Radiation Shielding boron loaded UHMWPE Sheets

XINXING  Radiation Shielding  boron loaded uhmwpe sheets was specially designed for nuclear shielding applications and is used in a variety of applications including high intensity X-rays, cancer treatment facilities, nuclear submarines, and nuclear power plants.

5% Boron by weight to shield neutrons, are boron loaded PE-(U)HMW grades. The high hydrogen content of PE-(U)HMW makes it very suitable for slowing down fast neutrons to lower energy thermal (slow) neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound. Whereas both PE-HMW and PE-UHMW are suitable for neutron shielding, PE-UHMW is often preferred because of its better deformation behaviour at high temperatures and its superior impact strength and wear resistance.

• Effectively attenuates neutron radiation particles and minimizes the gamma radiation released during their capture
• Very good wear and abrasion resistance
• High impact strength (particularly PE-UHMW)
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low coefficient of friction
• Very low water absorption
• Moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance
• Excellent machinability
