  • Page 6: Dymax Uv Light-Curing System Safety Considerations

    Each is described below. UV Exposure Standard Dymax UV light-curing systems and bulbs have been designed to primarily emit UVA light (Figure 1). UVA light is generally considered the safest of the three UV ranges: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Although OSHA does not currently regulate ultraviolet light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for ultraviolet light.
  • Page 7 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 inks, emit primarily “shortwave” (UVB and UVC) energy. Upon exposure to UVC light (specifically <240 nm), oxygen molecules (O...
