The self-adhesive sensors cover 365-, 385- and 395-nanometer wavelengths and measure doses from 60 to 950 millijoules per square centimeter.

The companies are pairing energy-curable ink systems with sheetfed press technology to address makeready time, waste, color consistency and energy use.

UVC LEDs have come a long way over the past several years.

A recent decision signals continued friction around emissions definitions and emerging curing technologies.

The 2025 RadTech Annual Winter Meeting covered key developments in photoinitiators, FDA regulations, life cycle assessments, and sustainability initiatives for UV/EB technologies.

RadTech is set to explore the role of UV+EB technology in manufacturing at its upcoming 2025 event in Detroit.

UV coatings can deliver faster production speeds, reduce operation costs, and offer no VOC emissions, as evident in two customer case studies; one a sprinkler pipe manufacturer and the other a solar torque tube manufacturer.

Mercury vapor, light-emitting diode (LED), and excimer are distinct UV-curing lamp technologies. All three are used in various photopolymerization processes, but understanding the differences between them is instrumental in application and formulation development, UV-curing source selection, and integration.

"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. 

“Today's Choices, Tomorrow's Future: UV+EB for Sustainable & Responsible Manufacturing,” is the theme for the RadTech 2024 UV+EB Technology Conference & Exposition, May 20-22, at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida.
