Mercury Bulbs (Lamps)
The bulbs used in UV lamp systems contain
mercury under medium pressure. Mercury is a
toxic substance and must not be ingested or come
into direct contact with the skin. Under normal UV
operating conditions, mercury presents no hazard
as it is completely contained in the sealed quartz
tube of the bulb; however, it is strongly
recommended that protective gloves and eye
protection be worn when handling UV bulbs.
These precautions should be followed when
disposing of UV bulbs:
S
Place the bulb in a rigid protective carton.
S
Dispose of used bulbs through a local mercury
recycling center.
S
Wash your hands if a bulb breaks: mercury
could come into contact with your skin.
S
Do not store or handle bulbs near food or
beverages.
S
Nordson Corporation will dispose of UV bulbs
free of charge provided the customer covers all
shipping costs associated with returning the
bulbs. For bulb disposal, please clearly mark
on the all bulb containers AND shipping
packages BULBS FOR DISPOSAL ONLY
Bulbs should be shipped to:

UV Curable Inks and
Products
Some materials used in UV curable inks,
adhesives, and varnishes are toxic. Before
handling them, read the Material Safety Data
Sheets provided by the manufacturer, use the
recommended personal safety equipment, and
follow the recommended procedures for safe use
and disposal.
Fire Safety
Under proper operating conditions, the surface
temperature of the bulb is anywhere between
700 − 900 _ C (1300 − 1700 _ F), and the vapor gas
inside the bulb is several thousand degrees
Fahrenheit.
Any form of flammable material (such as paper, lint,
powder, or dirt) trapped under the lamp, within the
lamp housing or in the lamp’s vicinity, will result in
an increased risk of fire.
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these
instructions.
S
Know where emergency stop buttons, shut-off
valves, and fire extinguishers are located.
S
Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment
according to the instructions in this manual.
S
Always keep a fire extinguisher approved for
electrical equipment near the unit.
Should a fire occur, the operator must:
1. Switch the equipment off immediately.
2. If possible, put out the fire with a fire
extinguisher.
Action in the Event of a
Malfunction

malfunctions, shut off the system immediately and
perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect and lock out system electrical
power.
