Abstract: To provide an active energy ray-curable ink composition that contains high rates of raw materials derived from biomass and can maintain basic characteristics, such as compatibility. Provided is an active energy ray-curable ink composition containing a pigment, a compound having ethylenically unsaturated bonds, and a rosin-modified alkyd resin, wherein the rosin-modified alkyd resin is a condensed polymer of an acid ingredient containing a resin acid, a fatty acid, and a polybasic acid with a polyhydric alcohol, and has a solubility parameter (sp) value of 9.0 to 11.0 (cal/cm3)1/2 as measured by turbidimetric titration and an acid value of 1 to 50 mg KOH/g.

Abstract: An electron beam emitted from an electron gun enters into an accelerator 8 through a magnetic lens and is accelerated by a large number of accelerating tube discs within the accelerator, resonance cavities formed thereby and a magnetic field supplied from the outside. Then, it is focused by a focusing magnet and enters into an energy analyzer and scanned by a beam scanner, and is irradiated as a beam onto a sterilization goods item. On the outside of the accelerator there is disposed a cooling jacket for making uniform the thermal expansions of the resonance cavities due to thermal load.
