Tungsten-blend Fabric Shields for Radiation

As tungsten material special properties, now it is made with aramid fibre fabric as new kind of

radiation shielding material as its high-density for a better protection against X-ray and gamma-

ray radiation. Also it should be used as protective clothing.

This kinf of radiation-shielding is based on tungsten particles, high-strength para-aramid fibre.

It is said to include superior strength to polyester and other general-purpose fibres - despite

containing high concentrations of tungsten, a high-density metal that tends to impair the fibre's

mechanical properties. It also offers "excellent" flexibility as it is tungsten alloy material

based.

In addition, tungsten-blended fabric has better flame retardancy and cutting resistance than the

regular aramid fibre,  which means it is likely to be taken up in protective clothing for people

handling high-temperature objects and/or sharp-edged materials.

Tungsten Alloy Based Aramid Fiber Fabric Radiation Shielding

Here is a new aramid fiber fabric that protects users against X-ray and gamma ray radiation, which

will provide samples to selected customers for applications such as protective clothing and sheet

materials used in areas with high radiation levels.

The new fabric is produced by blending radiation-shielding tungsten particles with high strength

para-aramid fiber.

Here are some advantages:

Superior strength: the product is stronger than polyester despite containing a high concentration

of tungsten alloy, which can impair fiber’s mechanical properties.

A high level of radiation shielding from the amount of tungsten blended into the aramid fiber.

Excellent flexibility and workability properties not present in lead plates or concrete used for

tungsten alloy radiation shielding.

The tungsten-blended fabric also has a high level of flame resistance compared to regular aramid

fabric, making it useful in high-heat working conditions.

Producing a high-density metal filament yarn presents many technical difficulties. Chinatungsten

is able to leverage its fiber expertise and polymer and spinning technologies to overcome these

challenges.

Lead and lead-containing materials are typically used to shield against radiation, as lead is

comparatively inexpensive and offers excellent shielding. However, it poses significant

environmental concerns and movement is underway to regulate its use. Tungsten alloy is being

increasingly used as a more environmentally friendly alternative.

Advantage for Tungsten Alloy Collimator

 Chinatungsten Online could offer tungsten alloy collimator with the following advantages:

1. Tungsten alloy collimator is one of the most effective devices for reducing the radiation levels on a job site;
2. Tungsten alloy collimator also increases the quality of radiography shots by reducing the scattering radiation around  the film;
3. Tungsten alloy collimator can provide a safer operating conditions for radiographers;
4. Tungsten is a more effective shielding material than lead. It is an easy handle, non-licensed and very effective shielding material;
5. Tungsten alloy collimator does not spark, which makes it a ideal material for plant operations.
