Whitepaper Radiation Crosslinking
Plastics must comply with the highest requirements and be versatile and efficient. Radiation crosslinking makes it possible to optimize plastics so that they can withstand even extreme loads and thus open up new application possibilities.
From plastic to high-performance material
Plastics are characterized by their low weight, good performance properties and versatile shaping, which gives them enormous potential, particularly in lightweight construction. However, their performance can be increased even further: radiation crosslinking, a targeted modification using beta or gamma rays, takes plastics to a new level. Radiation crosslinking makes it possible to upgrade inexpensive standard or technical plastics so that their mechanical, thermal and chemical properties approach those of high-performance plastics.
Our white paper explains in detail how the technology works, what effects can be achieved through irradiation and in which fields of application it is already being used. You will also gain insights into the logistics processes and learn about the potential that radiation crosslinking holds for the mobility of the future.
