An inflammable PE sponge that does not release any toxic gas when in contact with fire has been developed by Sanwa Kako Co.Ltd. The inner side of the polyethylene is chemically coated with a flame retardant using electron beam technology. The material is claimed to be suitable for use in car seats, furniture and cushions. Commercial production of the material is planned for late 1993. This abstract includes all the information contained in the original article. 

According to a review by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 1997, electron beam technology is not feasible for the destruction of organic solids in any form, with the possible exception of biological materials. Solid waste sludges, soil, and debris are impractical... 

In collaboration with Haley Aldrich, Inc., HVEA tested the high-energy electron beam technology s ability to treat methyl tertbutyl ether (MTBE). The technology, known as electron beam (or E-beam) for this application, has treated MTBE in waste streams to concentrations below U.S. ERA maximum coutaminant levels. This level of treatmeut cau be attained at a cost of 1.00 to 1.25 per 1000 gal of water treated (D22179E, p. 1). 

Possibility of building very small systems for low flow rates with modular electron beam technology. 

In summary, UV and electron beam technology improves productivity, speeds up production, lowers cost, and makes new and often better products. At the same time, it uses less energy, drastically reduces polluting emissions, and eliminates flammable and polluting solvenfs. 

The arhcle of Berejka covers the state of the art in electron beam technology, material technology, and product-forming technology as applied to structural carbon-fiber-reinforced polymeric composites.

Recent industrial achievements and projects showed the EB method to be both economically rewarding and effective in protecting the environment, and as such was granted credit by the IAEA [14]. Finally the Electron Beam technology should be regarded both as a trustworthy and an innovative process to fulfil a sustainable chemistry.
