E-BEAM – Product Development
Product development process

Innovating at the Speed of Light

You have the vision, we have the expertise to help you see it through.

If you’re facing a product hurdle, electron beam could be the missing piece.

World-Changing innovation requires world-class collaboration

World-Changing innovation requires world-class collaboration

E-BEAM has a proven track record of helping our customers develop innovative solutions to their most challenging problems. We have the knowledge & curiosity to pair with your product or application expertise. We also have the persistence to get you to an effective solution.

And we’ll do all of this confidentially to help you gain the competitive advantage you are after!

So, How Does it Work?

1.

You meet with your E-BEAM representative to walk through an overview of your goals

2.

We help you design the experiment and tell you what it will cost before we get started

3.

Based on our years of experience, E-BEAM can help you interpret experimental outcomes and help you overcome challenges along the way.

4.

We’ll also work with you to determine a configuration that minimizes future production costs for the product

5.

Once you have developed your proprietary product, E-BEAM uses our high volume electron beam accelerators for production

What materials respond well to electrons?

What materials respond well to electrons?

The various versions of polyethylene crosslink readily, often turning a commodity plastic part into a specialty product. Some fluoropolymers and PVC compounds also are used in commercial crosslinking applications. Other widely used polymers, like nylon, crosslink best when compounded with a crosslinking promoter.

Some polymer materials undergo chain scissioning. That turns out to be valuable in the production of Teflon® micro-powders, and in other applications.

Some crystal structures undergo valuable changes under electron beam irradiation. Diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor products can be improved, and gemstones such as topaz, rubelita, and diamonds are colored with electron beam irradiation.
