UV+EB Technology

Energy saved always is better than energy reduced. Scope 4, also called emission avoidance, truly focuses on efficiency. There are multiple opportunities to report on CO2 emissions that were never created because of the use of #UVEBTechnology in a product’s manufacturing. Learn more at https://zurl.co/BsrN.

#3DPrinted materials manufactured through a #UVCuring process such as SLA and other techniques are demanding higher performance properties in comparison to the rapid prototyping work that initially captured most of the attention and volume of light-cured additive manufacturing.

At the recent 2023 PAMA Workshop, it came to our attention that while we understood companies often employed their own SOPs to measure print characteristics, we didn’t realize how open they might be to sharing these with the community at large. This struck us as not only insightful, but also something that could be quite useful if distributed through the right channels. To facilitate this insight, #UVEBTechnologyMagazine sat down with Michelle Hoffecker, engineering manager, and Matt Panzer, principal R&D scientist, of Carbon to discuss the evolution of their approach and methods to characterizing accuracy for their print processes.

On March 15, 2024, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an administrative stay on the SEC's Climate-Related Disclosures rule and, on March 21, a US judicial panel consolidated at least nine of the lawsuits into a single case to be heard by the randomly selected St. Louis-based 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Pending the court’s ruling, implementation and enforcement of the SEC’s Climate-Related Disclosures rule temporarily is paused. The 8th Circuit ultimately will decide the constitutionality of the rule and whether it can proceed. Learn more at https://zurl.co/qp3H. #UVEBTechnologyMagazine

Developing safer, more biocompatible, less hazardous UV adhesives will immensely help users of all wearable devices. This research dives into the development of safer, less hazardous #UV adhesives by utilizing safer monomers and oligomers when formulating and ultimately ensuring these adhesives have less extractable and leachable unreacted materials.

In the 3rd and 4th Quarter 2023 issues of #UVEBTechnology, we discussed the preparation of nanocomposites made by incorporating CNTs into UV-polymerizable formulations. Those two articles summarized the experimental techniques developed by undergraduate students at the University of Houston-Downtown to determine how well SWNTs were dispersed into an acrylate-functional medium and the effects observed of the SWNTs on the reactivity and other properties of UV-polymerizable systems.

Cleveland Steel Container (CSC), was the first company in the world to commercially produce coated coil using both #UV and #EB technologies. To celebrate 10 years of production, let’s take a look at what drove CSC’s decision, the benefits and challenges of switching to UV/EB, and what the future might hold for UV/EB coil coating at https://zurl.co/1ySc . #UVEBTechnologyMagazine

Many companies and organizations are aware of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, which is the globally recognized standard to measure and help decrease CO2 emissions. There are three well-known scopes that help companies measure and understand their roles in creating carbon emissions.
