Crosslinking & Polymer Modification Property Improvements Sheet Processing E-beam Crosslinking vs Chemical Crosslinking September 28, 2020 / November 25, 2025 by ebeam 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: Read more »
Chain Scissioning Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Property Improvements Sterilization Crash Course Recap: The Polymer Dating Game May 13, 2019 / September 23, 2025 by ebeam [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. Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Property Improvements Crash Course Recap: Crosslinkable Polymers April 12, 2018 / October 2, 2019 by ebeam [siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Video”][/siteorigin_widget] The last E-BEAM Crash Course tackled the subject of crosslinkable polymers. But just what are crosslinkable polymers? Ionizing radiation produced by the electron beam breaks bonds within the molecules of the polymers. With some polymers, these bonds reform in a beneficial way, which we call crosslinking. For example, polyethylene is a polymer that […] Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Property Improvements Increasing UHMWPE abrasion resistance with electron beam processing September 5, 2017 / October 21, 2019 by ebeam Are you looking for a tough material with high abrasion resistance? The e-beam process can greatly improve the abrasion resistance of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is also known as UHMWPE. It’s pretty cool stuff. As the name implies, it is polyethylene with really long chains. In fact, its molecular weight […] Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Molded Parts Property Improvements Throwback Thursday: Long-lasting barrier-resistant properties June 8, 2017 / October 9, 2025 by ebeam With a show of hands, how many of you wear makeup on a daily basis? I myself never leave home (and actually rarely even walk around home by myself) without mascara and some form of gloss or lipstick. And in today’s world, a lot of us care a lot about what goes into our makeup. […] Read more »

May 19, 2016 / September 23, 2025 by ebeam [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRJQQE8qmMI[/embedyt] What if you had a tool you could use to improve your existing plastic or polymer product? Or a tool that enables you to create a new specialty product? What if that tool could improve the temperature rating of your product or improve its chemical resistance or give it the low-temperature impact […] Read more »
Crosslinking & Polymer Modification E-Beam Property Improvements Sheet Processing Crosslinked Foam and Its Application in the Automotive Industry December 21, 2015 / April 30, 2021 by ebeam Did you know that electron beam processing is used to create crosslinked polyolefin foam? The extruded, unfoamed matrix is beamed at E-BEAM Services in an efficient reel-to-reel process. Later it can be foamed in a high heat process offsite. Crosslinked foam has increased heat stability, strength, and chemical resistance while retaining flexibility. These properties make […] Read more »
