Henan Jinhang launches high-quality boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene board to lead the application of new nuclear radiation shielding materials

In today's era of rapid technological development, various advanced materials continue to emerge, bringing innovation and breakthroughs to many industries. Recently, Henan Jinhang has successfully launched high-quality boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets with its strong research and development capabilities and exquisite production processes. The emergence of this new type of anti neutron nuclear radiation shielding material has quickly attracted widespread attention in the industry.

Boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene board is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as the substrate, and is carefully processed by adding borides through special techniques. This unique composite material cleverly combines the wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, self-lubricating properties of polyethylene with the efficient radiation absorption of boron element. Among them, boron atoms have a high absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons, which can accurately and effectively reduce neutron radiation intensity; The hydrogen atoms in polyethylene can slow down fast neutrons, and the two work together to significantly improve the overall shielding efficiency, thus achieving a complete shielding effect against neutron radiation.

In practical applications, boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets have a wide range of application scenarios. In the field of nuclear industry, it is applied to the shielding walls of nuclear power plant control rooms and the operation consoles of radiation laboratories, effectively blocking the release of thermal neutrons and gamma rays from reactors, and building a strong safety defense line for workers. In terms of medical irradiation equipment, this material is used in key parts such as the protective door of medical electron accelerators and the shielding layer of gamma knife treatment rooms, greatly reducing the radiation exposure of medical staff and patients to neutrons and gamma rays leaked during the treatment process, and ensuring the health and safety of both doctors and patients. The shielding cover of industrial flaw detection equipment in the fields of scientific research and industrial testing also benefits from the use of this material, successfully preventing the spread of X-rays and neutron radiation, fully complying with relevant safety standards. Even in harsh environments, such as the radiation monitoring equipment casing of polar scientific research stations, boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets, with their low temperature resistance (-70 ℃ non brittle fracture) and corrosion resistance, are well adapted to harsh weather conditions, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

It is reported that several large enterprises have reached cooperation intentions with Henan Jinhang to apply boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets in practical projects. In the future, with the further expansion of the market and continuous innovation of application technology, boron containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets are expected to be widely used in more fields and become star products in the field of radiation protection.
