Adhesive-Backed Lead-free Shielding - High Energy Gamma and Xray Radiation
Adhesive-lined Lead-free Rubber Radiation Shielding for High Energy Gamma and Xray Tube Sources
Flexible lead-free x-ray protective material with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive backing.
XRC440 series broad spectrum radiation shielding best applied for attenuation of high energy gamma ( > 100 keV) or xray radiation ( > 180 kVp ).
For low energy gamma or general purpose xray, such as x-ray cabinets, medical and general NDT radiation shielding, see our adhesive lined XRC449 series product.
Typical panel sizes for adhesive backed shielding:
- Width of flexible sheets are typically 600mm or 24" width for easy shipping, handling and application.
- Lead equivalent thicknesses as low as 0.125mm Pb up to 6mm Pb or higher.
- Common Shielding equivalents of 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" to match typical specifications by radiation physicists.
- Optionally available with backing to stainless steel, aluminum or FR Plastic.
Adhesive Properties
- Special acrylic adhesive with excellent chemical resistance and bond strength even at elevated temperatures.
- Long Term Temperature Resistance -40 °C to 120 °C
- Bonds well to a wide variety of plastics, powder coatings and metals.
