Tungsten Polymer Radiation Absorption Ability

Tungsten polymer material is a special blend of shielding material moderates and attenuates both fast and intermediate neutrons while eliminates primary and secondary gammas. 80-95% reductions in exposure rates have been achieved in field applications.

Tungsten polymer radiation absorption ability:

  • Gamma rays – Very penetrating and are best stopped or shielded by dense materials, such as lead or uranium. Gamma rays are similar to x-rays.
  • HVL (Half Value Layer) – the amount of shielding material to achieve 50% reduction in dose rate
  • TVL (Tenth Value Layer) – the amount of shielding material to achieve 90% reduction in dose rate
  • Radioactive Source – the radioactive element (e.g. Co-60)
  • Attenuation – the reduction in dose rate. (Eg., HVL or TVL)
