The history of radiation curing technology and products for release coating is well known to all of you. Therefore, today we will concentrate on new ideas and first results coming from the laboratories of the Th. Goldschmidt Company, who stands
Radiation Curing has proved to be an efficient method to provide polymeric layers by exposing liquid systems to UV or EB radiation. Besides the absence of non-reactive volatile solvents (VOCs) still used in many coatings, printing inks and impregnants it is the advantage
The "classic" electron beam technology, which began in the early 50's, made use of accelerating energies in the voltage range of 300 to 800 kV. The first EB processors built for the curing of coatings operated at 300 kV. Most EB applications which were
This author has previously reported survey results showing that the use of UV/EB curable materials has grown at a compound rate of about 1 0% per annum over the last decade. Together, with about 1 00 members of RadTech International North

Radiation curing is considered to be the most environmentally friendly technology for the polymerisation of films, due to the limited use of energy involved in the curing process and to the limited amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) employed in the process.
Over these past two decades four Community action programmes on the environment have given rise to about 200 pieces of legislation covering pollution of the atmosphere, water and soil, waste management, safeguards in relation to chemicals and biotechnology, product

In December 91, IBA signed an exclusivity agreement with the French Atomic Agency (CEA, Commissariat a l'Energie. Atomique) to cooperate in the development and industrialization of a new type of OW electron accelerator, called

Importers of chemicals into the United States often find themselves in a precarious position: under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), they are considered the equivalent of chemical manufacturers and thus are subject to the most burdensome responsibilities under TSCA
In the regulatory affairs section, you can find an overview of EU legislation relevant to UV and EB curing technology and our initiatives for the industry.
