Electron beam and ultraviolet curing technologies are both advanced, environmentally friendly, and are more effective methods for curing inks, laminating adhesives, and coatings than solvent or water based technologies. However, the two are very distinct methods, and sometimes one will be better suited for different applications than the other will. One factor that separates the two technologies is material penetration, and to help you choose the technology that’s best for you, today we will discuss how Electron Beam and UV curing differ in terms of material penetration, and how they perform in different situations.
