Bron-containing BPE sheets are a new type of neutron radiation shielding material. Due to their superior performance, they are now widely used in key industries such as nuclear power, medical, and defense, and have been successfully exported overseas, providing reliable solutions for the global radiation protection field.

The core protective advantage of boron-containing BPE sheets stems from the high efficiency of boron. Boron has a large reaction cross-section with neutrons, allowing it to completely absorb neutrons before they react with hydrogen, thus achieving neutron radiation shielding at its source and effectively avoiding the harm of nuclear radiation and neutron radiation to individuals and society.

In addition to its core radiation protection performance, boron-containing polyethylene (BPE) sheets possess multiple superior characteristics: highly efficient neutron shielding performance is a core advantage; the synergistic effect of boron and hydrogen significantly reduces neutron radiation intensity; uniform internal boron distribution and consistent structure eliminate shielding dead zones and splicing leakage problems; mechanical strength far exceeds traditional shielding materials, offering impact resistance, high toughness, and resistance to breakage and deformation, facilitating installation; density significantly lower than lead, making it lightweight and easy to process, allowing for flexible cutting, drilling, and other shaping operations; stable physicochemical properties, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and long service life; and excellent electrical insulation, effectively dissipating surface static charges and achieving long-lasting antistatic properties.

Currently, BPE sheets are widely used in major nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors, CNPC, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and various research laboratories. They can also serve as core protective materials for nuclear experimental product containers, neutron beam collimators, neutron traps, and nuclear reactor control rods, meeting the core needs of neutron and X-ray radiation protection in various fields and contributing to the safe and orderly development of related industries.
