New Study Shows Mega Sustainability Advantages of UV/EB Technology

"We are excited to see yet another report showing UV/EB reduces energy demand and greenhouse gases—these are issues that help make a low-energy process into a high-energy business," says Don Duncan of Wikoff Color and president of RadTech.

According to Ronald Golden, Ph.D., founder and principal of FocalPoint, "Based on RadTech data for 2011 North American shipments of UV and EB curing formulations, the annual benefits from the use of UV/EB instead of thermal curing are estimated as a savings of 60 Billion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas; 620 Thousand MWh of Electrical Energy; 3.75 Million Metric Tons of CO2 Emissions; and 220 Thousand Gallons of Diesel Fuel Consumption."
