30% Borated UHMW Polyethylene Sheet

Product Description

ABOSN Radiation Shielding 30% Borated UHMW Polyethylene Sheet 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.


30% Borated UHMW Polyethylene Sheet 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.
