Industrial

Electron Beam processing is an alternative to conventional methods such as chemical and thermal processing in many industrial applications. Utilizing Electron Beam processing can result in benefits in terms of improved product characteristics, reduced costs, and a cleaner environment.

• Plastics
• Cross-Linking
• Chain Scission
• Treatment of Semiconductors

Electrons can be used to initiate the polymerization reaction (in some epoxy resins) at a low temperature, thereby reducing the residual stresses in the finished composite. Advantages of Electron Beam over a thermal cure include: rapid cure cycle (minutes vs. hours); curing at ambient temperatures; low cost tooling; manufacture of unique products which cannot be made in any other way; possibility of curing repaired parts on-site.
