RadTech - The Association for ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technology has been recognized for "Excellence in Advancement of Air Pollution Technology," at the 17th Annual Clean Air Awards by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in Los Angeles California. UV and EB technologies are used to cure or dry coatings, inks, adhesives and composites without the high levels of polluting emissions of traditional technologies. The technology is used in industries including automotive, printing and packaging, wood, electronics, plastics and aerospace. As a pollution prevention technology, the process minimizes waste, saves energy and is generally considered more productive and safer to use than other processes.
In addition to the SCAQMD award, RadTech also received recognition from the California State Assembly and City of Los Angeles for leadership in advancing UV and EB technology. "These awards further confirm, the environmentally proactive benefits of UV and EB technologies," says David Harbourne, President of RadTech and Fusion UV, an industry supplier. "We are honored by the recognition and thank SCAQMD, the City of Los Angeles and State of California for these awards."
