Abstract
Apparatus and a method for treating polymeric material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, with radiation. The polytetrafluoroethylene is moved under an electron beam in an even and consistent depth on an adapted vibratory table. The vibratory table is sealably covered which allows a controlled environment. The polymeric material can be degraded to lower molecular weight forms or reacted with other materials.
