E-Beam Applications

Key Applications of E-Beam Technology

E-beam technology has a vast range of applications, revolutionizing industries and improving everyday products. From enhancing material properties to tackling environmental challenges, here’s how e-beam is making a difference:

Sterilization

 E-beam provides a safe, effective way to sterilize medical equipment, food products, and packaging. Its major advantage over gamma-ray sterilization is the elimination of radioactive elements, ensuring operator safety and reducing environmental impact.

Crosslinking

By transforming materials, e-beam improves strength, durability, and performance. Applications include:

  • Wire & Cable Insulation: Enhanced resistance to heat and wear.
  • Shrink Tubing: Maintains shape memory for secure fits.
  • Film and Foam Development: Improved flexibility, toughness, and reliability.

Tires & Rubber

Crosslinking rubber (also called vulcanization) strengthens the material by forming chemical bonds between polymer chains to increase elasticity, durability, and strength, and to prevent stickiness. Many tire manufacturers use e-beam processing to reduce raw materials, improve yields, and refine tire specifications.
