Product Description

Borated Neutron Radiation Shielding UHMWPE sheet is a product typically used in the medical field to shield neutrons. Made from high density polyethylene plastic with 5% boron content by weight, this material provides exceptional durability over a wide temperature range. Borated polyethylene is available from Radiation Protection Products in standard-sized sheets (48" x 96" x 1"), as well as in blocks,slabs, and custom-size sheets.


Borated Neutron Radiation Shielding UHMWPE sheet is easy to work with, fabricate, and install, making it ideal for a wide range of shielding applications,

such as high intensity x-ray rooms, medical vaults and vault doors, nuclear energy or storage facilities, particle accelerators,hot cells, and more.


Popular Applications:
* Nuclear Reactors
* US Nuclear Warships
* Personnel and Cargo Detection Devices
* Medical Vaults
* Doors for Linear Accelerators
* Research Applications

* X-Ray Facilities


Borated Neutron Radiation Shielding UHMWPE sheet is often used to shield duct penetrations in radiation therapy vaults.  Typically 1 or 2 inches of 5% borated polyethylene is required in addition to some sheet lead. This borated polyethylene and lead shielding will be used inside the room most often. In some cases the shielding will be required inside and outside the room. Borated polyethylene is easily cut into the sizes necessary to work for the duct shielding.


Our borated polyethylene can be used to shield all penetrations in the shielded rooms. If there are further penetrations beyond ducts, borated polyethylene can be used to handle those shielding requirements as well. Some examples of this would be Pipe penetrations, sprinkler penetrations and electrical penetrations.
