Can UV/EB technology serve as a sustainable solution to the energy crisis? This article examines the factors driving UV/EB technology, supported by case studies demonstrating how it enables innovative manufacturing processes that consume less energy, yet also meet or exceeds air quality standards without requiring add-on pollution controls.

The European Coil Coating Association considers UV- / EB-curing technology to be the most significant game changer in terms of decarbonization of the coil coating industry.

Developer and manufacturer of electron beam solutions, ebeam Technologies, announced the installation of an EBLab at Zhongshan EB Curing Technologies Co. Limited (EBC). 

Paint and coatings professionals who continue to contribute to the evolution of ebeam-friendly formulations and applications help bring light to this important but often secretive technology, and also equip their customers with new tools to save money, improve their production techniques and introduce new, differentiated products.

Low-energy EB processing is a technology in evolution. After decades of refinement and integration it continues to offer the potential of significantly enhancing production efficiencies and environmental benefits for manufacturing and brand owners focusing on sustainability, consumer safety, cost competitiveness and product differentiation.
