Industry Applications of Tungsten Polymer

tungsten polymer is composed of tungsten powder and one of a number of standard plastic base resins, which are selected according to the application. These base resin systems include polysulfones (PSU), co-polyamides, polyamides (PA), polymethylpentenes (PMP), polyurethanes (TPU), acryloynitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylenes (PE) and polyetheretherketones (PEEK). It has a high molecular polymer composited material having a density up to 11 g/cc (equivalent to lead). It is composed of the following components by weight ratio: a high molecular polymer 20-100, tungsten powder 950-1000, tungsten fiber 0-50, a coupling agent 0.5-5 and other aids 0.5-10.

Tungsten polymer has been found many applications in industries, including:

• X-ray devices in manufacturing industries and medical x-ray machines;
• Nuclear and medical industries, it is used as radiation shielding;
• Radiation shielding and radiation-protective equipment;
• Gamma ray shielding material and substitute for lead fiber mat in nuclear reactor piping systems;
• It is also used in weight and balance applications as a counterweight for applications like motors, ballasts and more;
• Used as a sound proofing material in aviation headphones;
• Acts as a damper to reduce shock due to vibration in the automotive industry.
