Intended Audience Dymax prepared this user guide for experienced process engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel. If you are new to UV light curing and do not understand the instructions, contact Dymax Application Engineering to answer your questions before using the equipment.
Light Exposure Figure 1. Light Spectrum Standard Dymax VisiCure systems have been designed to primarily emit visible light (as shown in Figure 1). Although OSHA does not currently regulate visible or ultraviolet-light exposure in the workplace, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does recommend Threshold Limit Values (TLV’s) for ultraviolet light.

Empirical testing should be used to verify the exact temperature rise in each application. Ozone The Dymax BlueWave LED VisiCure does not generate UVB or UVC, therefore no ozone is generated while operating this equipment. Bright, Visible Light The bright, visible light energy emitted by curing systems can cause eye strain if proper eye protection or shielding is not used.
Both the lower working temperature and lack of spurious frequency transmission that this system produces make it even more user friendly. Contact your Dymax representative for information regarding the proper use of Dymax curing systems.
