With more than 520 in attendance, uv.eb WEST registration grew to over 25% as interest in the environmental, economic and operational benefits of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing technology continues to grow. The event, held March 6-7 in Los Angeles, CA, featured UV and EB processes that offer manufactures a competitive edge, while meeting pollution regulation requirements.
