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.
Conference sessions on the latest advances in coil coatings, sustainability, 3D printing/additive manufacturing, hot melt adhesives, and metal packaging brought the industry together to advance UV+EB technologies and helped attract first-time attendees.
"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.
RadTech - The Association for UV & EB Technology is reporting that the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) announced $5,040,000 in new funding for projects that reduce emissions from hexavalent chromium facilities.
