RadTech, an association dedicated to UV and EB technologies based in the US, has announced to set up a new committee devoted to fast emerging UV LED technology.
 
The group’s first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 28, 2013, in Redondo Beach, CA, and will be co-located with the industry trade event, uv.eb WEST.
 
Beth Rundlett of DSM and committee co-chair, said that ,“UV LED technology has the potential to play an essential role in radiation curing industrial applications, RadTech’s technical efforts will further promote UV LED development and it's full integration into everyday industrial processes.”
 
Recognizing the growth of UV-LED curing, its use in new applications, and the need for credible information on its benefits and limitations, RadTech has established a committee to address the needs of its membership in this area. “One of the committee’s first actions will be to survey the membership in order to identify those needs,” said JoAnn Arceneaux of Cytec and committee co-chair.
