Activities

The fields of application of Industrial Irradiation are numerous, but not well known. For example, we can mention:

  • The main used of Electron Beam is for plastic modifications (crosslink, polymerization, degradation, etc.) of tubing, cables, profiles, tires,...
  • Sterilization of medical products is another major domain for that kind of treatment
  • Surface treatment including radiation curing, surface decontamination, ink drying, grafting,... are as well an high potential for this technology
  • Food treatment is still an emerging application
  • And other applications, such as pollution control (water, VOC and gas treatment), coloration of glass and gem stones, electronic components hardening,...
Services

NACRE can offer services in two main branches.

  • Direct consulting with Electron Beam Manufacturers

If you need expertise during a facility engineering project (project management, product transport system, radiation protection, safety system, dosimetry,...) as well as during installation, validation of your process, marketing,... NACRE can help you.

AEB, IBA Industrial, Linac, Nordion, PCT, RDI are few examples of NACRE customers.

  • Consulting with End-Users

If you plan to install a new facility or modify your current one, we can provide you with up-to-date advice and guidance in business development, feasibility study, selection of equipment, facility layout, calculation of your shielding, comprehensive safety analysis for your local authorities, validation of your products/process, but also support during installation, implementation of your process, training of your team and maintenance. NACRE skills and independence will be very useful.

Acome, BGS, CoRI, Ercis, Raychem, Steris/Isomedix, Sterigenics, Terumo are examples of companies, in various domains, having used NACRE's services.

Relationships

NACRE has also established strong relationships with other industrial radiation companies in the areas of polymer formulation, testing or other example, in order to solve your dosimetry and dose homogeneity.

As well as expert NACRE fellows are well known and as such introduced with International Authorities and of various countries, AIEA, THE PANEL and AFNOR, ASN and BNEN (in France), l'AFCN (in Belgium), FDA, ASTM (in USA)...

So don't hesitate to contact us.
