Solvent-Free EB for Sustainable Manufacturing
Presented by Sage Schissel, PCT Ebeam and Integration
Solvent-free electron beam (EB) coatings offer a more sustainable pathway for advanced manufacturing by eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste. Unlike conventional thermal or solvent-based curing, EB coatings polymerize instantly under accelerated electrons, enabling high-speed production with a smaller environmental footprint. This presentation will highlight a couple of recent examples, including in coil coating and battery manufacturing, where EB coatings have been used as a green alternative to thermal coatings. As sustainability pressures grow, solvent-free EB coatings provide manufacturers with a versatile and scalable solution that advances both performance and environmental goals.
