Lead Boron Polyethylene (Pb-B-PE) sheet is a high-performance composite material engineered for complex radiation environments where both neutron and gamma radiation are present. By combining the neutron-moderating properties of polyethylene, the neutron-absorbing properties of boron, and the gamma-shielding properties of lead, this material provides a comprehensive protection solution.
Advanced Radiation Shielding with Pb-B-PE Sheet
The synergy between Lead and Boron within the polyethylene matrix makes Pb-B-PE sheets uniquely effective. Lead is highly efficient at attenuating gamma rays, while Boron captures thermal neutrons. This multi-layered shielding effect is critical for reactor shielding plastic and medical radiotherapy applications.
Nuclear Grade Borated Polyethylene Composition
- Polyethylene Matrix: High hydrogen density for effective neutron moderation.
- Boron Additive (B4C): High cross-section for thermal neutron capture.
- Lead Inclusion: High atomic number for superior gamma radiation attenuation.
