UV (ultraviolet) and EB (electron beam A stream of electrons, or electricity, that is directed towards a receiving object. See electron beam imaging and electron beam lithography. ), high value, rapid throughput processes used to cure coatings, inks, adhesives, and composites, offer the virtual elimination of emissions and lower energy consumption as compared with traditional methods. Leading industry suppliers and users will demonstrate the environmental, economic, and performance benefits of UV and EB, as well as how technology enables manufacturers to meet and exceed regulatory requirements Regulatory requirements are part of the process of drug discovery and drug development. Regulatory requirements describe what is necessary for a new drug to be approved for marketing in any particular country. . The event will include a tabletop exhibit and conference program covering the basics of UV/EB technology. Application workshops on aerospace and defense, UV inkjet, wood finishing/building materials, composites, adhesives, electronics, commercial printing/converting, and plastics finishing will be presented. For those interested in the chemistry and science of the technology, a "Basic UV/EB Formulations Chemistry" undergraduate short course will also be offered. A preliminary schedule of the education sessions and workshops to be presented is as follows: February 10--Education Sessions Session One: Intro to UV/EB Technology "Overview of UV Curing: Technology & Marketplace"--David Harbourne, Fusion UV "UV Curing Equipment"--Ed McGhee, Nordson Corp. "Process Control & UV Measurement"--David Snyder, EIT EIT erythrocyte iron turnover.
