Epoxy based with various
fillers to yield the
desired physical and
radiation shielding
properties. |
| |
|
|
|
Relation between heat
resistance & hydrogen
number density is well
balanced . Even when kept
in elevated temperatures ,
the neutron shielding
performance of the
material does not degrade
as the hydrogen number
density has a very little
rate of reduction
|
| |
|
|
> |
High heat resistance (see
video) |
| |
|
|
> |
Good dimensional stability |
| |
|
|
|
Shield composition designed to
specific application meeting
various requirements of
radiation shielding , densities
, etc. at lower costs |
| |
|
|
|
Effective for shielding
against fission & high
energy neutrons as well as
against the combined
radiations of neutrons &
photons (gamma) |
| |
|
|
|
Belting fabric can be
provided as a backing
material if desired |

Free of defects like blow
holes / cavities , etc. |
