King Plasti-Shield®, The Borated Polyethylene Neutron Shielding.
Applications
- Airport and Seaport Security
- Doors for Linear Accelerators
- International Border Security
- Medical Vaults
- Nuclear-Powered Vessels
- Nuclear Reactors
- Research Applications
King Plasti-Shield® is an effective shielding material with 5% boron by weight and our trademark purple color to meet all applicable applications for healthcare cancer treatment centers, diagnostic and hospital facilities. Applications include linear accelerators, nuclear or radiation shielding, industrial use, security such as seaports and airport security, nuclear submarines, nuclear power plants, border protection and other applications requiring attenuation of thermal neutrons.
Our process, materials, quality programs, sampling, testing, tracing and packaging all meet or exceed military specifications such as MIL-P23536A and EB2562E with 2% boron only. We use MIL-STD-45662 for internal calibration system traceable back to NIST.
