Polyethylene Neutron / Gamma Shielding  :  PURE POLYETHYLENE

Pure Polyethylene is often used as a moderator to slow fast neutrons to thermal energies. To be most effective in these applications it is important to maximize the hydrogen content and minimize impurities that absorb neutrons. It is in high purity & Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Polyethylene is available in slabs, bricks, cylinders, rods, and tubes of different sizes and can be manufactured into custom molds to create application specific shielding forms.
