UV and EB offer manufacturers a high value, rapid throughput coating, adhesive, ink, and composites curing technology, which virtually eliminates emissions and lowers energy consumption compared with traditional curing methods.  UV/EB technology typically provides users a safer, faster, more efficient process, and, as a result, the industry has been growing at over twice the rate of the traditional processes over the last several years.
