Who Should Attend
- Individuals who wish to have a better understanding of the range of applications that can be addressed by UV/EB Technology.
Future of UV/EB Advanced Manufacturing: Trends, Strategies, and Applications
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s (SUNY-ESF) in collaboration with RadTech International North America presents The Future of UV/EB Advanced Manufacturing: Trends, Strategies, and Applications - a monthly webinar series.
This national webinar series will address timely and relevant trends, issues and applications for individuals and organizations committed to expanding or exploring Ultraviolet/Electron beam (UV/EB) curing technologies. Selected topics will include an introduction to UV/EB materials, equipment, measurements, state and federal regulations and applications to food packaging and metals substrates. Webinars will entail sixty minutes of real-time presentation and interactive facilitated discussion with participants. This webinar series will also feature training and education opportunities available through the SUNY-ESF/RadTech collaboration. All webinars are offered free to interested individuals.
RadTech International North America is the nonprofit organization dedicated to the technical, educational and market advancement of Ultraviolet (UV) and Electron Beam (EB) Technology. RadTech has over 600 members that supply and use UV/EB equipment, raw materials and formulated products.
How to Attend Webinars:
Radiation Curable Additives Enabling Excellent Paint Surfaces
Paulo Roberto Vieira Jr, PhD, Cytec
April 29, 2013
Webinar Description:
Sometimes deviations from the evenness and uniform smoothness of UV/EB cured surfaces may be an indication of an imperfect coating process. Examples of such deviations include orange peel, peaks, craters, fish eyes and pinholes--most are related to variations in surface tension. To prevent or reduce such defects, flow and leveling additives are used. In this webinar we will discuss how appropriate radiation cure formulations with surface tension modifying additives can result in excellent paint surfaces meeting the most demanding customer specifications.

Staying in Compliance and in Business with UV/EB
Rita Loof, Director of Environmental Affairs, RadTech International North America.
January 14, 2013
Webinar Description:
Regulations play a prominent role in shaping business decisions and spark end user interest in UV/EB technology. An end user is not only subject to Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations but also toxics and greenhouse gas requirements. Find out regulatory trends that can give UV/EB technology an advantage. California usually leads the nation in setting emission standards. This presentation will highlight key California policies as well as upcoming national issues such as energy efficiency, which can be used as tools to make the case for conversion to UV/EB processes.

New Press Technologies for UV/EB
Tony Bean, National Energy Curing Technical Manager, Sun Chemical and Dr. Don Duncan, Director of Research, Wikoff Color Corp.
December 17, 2012
Webinar Description:
Join us for an unbiased, non-competitive review of new press advancements for UV/EB printing. Two renowned “inkies,” Tony Bean from SunChemical and Don Duncan from Wikoff Color, will join forces to review the latest advances from at least half a dozen of the world’s top press manufacturers. Each of the press manufacturers has supplied material which will be described in a non-partisan but fun way. You will learn about key advances to help you make good decisions for the future. Come and watch competitors discuss other peoples’ technology in a spirit of advancing the industry and spreading useful information. We’ll wait until the Q&A period for the sparks to fly!

Introduction to the Selection of UV and EB Curing Equipment
Stephen C. Lapin, Ph.D., Applications Specialist, BroadBeam PCT Engineered Systems, LLC
October 24, 2012
Webinar Description:
Ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing are complementary technologies. This webinar explores the fundamental differences between UV and EB technology. It also describes the different types of UV and EB energy sources along with the strengths and weaknesses of each type. This information should provide a good starting point for the selection of curing equipment best suited for a given end-use application.

Introduction to UV/EB Materials
Dr. Mike Idacavage, Director, Business Development, Esstech Inc.
September 27, 2012
Webinar Description:
The Energy Curable industry has grown tremendously since its beginnings in the early 1970s. The use of light or low energy electrons as the energy source for curing coatings is very attractive from a sustainability point of view. However, the main driving force for this technology has been the ability to lower process time and costs along with the ability to prepare coatings with unique properties. This webinar will present an introduction to UV and EB (Electron Beam) curing. In addition to the basic chemistry, an overview of various aspects of formulating for UV or EB coatings will be covered.
