Properties of Tungsten Vinyl

• Density: Tungsten has a very high density, which is advantageous for radiation shielding because it allows for the effective absorption of radiation. Incorporating tungsten particles, powders, or other forms into a vinyl matrix, creates a material with enhanced shielding capabilities.
• Flexibility: Vinyl is known for its flexibility and malleability, making it suitable for shaping into various forms, such as sheets, curtains, or garments. Tungsten vinyl composites can be engineered to maintain this flexibility while still providing shielding properties.
• Thickness: The thickness of the shielding material is crucial for attenuating different types of radiation. Tungsten vinyl composites can be manufactured in varying thicknesses to meet the specific shielding requirements of different applications. Thicker shielding may be necessary for higher-energy radiation sources or greater protection.
• Durability: Radiation shielding materials need to withstand long-term exposure to radiation without degradation. The vinyl component contributes to the durability and longevity of the composite material, providing resistance to wear, tear, and environmental factors.
• Customization: Tungsten vinyl composites can be customized to meet specific shielding requirements for different radiation sources and environments. This includes considerations such as the type and energy of radiation, the size and shape of the shielding barrier, and any additional features needed for installation or integration with existing structures.
