QUALITY

Electron beam offers a wider range of physical properties than any other drying or curing technology. This is primarily due to the highly cross-linked cure of the inks, coatings, and laminating or PSA adhesives. Higher gloss. Lower matte finishes. Better scuff and abrasion resistance. Better chemical resistance. Highest heat resistance. And consistent COF with electron beam crosslinking.

SAFE

ebeam inks, coatings, and laminating adhesives are FDA compliant and safe for food packaging. ebeam technology has been used in food packaging for over 40 years worldwide and for sterilizing devices. EB chemistries contain NO Odor or Extractables primarily because they contain NO Photoinitiators. Further, the beam processing are not flammable, toxic, or hazardous.

GREEN

EB inks, coatings, and adhesives are 100% solids. They contain NO VOC’s. There are no initial regulatory filings or ongoing environmental H&S compliance. NO worries about VOC’s, explosion proofing, carbon taxes, CO2 emissions or government reporting. Additionally, there is no wasted energy in producing, mixing, shipping, drying, collecting and recovering, or incinerating solvents. Great for both the environment and the bottom line.
