Recent technology advances have improved operating efficiency, making e-beam sterilization a safe, efficient, reliable source of energy that is gaining in popularity.  Electron beam radiation is generally characterized by low pentration and high-dose rates.

E-beam is similar to gamma processing that it alters various chemical and molecular bonds on contact. E-beam radiation has typically lower cost compared to gamma radiation mainly due to higher dose rate which reduces the time of exposure at the same target dose.  The shorter time of exposure of e-beam radiation minimizes the oxidation reactions that can occur at the surface of the polymers and consequently has less effect on the physical and optical properties of most resins when compared to gamma radiation.

NOTES: Flexible to use in various processes, including injection molding, injection blow molding, extrusion blow molding and extrusion.
