EB systems are very safe, and very similar to the EB machines you keep in
your home… the ones you call television sets!

In addition, there is absolutely no residual effect upon EB-processed materials. When materials exit the system, they are fully cured and radiation-free.
and to standards far stricter
than OSHA allows for radiation exposure!
OSHA regulations provide that radiation exposure in Unrestricted Areas is not to exceed 5 millirems (mrem) in any one hour or 100 mrem in any five days. EB systems don't even come close to delivering that dosage of radiation.

All ESI EB systems are thoroughly lead lined in critical areas. In addition, power to the High Voltage Power Supply is controlled by redundant mechanical interlocks. If a door is left open, two signals independently remove power - no accidental dosing is possible.
With ESI EB systems, you also don't have to worry about emissions, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or elevated heat levels in production areas.
ESI'S EB systems are
safer
than any other energy curing solution!
