Radifend silicone radiation shielding sheet

Radifend is a fully encased, silicone-based radiation shielding system used in the nuclear industry, defense industry and in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT). It provides unique and flexible protection in various gamma and X-ray radiation situations.

Radifend is an innovative radiation protection solution that offers numerous advantages over traditional shielding materials. Thanks to its design, it can be safely and efficiently applied in the most diverse industrial environments.

Main characteristics and advantages:

Flexible material: The sheet is bendable and formable, allowing installation in hard-to-reach places.
Safe composition: Due to its low chloride, fluoride and sulfur content, it can be safely used in contact with stainless steel surfaces.
Easy to clean: Its surface is easy to clean, so the sheet can be reused many times.
Encased and hermetically sealed: It has no sharp edges, making it safer to handle.
Fire resistant: The material has fire-resistant properties.
Homogeneous shielding material: The homogeneous material structure guarantees comprehensive protection and prevents material settling that can occur with traditional PVC bag solutions.
Resistant to high temperatures: Applicable in a wide temperature range.
Reinforced structure: The integrated polymer reinforcement provides extra strength to the sheet.
Custom shapes: In addition to standard flat sheets, it is also available in custom molded forms, tailored to the needs of the specific application.
Optional accessories: Factory-mounted stainless steel eyelets, various types of hooks and PVC protective bags can also be ordered for the product.
