Electron Beam Curing in PVC Wide-Web Applications
By Gary A. Sigel, Ph.D., senior principal scientist, Armstrong Flooring Several reviews have been written on the use of electron beam (EB) curing for wide-web flexible package printing utilizing flexographic ink systems that can be cured instantly after the last printing station.1 EB offers several advantages in wide-web processing of films, including fast cure rates; … [Read more...] about Electron Beam Curing in PVC Wide-Web Applications
Q&A: What factors affect COF variation on EB-curable coatings?
By Im Rangwalla, Market Development Manager, Energy Sciences, Inc. One of the important applications of electron beam processing is curing coatings on surface-printed substrates for various applications, such as outdoor fertilizer bags, candy wrappers and pet food bags. In each case, the EB coating is designed to replace a laminate - which means replacing a film layer. The … [Read more...] about Q&A: What factors affect COF variation on EB-curable coatings?
Electron Beam Curing Properties of Waterborne Monomer and Polymer Materials
By Stephen C. Lapin and Kathryn E. Classon, PCT Engineered Systems, a division of ebeam Technologies, Comet Group Abstract The electron beam (EB) curing properties of acrylate functional monomer/water solutions and polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) in water were characterized. Many of the materials showed good curing properties by EB alone without prior thermal drying. … [Read more...] about Electron Beam Curing Properties of Waterborne Monomer and Polymer Materials
Advances in Electron Beam Curing in Wide Web Flexible Package Printing
By David A. Biro and Jim Bishop, Sun Chemical, USA Abstract Electron beam (EB) curing for wide web flexible package printing continues to evolve. Flexographic ink systems have been optimized to allow wet trapping of ink colors cured with a single electron beam unit after the last station in a central-impression press configuration. Long runs with stable printing performance … [Read more...] about Advances in Electron Beam Curing in Wide Web Flexible Package Printing
