Tungsten Polymer / Nylon

Tungsten Polymer / Nylon

Tungsten Polymer is a blend of various resins and Tungsten powder, amalgamated through specialized metallurgical techniques. It serves as an excellent alternative to lead for radiation shielding.

Tungsten Nylon is another alternative to lead for radiation protection. Made from a blend of tungsten and nylon fibers, it provides exceptional shielding against radiation exposure. For customized Tungsten Nylon solutions, reach out to our team for further details.

Properties of Tungsten Polymer:

  • High Density: ≥ 11.34 g/cm³
  • Superb Radiation Shielding: Tungsten offers radiation shielding comparable to lead but with fewer health concerns. Numerous manufacturers, particularly in the medical sector, are exploring the replacement of lead shielding products with Tungsten Polymer.
  • Flexibility and Workability: Tungsten Polymer sheets can be easily cut or shaped with household scissors and can be formed into shapes with various curved surfaces.
  • Health and Eco-friendliness: Made from non-toxic, recyclable materials, Tungsten Polymer poses no environmental harm.

Applications of Tungsten Polymer:

  • Industrial and medical X-ray inspection devices
  • Radiation shielding equipment
  • Consumer products for vibration suppression, weight addition, acoustic isolation, etc.
  • Gamma-ray shielding material and lead fiber mat substitute in nuclear reactor piping systems
  • Medical radiation collimators

Granules, tubes, sheets, and X-ray protective aprons are available upon request.

Benefits of Tungsten Polymer

Commonly employed in protective roles across various fields such as medicine, nuclear energy, aerospace, X-ray shielding, and sports, this material maintains form during use and finds application in X-ray equipment, CT scanning devices, tungsten polymer syringes, tungsten polymer collimators, and beyond.

Tungsten Polymer, made from various resins and tungsten powder through specialized metallurgy, possesses unique properties such as easy machinability, high radiation resistance, and environmental friendliness. Unlike lead, traditionally used for radiation shielding, Tungsten Polymer offers equivalent shielding properties with added durability and environmental benefits.

Tungsten Polymer meets industry and health standards by providing lead-free, nontoxic engineered thermoplastics for X-ray and gamma-ray shielding applications. It ensures compliance with US, EPA, OSHA, and RoHS standards while maintaining product integrity and functionality.

Optimization of shielding is achieved by customizing material density and wall thickness based on application requirements, ensuring cost-effectiveness. T&D’s lead-free radiation shielding materials, utilizing tungsten powder in a polymeric matrix, provide injection-moldable thermoplastic solutions to meet regulatory needs and radiation shielding demands.
