Borotron® HD050- 5% Borated Polyethylene
Borotron® HD050 - 5% Borated High Density Polyethylene
Borotron from Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) formulation with 5% elemental boron that provides enhanced neutron shielding. Borated HDPE (the combination of boron within a matrix of HDPE, a naturally hydrogen-rich material) is an ideal product for medical and industrial neutron shielding applications. Borotron is a light-weight, cost-effective, and easily fabricated solution for a wide variety of neutron shielding needs.
Borotron® has been used as a medical and industrial shielding material to attenuate and absorb neutron radiation. This easily fabricated polymer material also offers designers greater durability and function over a wider range of temperatures than traditional materials. Borotron, in sheet form, is used for shielding in radiation therapy rooms, nuclear research facilities, nuclear power plants, nuclear powered ships, and in spacecraft exposed to radiation.
Borotron is available in 48" x 96" x 1" (122 x 245 x 2.5cm) sheet from stock, with other custom sizes and boron concentrations available upon request. Borotron is made in the U.S.A. with virgin high density polyethylene using state-of-the-art processes that result in precise tolerances with consistent boron dispersion and material density. Borotron can be manufactured to MIL-P-23536A and to Shipyard standards.
