5%-30% Borated Polyethylene Sheet is a product specially designed for nuclear shielding applications. The material employs 5% Boron by weight to shield neutrons in a variety of applications including high intensity X-rays, cancer treatment facilities, hospitals, nuclear submarines and nuclear power plants.
We have been the manufacturer of Neutron shielding manufacturer for over 20+ years .
SGS certificate and China Chemical Research Institute test report can be supplied for you . Cutting and machining of the borated UHMWPE sheets to your speficication requests . Max thickness can be 350 mm , and with rich experience of the connection design , we can guarantee to avoid any leakage of the neutron .
See below our real cases for kinds of project -- Borated polyethylene
For example, the technical index of polyethylene plate thickness 150mm + 10% boron carbide is: (10% by weight)
