Safety data sheets
Safety data sheet OPC photoconductor drum
General:
The coating of the OPC photoconductor drum does not serve as
protection or decoration but primarily represents a
semiconductor. For this reason, these OPC photoconductor
drums are highly sensitive to contamination, chemical reactions
and physical contacts.
Precautions:
Store cool and dry!
Avoid direct light as well as chemically aggressive gases and
fumes!
Do not touch the surface of the photoconductor drum!
Only open the packing when you need the photoconductor drum!
Avoid scratches!
There will be an irreparable damage in the case of improper
handling!
Risk-benefit ratio:
Periodic cleaning of the drum (e.g., during maintenance work) will
only insignificantly extend drum life or dependability. The
functionality of individual drums may slightly improve after
cleaning. However, there may be damages to the drums during
the cleaning process which in consequence would ask for
immediate replacement.
Cleaning does not extend the average drum life.
Why do drums need to be cleaned?:
Cleaning of the OPC drums will only become necessary in the
case of poor toner, developer, paper or cleaning sheet quality.
