MD&M East: The Big Apple Welcomes Electron Experts E-BEAM Services

It’s June, and that means E-BEAM Services will be in NYC next week, taking in a show, eating a hot dog or two in Central Park, and bringing the science of electron beam sterilization to the MD&M East trade show. This show is always the place to be in the medical device world as the […]

How do I convert from ETO or Gamma to E-beam sterilization?

  Whether you’re looking for faster processing time or something more environmentally friendly, e-beam can be a great choice for terminal sterilization. However, the thought of going through the conversion process from an existing sterilization method can have those of you in quality hiding under your desks. The bad news? Yeah. Not gonna lie. It’s […]

Crash Course Recap: The Polymer Dating Game

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZsoTAlwLF8[/embedyt]   Whether you need terminal sterilization or crosslinking, your product either consists of or is packaged in at least one polymer. How those polymers react to e-beam is extremely important. In the E-BEAM Crash Course: The Polymer Dating Game, we take a look at three common polymers, and how they react to e-beam.

Crash Course Recap: Amorphous vs Crystalline Polymers

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S-SLnbCUh0[/embedyt] Are you an organized traveler? Do you know how to pack your business pants to minimize creases? Or are you more likely to be throwing things in a bag at the last minute? And what in the world do these questions have to do with crosslinkable polymers?

Radiation Chemistry Rules: What is Glass Transition Temperature?

glass transition temperature

Electron beam crosslinking can enhance different polymer properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, high-heat properties, abrasion and chemical resistance, and environmental stress crack resistance. But not all polymers crosslink. So how can you tell if your polymer is a good fit for e-beam crosslinking? One of the factors that help us know if a polymer […]
