Fusion UV Systems’ products comply with all IMERC and state mercury laws

Fusion UV Systems, Inc. reported that all of its manufactured products, including its bulbs incorporating small quantities of mercury and other proprietary materials, comply with all state mercury laws, including those states participating in the Interstate Mercury Education and Reductions Clearing House (IMERC).

In recognition of the pollution prevention benefits of UV curing (near zero VOC emissions and reduced hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)) and mercury’s vital role in this technology, Fusion’s UV systems are exempt from state legislated schedules to phase out the use of mercury in certain products. Mercury is unique among elements in its efficiency and strength of UV emissions. This allows Fusion UV Systems to produce high power, stable UV light sources for the curing of complex UV-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives for a diverse array of manufacturing processes and applications.

According to David Harbourne, president of Fusion UV Systems, Inc, ‘We are very serious about our environmental stewardship program and apply this concern to every product we manufacture. In addition to the regulatory compliance, Fusion offers at no charge to our customers, a unique take-back program which enables us to ensure proper handling and disposal of our bulbs.’
