Plastics For Nuclear Industry

YASU offers high-performance materials specifically developed for neutron shielding made of thermoplastics (UHMW-PE/HMW-PE), and Boron Content material. These materials have very high hydrogen contents for decelerating fast neutrons, are available with different boron contecnt depending on the shielding material used to absorption of thermal neutrons and are suitable for a wide range of continuous operating temperatures.

Compared with other shieding materials, the BPE sheet is lighter weight and easier to handle and fabricate to a variety of shapes and parts
