Boron Polyethylene Sheet Description
Boron Polyethylene Sheet is a new type of shielding material against neutron radiation, which has been widely used in nuclear power, medicine, national defense, and other industries. In the Boron Polyethylene Sheet, boron can play a good absorption role. The reaction cross section of boron to neutrons is relatively large, and neutrons can be completely absorbed by boron before the hydrogen reaction occurs, thus playing a complete shielding role.
Boron Polyethylene Sheet can effectively prevent the harm of nuclear radiation and neutron radiation to individuals and society. It also has extremely high wear resistance and excellent chemical corrosion resistance.

Boron Polyethylene Sheet Application
Radiation Protection: Boron polyethylene sheets are used extensively in nuclear facilities, medical facilities, and industrial settings for neutron radiation shielding. Boron's high neutron absorption cross-section combined with polyethylene's ability to moderate and scatter neutrons makes these sheets effective barriers against radiation.
2. Radiation Protection: In medical imaging facilities such as X-ray rooms and CT scan areas, boron polyethylene sheets are employed to shield personnel and patients from scattered radiation. They help reduce exposure to secondary neutrons and gamma rays generated during imaging procedures.
3. Radiation Shielding: Boron polyethylene sheets are used in the construction of shields and barriers in nuclear medicine facilities where radioactive materials are handled. They protect medical personnel and the public from neutron and gamma radiation emitted by radioactive isotopes.
4. Safety Barriers: Used as safety barriers and shielding in industrial radiography applications where radioactive sources are used for non-destructive testing. Boron polyethylene sheets ensure worker safety by absorbing and attenuating radiation effectively.
5. Neutron Absorption: Boron polyethylene sheets are utilized in research reactors and neutron sources to control and manage neutron flux. They assist in maintaining safe experimental conditions and protecting researchers from neutron radiation.
6. Criticality Control: Applied in storage containers and facilities for radioactive waste to prevent criticality accidents. Boron polyethylene sheets help manage neutron emissions from stored radioactive materials, ensuring safe long-term storage.
7. Criticality Prevention: Boron polyethylene sheets are used in containers and packaging for transporting radioactive materials. They contribute to maintaining subcritical conditions during transport, reducing the risk of accidental nuclear chain reactions.
8. Radiation Shielding: Utilized in military and defense applications for shielding against nuclear radiation and enhancing the protection of personnel and equipment in radiologically hazardous environments.
9. Safety Enhancements: Boron polyethylene sheets are employed in educational institutions and training facilities for nuclear science and radiological safety training. They provide practical demonstrations of radiation shielding principles.
