Did you know that irradiation cross-linking can provide performance benefits to products that utilize a variety of thermoplastic materials? Some of the most commonly used materials that can benefit from irradiation cross-linking include: + Polyethylene – LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE & UHMWPE + Polypropylene + Polyamides – PA6, PA66, PA11, PA12 + PVC + EVA + Thermoplastic Elastomers For some materials, a cross-linking additive is required in order to initiate the cross-linking process, but it’s a fairly simple process to incorporate it into the base material. Whether your parts are extruded, molded or machined from these types of materials, we can process them through one of our two electron beam accelerators in order to enhance overall performance. If you currently manufacture products that utilize any of these materials, contact us at https://lnkd.in/ggXGAgbS and we can help you evaluate the potential benefits of cross-linking your products. #manufacturing #advancedmaterials #crosslinking #electronbeam #electronbeamaccelerator #innovation #advancedtechnology #products #materials #productperformance

At Mercury, we're eager to expand our services with the addition of a second Electron Beam. Let us know if you have any bioburden reduction needs that we can evaluate for value-added processing through our specialized irradiation equipment.

Gaskets and seals offer significant advantages in applications where maintaining a secure, long-lasting seal is critical. At Mercury Plastics, we can crosslink gaskets and seals with our 5 MeV beam and our brand-new 10 MeV beam. Crosslinking these products allows for improved durability, maintained flexibility and enhanced compression set resistance in a variety of industries and applications. For example, in household appliances like laundry machines, high-performance seals are essential to prevent leaks and ensure efficient operation. Another key market for seal applications is the automotive industry, where a variety of seals are used to prevent leaks and absorb sound. Key benefits of crosslinking these materials include: + Enhanced Compression Set Resistance: Crosslinking improves the material’s ability to return to its original shape after being compressed, ensuring a longer lifespan. + Maintained Flexibility: Even after repeated use, crosslinked gaskets remain flexible without compromising the integrity of the seal. + Improved Durability: Crosslinked materials withstand extreme conditions, offering better resistance to wear, tear and environmental factors. Learn how we transform gaskets and seals to work harder and perform better when you visit https://lnkd.in/ggXGAgbS today to see how we can help with your application. #manufacturing #advancedmaterials #crosslinking #electronbeam #electronbeamaccelerator #innovation #advancedtechnology #products #materials #productperformance

Have you ever considered using an electron beam accelerator to reduce the level of bioburden associated with your products? Our electron beam accelerators are capable of treating products with a stream of high energy electrons in order to inactivate and potentially kill microbes. Electron beams disrupt the DNA of microorganisms preventing them from reproducing and effectively negating their population. There are a variety of products including labware, waste materials, powders, spices and food items that benefit from exposure to an electron beam. The dose can be controlled in order to accomplish the required level of bioburden reduction. The process of employing electron beam accelerators for this type of application is very efficient, effective and requires no dangerous chemicals.
