Chevy Chase, -- RadTech-The Association
for UV and EB technology, has announced dates for uv.eb WEST 2007, a two
day conference and table top exhibition, March 6-7, 2007 at the Sheraton
Gateway Hotel at LAX in Los Angeles, California. Presentations and demonstrations
by leading industry suppliers and users will target the environmental,
economic, energy savings and performance benefits of UV and EB - and
how the technology enables manufacturers to meet and exceed regulatory
requirements.
UV (ultraviolet) and EB (electron beam) are high value, rapid throughput
processes-- used to cure (or dry) coatings, inks, adhesives, and composites--offering
the virtual elimination of emissions and lower energy consumption compared
with traditional methods. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly
using this safe, fast and efficient pollution prevention technology, as
the industry continues to grow at over twice the rate of traditional processes.
Many west coast manufacturers using UV or EB already benefit from a number
of regulatory advantages, including:
- Permit exemptions from the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD)
- Regulatory exemptions for many UV/EB operations
- Recordkeeping exemptions
- Exemptions from Title V requirements
In addition, UV/EB technology is included in many BACT (Best Available
Control Technology) listings and is identified as more cost effective
than add-on controls by San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
uv.eb West 2007 includes a tabletop exhibit and conference program covering
the basics of UV & EB technology; plus, application workshops on aerospace
and defense, UV inkjet, wood finishing/building materials, composites,
adhesives, electronics, commercial printing/converting, metal, plastics
finishing, and more!
UV and EB are high value, rapid throughput processes offering the virtual
elimination of emissions and lower energy consumption compared with traditional
methods - providing manufacturers with a safe, fast and efficient pollution
prevention technology. As a result, the industry continues to grow at
