RADIATION CROSSLINKING OF PLASTICS
Gamma-ray crosslinking of plastics is a process in which plastic molecules are joined into a three-dimensional network under the influence of high-energy gamma radiation. This leads to a change in the properties of plastics such as strength, dimensional stability, resistance to heat, chemicals, etc…
INCREASE IN STRENGTH AND STIFFNESS
Gamma crosslinking can significantly increase the strength and stiffness of plastics.
This is useful for applications where the material is subjected to mechanical stress, such as automotive parts, sports equipment and packaging materials.
IMPROVED DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Cross-linked plastics excel in their dimensional stability even in challenging conditions.
They are resistant to deformation caused by heat and moisture, which is crucial for applications requiring high precision, such as electronic components or medical implants.
INCREASED RESISTANCE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS
Cross-linked plastics stand out due to their resistance to high temperatures compared to non- cross-linked plastics.
This property makes them the ideal material for applications where components are exposed to extreme heat. For example, they can be found in:
- Motors: they ensure reliable operation even at high temperatures.
- Appliances: They contribute to safety and long service life.
- Aerospace: They guarantee resistance to extreme conditions.
INCREASED RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS
Cross-linked plastics are more resistant to chemicals such as solvents, acids and alkalis.
This is useful for applications where the material is exposed to aggressive environments such as pipelines, tanks and storage vessels.
Fast and efficient process
Gamma-ray crosslinking is a relatively fast and efficient process that can be performed on large volumes of material.
High precision
The radiation dose can be precisely controlled to achieve the desired polymer properties.
Environmentally friendly
Gamma ray crosslinking is a non-toxic process that produces no hazardous waste products.
