E-BEAM Services, Inc. is the leading provider of contract electron beam processing services for:

Crosslinking and Chain Scission

E-beam crosslinking for plastics provides all of crosslinking's advantages — including tensile and impact strength, creep resistance, durability, solvent and chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, environmental stress crack resistance and barrier properties - but none of the disadvantages of chemical crosslinking.

E-beam crosslinking does not require any additives nor does it generate hazardous chemical by-products. This crosslinking method is energy efficient and the minimal amount of exposure time to the ebeam helps ensure high throughputs.

Electron beam crosslinking is most frequently used for polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride products, but there is a growing amount of ebeam crosslinking of fluoropolymers including ETFE in molded parts and specialty wire and cable.

Chain Scission

Electron beam processing can boost properties by creating controlled degradation - or chain scission in certain materials.

As an example, e-beams can break down materials like Teflon to create PTFE micropowders - increasingly useful in inks, coatings and lubricants.

Chain scission via electron beam also modifies polypropylene, resulting in a more homogenized melt flow. This e-beam processing has practical applications in injection molding (reduced warping), films (improved opticals), and fiber/textiles (easier melt draw).

Sterilization and Bioreduction

Electron beam sterilization (e-beam sterilization) is a commercially successful technology for sterilizing a variety of disposable medical devices with a wide range of densities.

The ebeam inactivates microorganisms either by causing microbial death as a direct effect of the destruction of a vital molecule of by an indirect chemical reaction. This is the same mechanism as in gamma irradiation, and the dose required is the same.

Advanced electronics precisely control the use of electrons in the sterilization of medical devices. For many materials, ebeam processing results in less material degradation than with gamma irradiation.

We typically sterilize medical products in the original shipping containers, saving you time and maintaining package integrity.

Many products have bio burdens that cause problems with their end usage. E-BEAM Services, Inc. provides manufacturers, contract manufacturers, contract packagers and distributors of pharmaceuticals, foods (including pet foods) and medical devices with fast, effective, precision controlled, e-beam bioreduction or sterilization services designed to safely and effectively reduce or eliminate microbial organisms. No chemicals or other additives are used.

The packaged products undergo bioreduction on a conveyor within the original unopened shipping cartons. High-energy electrons irradiate the product and kill the microorganisms. The process is immediate and does not require any quarantine isolation or supply chain downtime. The product is ready to ship immediately.

Plastic Rheology

One of the most valuable applications of ebeam processing involves relatively low levels of electron beams to bring about subtle yet beneficial changes in the melt rheology of raw plastics.

For cross-linkable plastics, the exposure of pellets will increase molecular weight and melt viscosity and lower melt index or melt flow rate. While several "thermochemical" options exist for making controlled rheology resin pellets, ebeam processing provides for high throughput and clean, precise and reproducible results.

Composite curing

Electron beam curing of adhesives and resins is an emerging technology offering significant advantages for the rapid manufacturing of a variety of composite structures and components for aerospace, automotive, and consumer applications.

E-beam composite curing offers important improvements over traditional thermal curing methods, including:

  • Shorter curing times
  • Lower energy consumption
  • Reduced volatile emissions
  • Less expensive tooling materials

    • Composite curing via electron beam can occur quickly at both ambient and sub-ambient temperatures. Electron beam processing not only increases through-puts, but it also allows a high level of control over e-beam doses and the composite curing energy-absorption profile.

    E-beam cured materials possess excellent mechanical properties, even after thermal or cryogenic cycling.

    Semiconductor Enhancement

    The use of a high-energy electron beam processing to control semiconductor switching speeds offers many advantages over gold diffusion and low-energy beam techniques.

    Unlike gold doping, ebeam processing:

  • Can occur at any time during the manufacturing of semiconductors
  • Is reversible, allowing the opportunity to rework semiconductors
  • Provides for uniform treatment of semiconductor enhancement.
