to measure stray
UV light to confirm the safety of a UV light-curing process. A workstation that exposes an operator to more
than 1 mW/cm2of UVA continuously should be redesigned.
Protecting Operators
Light-curing technology can be a regulatory compliant, "worker-friendly" manufacturing process when the
proper safety equipment and operator training is utilized. There are two ways to protect operators from UV
exposure: shield the operator and/or shield the source.

6
Dymax Edge-Carry Conveyor User Guide
Shield the Operator —UV-Blocking Eye Protection - UV-blocking eye protection is recommended when
operating UV light-curing systems. Both clear and tinted UV-blocking eye protection is available from Dymax.
UV-Blocking Skin Protection —Where the potential exists for UV exposure upon skin, opaque, UV-blocking
clothing, gloves, and full-face shields are recommended.
Shield the Source of UV
Any substrate that blocks UV light can be used as a shield to protect workers from stray UV light. The following
materials can be used to create simple shielding structures or blind corners:
Sheet Metal —Sheet metal (aluminum, steel, stainless steel, etc) should be coated black or black anodized to
minimize reflection of UV and visible light toward operators.
Rigid Plastic Film —Transparent or translucent/UV-blocking plastics (typically polycarbonate or acrylic) are
commonly used to create shielding where some level of transparency is also desired. These rigid plastic films
are available wither 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, call for assistance.
High-Temperature Surfaces
Surfaces exposed to high-intensity curing lights may rise in temperature. The intensity, distance, exposure
time, cooling fans, and composition of the surface can all affect the rise in 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 lamps (UVA type) generate an insignificant amount of UVC and therefore essentially no
ozone. Some UV light-curing systems, like those used to cure UV inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB and
UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O2) split into oxygen
atoms (O) and recombine with O2to create ozone O3. The current, long-term ozone concentration limit
recommended by ACGIH, NIOSH, and OSHA is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3).
Bright, Visible Light
The bright, visible light energy emitted by UV light-curing systems can cause eye strain if proper eye protection
or shielding is not used. The proper use of tinted eye protection and/or opaque/tinted shielding can be utilized
to reduce eye strain and 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.
