MORE AND MORE flexible packaging applications including adhesives.

MORE AND MORE flexible packaging applications including adhesives, coatings and inks have been drawn to electron beam (EB) and ultraviolet light (UV) curable chemistry for many obvious reasons.

The primary reasons include naught to very low VOC and HAPS (hazardous air pollutants); space saving (small footprint); increase in productivity (faster line speed); lower bottom consumption; lower overall operating cost; special aesthetics and performance features; and proces enabling.

These advantages have readyed changes in the graphic arts industry (paperback parts magazines, labels, adhesives, pet regimen bags, folding cartons, CDs, etc) and any industrial applications (vinyl flooring, copse finishing, metal tubing, lamp
