Description
Anti-radiation Borated Polyethylene Sheets – Effective Neutron Shielding Material
Borated HDPE is a high-performance composite made from boron carbide and polyethylene, designed to protect against harmful neutron radiation effectively. It absorbs neutrons without forming radioactive isotopes, making it an ideal material for nuclear power stations, medical facilities, and industrial shielding applications. Compared to traditional metal and concrete, Borated HDPE offers low density, excellent attenuation, ease of use, cost efficiency, and superior processing performance.
