The tungsten alloy reliably shields against X-rays and gamma radiation. With its new production process and great expertise in 

 

the materials field, PLANSEE has made the manufacture of shielding components particularly cost-effective.

 

Whether in the world of medical or industrial X-ray technology, radiotherapy or nuclear power stations: Wherever high-energy 

radiation is used, it is vital to protect people against it.The denser the material, the better able it is to protect from 

radiation. That is why heavy elements absorb X-rays and gamma radiation particularly well. Lead is still the most frequently 

used shielding material. Because it is a very soft material, it is mostly used only in combination with support structures made 

of steel.

 

Lead is a toxic material that is harmful to the environment and humans. The onerous recycling process makes lead expensive 

despite the low initial procurement costs. Many enterprises are therefore looking for a suitable alternative for providing reliable radiation protection.
