Clean Air Awards for UV & EB Technology

CHEVY CHASE, Md.—RadTech--The Association for ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technology has been recognized for "Excellence in Advancement of Air Pollution Technology," at the 17th Annual Clean Air Awards by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in Los Angeles California. UV and EB technologies are used to cure or dry coatings, inks, adhesives and composites without the high levels of polluting emissions of traditional technologies. The technology is used in industries including automotive, printing and packaging, wood, electronics, plastics and aerospace. As a pollution prevention technology, the process minimizes waste, saves energy and is generally considered more productive and safer to use than other processes.
