The 2025 RadTech Annual Winter Meeting covered key developments in photoinitiators, FDA regulations, life cycle assessments, and sustainability initiatives for UV/EB technologies.
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.
Joe Powder, aka Kevin Biller of ChemQuest Powder Coating Research, shares his powder coating knowledge and expertise by answering questions sent in from around the world.
Created to recognize innovative start-ups and innovators for ultraviolet and electron beam (UV/EB) technologies, RadTech, the UV/EB industry association, announced its RadLaunch Class of 2023.
RadTech – the Association for Ultraviolet and Electron Beam Technologies (UV+EB) announced the group's president for the next two-years, the incoming president to assume office in 2025, as well as its incoming and remaining board members.
