UHMWPE Radiation Products Borate Boron Impregnated Polyethylene Sheet
Custom UHMWPE Radiation Products Borate Boron Impregnated Polyethylene Sheet
Borated polyethylene 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.
Properties of Boroned Polyethylene Board :
- The maximum parameters of the product are 3100x2100 mm.
- The maximum thickness is 160 mm.
- The proportion of boron by weight - is 1% - 30%.
- Preservation of stability in size over a wide temperature range.
- Easy processing and shaping of borated polyethylene.
- Significant cost difference compared to lead.
Product Specification:
Instead of a portable shield, the plate is used as a gasket and electrical insulation in various hollow structures or devices whose housing is protected by a casing (the plate is placed between the housing and the casing or is tightly lined on the outside of the object).

Why Choose Boron-polyethylene board :
First of all, borated polyethylene is used in the nuclear power industry — to protect employees from radiation caused by:
- fast and thermal neutrons;
- alpha and gamma radiation (primary and secondary).
Speaking generally, almost all structural divisions of nuclear power need borated polyethylene sheets:
- nuclear power plants;
- nuclear - powered ships, etc.
BPE sheets with the right distance from the source of ionizing radiation, dimensions, boron concentration and some other indicators can both delay background radiation and active radiation by 100%, and reduce their intensity to health-safe values.
The second area of application of borated polyethylene is medical institutions — where there is a risk of radiation exposure: X-ray rooms, treatment rooms using fast neurons, rooms for fluorography, radiation therapy for cancer, etc.
The third area of demand is the creation of a safe environment in laboratories using radioactive installations and/or components.
Finally, borated polyethylene boards are purchased by ordinary citizens for household purposes if their homes are located near radio-emitting objects or the radio background is increased due to poor-quality building materials of walls, ceiling, etc.
