Tungsten Plastic Replaces Lead in Molded Products

Are you looking for a lead replacement? The European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances is close to a death knell for lead in electronics.

There is a technique of tungsten plastic to develop tungsten-filled plastics that can replace lead for radiation protection. This technique has converted more than 50 lead-shielding parts with a proprietary non-lead, polymer shielding material. Tungsten plastic technique is more and more popular for radiation protection now. Lead may be the asbestos of the 21st Century, but tungsten material superior in its high specific density. Medical device manufacturers in the United States also expect to face stiff regulations on use of lead. Tungsten in a nylon 6 base offers equivalent X-ray shielding and can be molded on standard equipment. However, as a new type technique applied on tungsten plastic, the manufacture cost will be expensive but it has an effective function to absorb radiation than lead.
