With the widespread application of nuclear energy technology, radiation protection has become a major global concern. Our company's boron-containing polyethylene sheets, with their excellent neutron shielding performance and comprehensive physical properties, are constructing a robust yet lightweight "invisible armor" for fields such as nuclear power, medical, and defense.

The core advantage of boron-containing polyethylene sheets stems from their ingenious material design. The uniformly distributed boron in the sheet has a high reaction cross-section for thermal neutrons, enabling efficient absorption of neutrons before hydrogen moderates them. This "boron-hydrogen synergistic" mechanism significantly weakens neutron radiation intensity, resulting in shielding efficiency far superior to traditional materials. Simultaneously, the highly uniform boron distribution ensures comprehensive shielding performance, effectively eliminating the risk of leakage from seams.

In terms of physical properties, boron-containing polyethylene sheets also exhibit superior performance. They possess good mechanical strength and toughness, are impact-resistant, and not easily deformed, greatly facilitating transportation and installation. Compared to lead sheets, boron-containing polyethylene (BPE) has a lower density and lighter weight, and can be cut, drilled, and other conventionally processed, offering flexible shaping capabilities to adapt to various complex working conditions. Furthermore, this sheet is corrosion-resistant, anti-aging, has excellent electrical insulation, a long service life, and outstanding overall cost-effectiveness.

For these reasons, BPE sheets are widely used in nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors, CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and various nuclear physics laboratories. Whether used as neutron beam collimators, neutron traps, or protective materials for nuclear experimental product containers and control rods, it provides stable and reliable shielding performance, safeguarding the safety of researchers and the public.
