IRRADIATION

Electron Beam Technologies has three electron beam irradiation lines which are capable of producing electron beam energies from 425,000 volts up to
1,500,000 volts.

Electron Beam Irradiation Service to specification is available for all continuous product such as insulated wire, jacketed cable, tubing, and hose. Sensitive material handling equipment allows line tensions as low as 250 grams for processing delicate medical tubing.

Many polymers can be irradiation cross-linked for improved physical properties and end use performance. Compounds of Hypalon, Neoprene, Chlorinated Polyethylene, Polyurethane, and EPDM are readily cross linked or thermoset using electron beam irradiation. Plastics such as Polyethylene, PVC, and Polyurethane, to name a few, can also be cross linked with a high energy electron beam.

Irradiation service on any of our three electron beam systems is available by hourly contract for Research, Development, and Prototyping projects.

Irradiation Dosimetry is calibrated to National Institute of Standards and Technology.
