Polymer Tungsten Radiation Shielding

Polymer tungsten radiation shielding is a radiation shielding product made of polymer tungsten - a combination of tungsten particles and resin. It may be a piece of medical polymer tungsten protective clothing, or a protective skirt, etc. And it may be a shielding product used in medical devices.

According to the researchers, polymer tungsten has better shielding performance than lead. Also. it is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, durable, and easy to process (can be cut with scissors). So, polymer tungsten radiation shielding is considered to be the best alternative to lead radiation shielding. And therefore, more and more shield products now choose polymer tungsten as a raw material.

Lead was the main material for the early production of shielding products due to its high shielding properties. While lead is a toxic material, it is not conducive to environmental protection. So, lead is gradually replaced by tungsten alloy - an environmental friendly and non-toxic radiation shielding material. As tungsten alloy is not suitable for some shields that require flexibility such as protective clothing, soft polymer tungsten is developed to resolve this problem.
