Gamma vs E-beam vs X-Ray: A Comparison
In the industrial sterilization industry, three primary sterilization methods are e-beam, gamma, and x-ray. Ionizing radiation is the second-largest method of choice when it comes to the industrial sterilization market, accounting for almost 45%. While gamma and e-beam are the traditional favorites, newer to the game is x-ray.
How does E-BEAM ensure my products will be sterilized and ready for consumer use QUICKLY?
With an increasing demand for sterilized products on the market, one question we get often is: how does E-BEAM ensure my products will be sterilized and ready for consumer use quickly? Well, there are a number of factors that go into that.
A time for thanks
This year has tested us all in ways we never imagined. 2020 has, in essence, turned our own personal worlds — and the world — upside down (and then spun them around, flipped them over again, and shaken them a bit, just for good measure).
Crash Course Recap: Lichtenberg Figures

E-beam Crosslinking vs Chemical Crosslinking
Crosslinked foams have improved physical properties over non-crosslinked foams and often go into more demanding applications, particularly where tolerances are more important, such as:

What is e-beam technology?
Electron beam processing is a technology with a broad range of commercial applications. It provides users with an effective and efficient means to bring about useful changes in the properties and performance of polymers and other materials. The technology is also widely used for the sterilization of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Crash Course Recap: Does e-beam make my products radioactive?
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDw35w1VLTY[/embedyt] One question we get a lot is: Does e-beam make my products radioactive? The short answer: No! The (slightly) longer answer:
How high-dose testing can be used to simulate radiation exposure for the nuclear industry
Nuclear reactors and radioactive materials play an important part in our society, such as the use of radioisotopes for medical treatments and the production of carbon-free energy. But using radiation in a safe and beneficial manner requires a deep understanding of the materials involved and their potential reactions to radiation. Shielding materials for medical isotopes […]
How does crosslinking improve wire and cable insulation?
When wire and cable is irradiated by electron beam, the electrons crosslink the jacket, improving performance characteristics – such as higher tensile strength, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and improved thermal resistance at elevated temperatures – without changing the dimensional properties.
