Potential applications of SLEA:
- Curing of materials such as laminates, printing inks, paints, and coatings as well as transparent films.
- Sterilization of food packaging materials.
- Curing of wooden materials.
- Manufacturing of heat shrink film.
- EB curable silicone coatings products for a wide variety of paper and film applications.
- Surface Irradiation of fruits, vegetables, cut-flowers, seeds etc
