  • Publication number: 20050191439
    Abstract: A coating material of an electron beam curable type is printed or coated onto a substrate of a heat shrinkable plastic film. Then, the coating material is cured by electron beam irradiation to form a coating layer. As a consequence, a shrinkable film including the substrate and the coating layer disposed thereon is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6930315
    Abstract: A target object to be irradiated is transported into an irradiating chamber through a transport inlet for irradiation with an active energy beam under an inert gas atmosphere in an active energy beam irradiating section included in the irradiating chamber and, then is transported out of the irradiating chamber. When the object is subject to above steps, the gas flow resistance at the transport outlet is controlled such that the active energy beam irradiation is carried out under the condition of X/Y?1, where X represents the gas amount passing through the transport inlet, and Y represents the gas amount passing through the transport outlet.
