Will harmful substances be produced during the production of circular colored copperplate labels?

During the production of circular colored copperplate labels, harmful substances may indeed be produced. This process usually involves multiple stages such as design, plate making, printing, and cutting, among which the plate making and printing stages are key steps that may produce harmful substances.

Plate making process

In the process of plate making, traditional plate making techniques may use harmful chemicals such as acetone, dilute ammonia water, and other solvents with stimulating and anesthetic effects, which have gradually been discontinued. However, there are still some other chemicals that may be used, such as thinner (containing carcinogens such as toluene and cyclohexanone), as well as commonly used turpentine, alcohol, acetic acid (acetic acid), etc. Although these substances are not directly harmful, they still have irritants and can easily cause respiratory discomfort. In addition, odorless diluents extracted from petroleum may also be used as substitutes for turpentine, but they also pose a danger of stimulating the central nervous system. These harmful substances mainly enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, and other means, posing a threat to the health of operators.

Printing process

During the printing process, the ink used may contain toxic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and solvent gasoline. These substances can also enter the human body through the respiratory tract, skin, and other pathways, and long-term exposure can cause certain harm to the human body. For example, benzene can cause poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, insomnia, and memory loss. In severe cases, it may lead to diseases such as aplastic anemia and leukemia. In addition, harmful factors such as noise may be generated during the printing process, which can affect the auditory organs of operators.

Countermeasures

In order to reduce the impact of harmful substances during the production of circular colored copper plate labels, the following measures can be taken:

Use safer alternative materials and methods for plate making to reduce the use of harmful chemicals.

Strengthen ventilation and detoxification facilities to ensure a good working environment and discharge toxic gases outdoors.

Operators should wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, rubber aprons, goggles, dust masks, etc., to reduce exposure to harmful substances.

Regularly monitor the concentration and intensity of harmful factors in the work environment to ensure compliance with national hygiene standards.

Provide occupational health monitoring for operators and conduct regular occupational health examinations.

In summary, the production of circular colored copper plate labels may indeed produce harmful substances, but by taking appropriate measures, the impact of these substances on the health of operators can be effectively reduced.
