Tungsten is an excellent radiation material, but it’s too fragile to be curved into desired shapes. However when you put tungsten powder with polymer to make a polymer tungsten composition, you get a flexible radiation resistant material. Polymer tungsten (also known as Tungsten-filled polymer and Polytungsten) is a composition of various resins and Tungsten powder which are mixed together through special metallurgical technology. Compared with other materials, tungsten poly has its own properties; it can be easily machined, has high radiation resistance, and is environmentally friendly.
Tungsten polymer shield combines the high density of tungsten, high radiation absorption capacity of tungsten and the properties of simple processing, high tensile strength and plasticity of the resin. It is the best raw materials for the shields and can replace lead. It can be used in medical imaging equipment, radiotherapy system, nuclear medicine, security check system, industrial CT inspection equipment, nuclear industry and other equipment. Because tungsten polymer material not only has high radiation shielding, but also has good ductility and flexibility, it can be widely used in human protection.
