What is Electron Beam Processing?
Electron Beam Processing is the method for producing chemical and physical changes in various substances by exposure to ionizing radiation in the form of energetic electrons.
Benefits of e-beam
Unlike other radiation processes, e-beam is highly controllable and can be turned off completely with no residual effects.
- Ease of use, installation, and superior process control
- Tighter tolerances
- Eliminates limitations in polymer compositions, compounding, and extrusion
- Low operating costs - reduces variable production costs
- Shorter treatment times, reducing time to market
- Can turn e-beam off, unlike a radioactive cobalt gamma source
- Minimizes chemicals used in production process
- Complies with chemical and environmental regulations
- Cleaner than alternative methods, opening up new eco-friendly applications
