Description

Borated HDPE composed of boron carbide and polyethylene material. It can effectively prevent the harm caused by nuclear radiation to the family and society. It can absorb a lot of neutrons and not form any radioactive isotopes, so it’s an ideal neutron absorber in nuclear power stations has the characteristics of low density, good attenuation curve, convenient use, low cost and good processing performance compared with traditional metal and concrete.

Borated HDPE is a great solution for a wide variety of shielding applications.

Commonly used for medical, nuclear and industrial neutron shielding, borated polyethylene is ideal for medical vaults and doors for linear particle accelerators, as well as other radiation and research applications, including nuclear reactors and construction of nuclear-powered vessels.

Key Features of Borated Polyethylene:

● Available with 1%, 2% and 5% boron content (by weight) or virgin formulas.

● Made from the finest polymers available.

● High cross-section for consistent neutron attenuation.

● Durable over a wide temperature range.

● Custom sheets, blocks and slabs also available.

● Available finishing options, including custom cutting into any shape or part.

Benefits of Borated Polyethylene:

● Reduce exposure to harmful neutron radiation

● Light-weight; easy to handle and install

● Easily fabricated using standard woodworking tools

● Cost-effective

Size of Borated HDPE:

Can be customized according to customer requirements.
