(E-Beam) coating technology to its line
of film, printing and converting capabilities. With E-Beam technology, the
company can design surface-printed
coated films to replace laminations
at a substantially reduced cost. The
technology drives down costs by reducing material expenses and eliminating
work-in-process inventory. E-Beam also
improves product quality by eliminating
odor, extractables and volatile organic
compounds and increasing gloss while
providing high resistance to scratch, scuff
and stains. E-Beam applies high voltage
to tungsten filaments, which generates
electrons that penetrate the target film.
The electrons create desired molecular
changes in specially designed ultra-glossy
and tough coatings. Phone (847) 9693308; Web www.pliantcorp.com
