    I would check out bestchemsupply their products work with UV and conventional inks. The TF sheetfed fountain solution virtually eliminates UV ink misting. They have 2 washups that work with all inks. I have seen these products in action on sheetfed and web and was totally amazed. One of the presses I witnessed was a 1968 Hantscho web. The press operators said they had a an instant reduction in ink usage just by changing to the BestChem T web fountain solution.
    I have seen the MSDS sheets. As far as I know there is nothing that compares for clean chemistry. I think these products would be a big help in reducing or elinimating your dermatitis.

    Default Uv help !

    Yes YES YES!!!!

    UV can cause a rash , or other skin effects. Some people are more sensitive to it than others but it should not effect safety procedures .

    I have been around UV since day 1 at Sun Chemical and replaced solvent coatings. The UV is much improved from then. My concern is that cheaper raw materials may be more harsh than domestic suppliers.
    I will say it again for the 10 thousanth time any idiot can pic out the cheapest price for coating !!
    Most do.
    Anyone here of drayage (spelling?) does your salesmen even know the term ? a test for skin reaction.
    Mileage , some UV coatings can yield 20% more sheets.
    I could go on and I usually do.
    THE ANSWERS:
    USE A UV SKIN CREAM FOR PROTECTION ! I can get some to you.
    Second you can try other coating or inks I can help with the coatings

    Almost all UV inks and coatings contain Phthalates Phthalate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and BPA Bisphenol A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    It's no wonder that you get dermatitis and respiratory ailments. Until you remove the UV I think that your sensitivity will continue.
    Ask you ink and coating supplier if they have BPA and or Phthalate reduced or free products. Make sure that they have a certified lab test report.
