CAUTION
UV inks can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow the MSDS guidelines carefully in order
to ensure maximum safety. The information below is a summary of the MSDS documents
published by the UV ink manufacturer.
UV Ink Personal Safety
The operator must wear nitrile gloves, a protective apron, and safety glasses with side shields
when handling inks. Read and practice safety guidelines as outlined in the MSDS for each ink.
Post these documents in the work area as required by prevailing law. MSDS are provided with all
inks and flush when you purchase them.
NOTE
Permeation time of ink components through different protective aprons will vary. Protective
aprons must be replaced once contaminated.
Chemicals in UV ink begin to permeate nitrile gloves in less than 10 minutes. While this action
may not be visible, changing contaminated gloves should occur every few minutes. These
penetrating chemicals have no pigment so they are not visible; therefore just because you don’t
have pigment on the glove or your skin doesn’t mean that exposure has not occurred.
Do not use latex gloves. Harmful chemicals in the ink and flush can easily penetrate latex gloves.
Océ recommends that only nitrile gloves, which have been checked for chemical resistance and
approved by the Océ Occupational Health and Safety department, are used. At present, this
includes only the Ansell Touch N Tuff gloves, 92-600 for smooth or 92-605 for textured. Use the
gloves one time only. The 92-605 gloves have a longer cuff and offer more protection at the wrist.
Replace them immediately if they are punctured or degraded. Never re-use contaminated gloves
once they are removed.
