  4. UV Industry of the Month: Wet-Wipe Closure Systems

    Comments Off on UV Industry of the Month: Wet-Wipe Closure Systems

    Did you know that UV lamps are used in the process of manufacturing wet-wipe packaging? Special resealable closures are used for wet-wipe packaging for cleaning, polishing, dusting and sterilizing products. These closures are unique because the adhesive needs be resistant to the chemicals inside the package which requires a UV curable acrylic adhesive. Some advantages of this adhesive type are consistent residue free removal, high-initial tack on a wide range of pouch materials, soft, noiseless opening, and reliable resealing properties.

  9. What You Need to Know About Proposition 65

    Comments Off on What You Need to Know About Proposition 65

    What is Proposition 65?
    Southern Lamps is committed to conducting its business in a socially responsible and ethical manner consistent with applicable national and local laws.

    Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to any products sold in California. The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This Act requires a warning on all products sold in California containing one or more of the 900 chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm. The list is maintained by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and can be found online at www.oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list . These chemicals can be in the products Californians’ purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or released into the environment.

    A Proposition 65 warning does not mean that a product is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. Proposition 65 warnings are intended to allow employees or consumers to take precautions handling the products and be aware they are exposed to that potentially hazardous chemicals.

    A Proposition 65 warning means that the business evaluated the exposure of harmful chemicals or has chosen to provide a warning simply based on their knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

    Mercury in UV lamps
    When electricity enters the lamp, mercury vapours inside the lamp produce UV light. UV lamps contain very small amounts of mercury.

    When the lamp is broken, the mercury fumes are released and disperse rapidly when the room is ventilated, the mercury in lamp fumes will have diluted enough that it is no longer pose any health risk. Even if there is only a small amount of mercury, it is still important to follow the proper cleaning and disposal guidelines for a broken UV lamp.

    • DO NOT use bare hands to clean up the broken glass (wear disposable plastic gloves)
    • DO air out the room
    • DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner, to avoid the spread of chemicals
    • DO NOT use the disposable material such us cardboard or paper to scoop up broken pieces
    • DO dispose of all clean-up equipment in a sealed container
    • DO NOT place the broken lamp in recycling bins for waste
    • DO check with your local government about disposal rules in your area

    Southern Lamps carries Mercury Spill Kits, which can be used for safe clean-up.
