Tungsten Polymer Substitution to Depleted Uranium

Depleted uranium has a very high density and is primarily used as shielding material for other radioactive material as shielding in industrial radiography cameras. Depleted uranium is very dense; at 19,050 kg/m³, it is 1.67 times as dense as lead, but less dense than tungsten.

Due to its good performance of radiation shielding, tungsten has comparable radiation shielding ability as depleted uranium but is much healthier than depleted uranium. Many manufacturers, especially those in industry, are trying to replace depleted uranium radiation shielding products with tungsten polymer products. In additional, tungsten polymer has better flexibility and excellent workability than depleted uranium, tungsten polymer sheets can be cut or holed with household scissors and formed into shapes with various curved surfaces.. Tungsten polymer is low-toxicity, high-strength, high-density material can be substitution to depleted uranium for radiation shielding.
