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.
Daybreak Technologies has opened a new 5000-square-foot research and development laboratory at Gateway University Research Park in Browns Summit, North Carolina.
