Electron Beam Curing

Through the combination of previously developed high efficient surface densification.

Electron beam curing.

Esi s eb coatings provide excellent adhesion offer the highest gloss available and are resistant to scratches and abrasions. The electron beam processing in wires and cables helps to improve thermal chemical barrier impact wear and other mechanical properties to meet the demanding applications of the customers in wires and cables. The process applies color to a single sheet of kraft paper which is adhered to a hpl board in such a way that it will keep its color durably while remaining scratch resistant. Ebeam is the cure for food safe packaging.

Both uv and eb offset inks were seen as substitutes for high solvent heatset web offset inks. Fast curing process via electron beam eb irradiation to polymerize chemically impregnated wood products to replace the conventional slow thermal cure process. Esi pioneers the low voltage eb market. Electron beam eb coating technology is used to convert a liquid coating into a solid cured film.

Eb technology is used in flexible packaging and folding carton packaging to cure inks coatings and laminating adhesives. Using electron beam technology food packaging producers can eliminate risks associated with photoinitiators migration and voc emissions. Electron beam curing is a method of curing paints and inks without the need for traditional solvent. Electronic beam curing ebc is a surface curing process in the manufacture of high pressure laminate hpl boards.

As urban populations have become more distanced from the food source packaging has played an increasing role in our daily lives. Unlike other hpl creation methods ebc does not use heat. Eb coatings are available when unsurpassed decorative and functional coating features are required. Unlike thermal convection systems eb curing is a direct means of energy transfer.

In fact it s been used in web offset printing for decades. The ebeam compact is the world s most compact electron beam inkjet dryer enabling inline curing with narrow web digital inkjet printers making industrialized eb. Energy emitted from an eb unit is directly absorbed in the coating and causes the chemical changes that convert a liquid coating into a dried and cured material and does so irrespective of pigment and pigment loading. Ultraviolet electron beam curing today radiation curing is a well established industrial process to cure the likes of inks lacquer paint adhesives and for crosslinking of polymers ultraviolet uv curing uses high intensity light rather than heat to dry or cure and harden coatings adhesives and inks.

Like uv curing eb curing is not a new technology. This is evident from the large number 2500 of eb machines presently working in india and abroad.
