Low-energy EB processing is a technology in evolution. After decades of refinement and integration it continues to offer the potential of significantly enhancing production efficiencies and environmental benefits for manufacturing and brand owners focusing on sustainability, consumer safety, cost competitiveness and product differentiation.
RadTech, the Association for UV and EB Technology, is offering an event that explores the continued emergence of UV and EB technologies used in curing applications.
“The Future of UV/EB Advanced Manufacturing: Trends, Strategies, and Application” is a free international webinar series that addresses timely and relevant trends, issues and applications for individuals and organizations interested in expanding or exploring UV/EB curing technologies.
3D printing – or additive manufacturing – has come a long way in a very short time, aided in no small measure by the capabilities of UV and EB curing. In this article, the Secretary General of RadTech Europe, the European association for the radiation curing technologies, reviews the current status in the dynamic 3D printing market.
A family of new radiation-curable additives with an improved compatibility in various formulations (solvent-free, solvent and waterborne) and covering a broad slip range has been developed.
Architectural fittings and infrastructure, flooring, furniture, and appliances may seem to have little in common except their intended final location – a building. In fact, they are linked by a process in their manufacture that is lean, green and cost-effective: energy curing of adhesives, resins and other coatings.
