We take pride in offering a first-class customer experience while providing advanced, accurate & exceptional electron beam services.
QUALITY YOU CAN COUNT ON
Electron Beam Services' accelerator produces electron beam energy to cross-link spooled products. EBS provides a service by processing our customer's products with this e-beam
energy.
CROSS-LINKING
Is a chemical reaction which can alter and enhance the physical properties of the material being treated. Cross-linking will change a thermoplastic into a thermoset and it will cure
rubber (vulcanization). The molecular structure of these materials tends to slip and slide over one another fairly freely. At elevated temperatures, these uncross-linked materials will
soften and eventually melt. When they are cross-linked, molecular movement is severely impeded and is stable against heat. This locking of the molecules is the basis for all benefits
of cross-linking.
BENEFITS OF CROSS-LINKING ON POLYMERS & ELASTOMERS
Increased tensile strength
Shrink-memory
Stress cracking resistance (ESCR)
Increased form stability
Improved impact strength
Heat sesistance
Resistance to abrasion
Reduces elongation (stretch)
PRODUCTS EBS CROSS-LINKS
