Polyethylene radiation shielding sheets are used for neutron shielding applications and are installed where flame retardancy is required, with flame retardancy being the main consideration.
Radiation shielding sheet is a product specially designed for neutron radiation shielding with a boron content of 5% to 30% and a high hydrogen content. All applicable applications in medical cancer treatment centers, diagnostics and hospital facilities. Applications include linear accelerators, nuclear or radiation shielding, and industrial uses such as seaport and airport security. In these applications, it is highly desirable to maximize the hydrogen content and minimize any impurities—especially those that might absorb neutrons.
In addition to its anti-radiation effect, polyethylene radiation shielding sheet also has all the characteristics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE): strong wear resistance, the higher the molecular weight, the higher the wear resistance. The material has impact resistance, and the impact resistance is not easy to be damaged at low temperature. It is self-lubricating and has a low coefficient of friction. The water absorption rate is extremely low, and its physical and mechanical properties are independent of the humidity factor under working conditions.
