Overview Borated Polyethylene is a product specially designed for neutron radiation shielding with 1% to 30% boron by weight and high hydrogen content.
;It is made to meet all applicable applications for healthcare cancer treatment centers, diagnostic and hospital facilities. Applications include linear accelerators, nuclear or radiation shielding, industrial use, security such as seaports and airport security, nuclear submarines, nuclear power plants, border protection and other applications requiring attenuation of thermal neutrons.
Replaces lead in nuclear shielding applications
Easy to handle and fabricate to a variety of shapes and parts
Superior dimensional stability over a wide temperature range
High hydrogen content and added boron
Lighter weight and lower cost than lead
