This is a special process utilising a powerful electron beam accelerator (accelerated electrons in a vacuum) and creates structural changes in the material to improve properties and performance. In particular irradiation cross-linked heat shrink improves tensile and impact strength, solvent, chemical and abrasion resistance, and improves stability, memory and durability of the material.
