Boron-containing UHMWPE neutron shielding boards radiation protection polyethylene sheet
5% Borated Polyethylene is manufactured to meet all applicable applications for industrial use, shielding applications,
medical applications (with regards to cancer treatment), vaults, and doors for linear particle accelerators.
Borated Polyethylene is effective shielding for support in all areas of security, i.e.,
seaports, airports, border protection and other applications requiring attenuation of thermal neutrons.
The important factor is the Hydrogen Level in the PE. Our 2" & 3" thick have higher levels than the 1".
5%Boron by weight to shield neutrons , are boron loaded PE UHMWPE grades . The high hydrogen content of PE UHMWP makes it
very suitable for slowing down fast neutrons to lower energy thermal slow neutrons , which are then absorbed by the
added boron compound . Where as UHMWPE are suitable for neutron sheielding , it is often preferred because of its better deformation
behaviour at high temperatures and its superior impact strength and wear resistance .
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 .
