The Oct. 15 discussion will cover retrofit requirements, formulation performance, line flexibility and the economics of UV, UV-LED and electron-beam curing.
The 2025 RadTech Annual Winter Meeting covered key developments in photoinitiators, FDA regulations, life cycle assessments, and sustainability initiatives for UV/EB technologies.
The new coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.
"In 2024, the RadTech Board and membership will continue educational efforts to not only encourage the development of new materials, processes, and applications, but to better inform policy makers, regulators, and the general public about the importance of UV+EB to advanced, responsible manufacturing," said Michael Gould, RadTech President, RAHN USA.
RadTech - The Association for UV+EB Technology is offering a webinar in partnership with SUNY ESF that will explore the fine points of applying UV curable materials in a manufacturing process.
Sartomer is launching a new range of low-migration acrylate monomers and oligomers specifically designed for the formulation of UV curable inks and coatings dedicated to indirect food contact applications.
