Tungsten rubber is a newly developed material made from a mixture of tungsten powder and high molecular polymers such as rubber or plastic. This material has excellent radiation protection properties and can effectively absorb and block high-energy rays, so it is widely used in the field of protection of medical equipment and medical staff. The following is a detailed introduction to tungsten rubber:
- Tungsten rubber manufacturing materials
Tungsten rubber is made by mixing tungsten powder and high molecular polymers such as rubber or plastic. Tungsten powder is a high-density, high-melting-point metal powder with excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, etc. High molecular polymers such as rubber or plastic have good flexibility and plasticity, allowing tungsten rubber to adapt to different shape and size requirements.
- Performance characteristics of tungsten rubber
- Radiation protection performance: Tungsten rubber has excellent radiation protection properties and can effectively absorb and block high-energy rays, such as X-rays and gamma rays. Its radiation protection performance mainly benefits from the high density and good atomic capture ability of tungsten powder, which can effectively absorb and fix radioactive atoms and reduce radiation dose. According to relevant test data, tungsten rubber has a better blocking rate of high-energy rays than traditional lead and lead alloy shielding materials.
- Controllable density: The density of tungsten rubber can be adjusted as needed, and its density can be controlled by changing the ratio of tungsten powder to rubber or plastic. This gives tungsten rubber flexibility in manufacturing shields for different uses to meet different protection needs.
- Non-toxic and environmentally friendly: Compared with traditional lead and lead alloy shielding materials, tungsten rubber is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly material. It does not release harmful substances and is harmless to the environment and human health. This makes tungsten rubber widely used in the field of medical equipment and protection of medical personnel.
- High flexibility: Tungsten rubber has good flexibility and plasticity and can adapt to different shape and size requirements. This gives tungsten rubber an advantage in manufacturing various protective clothing, gloves, hats and other shielding parts, and can provide comprehensive protective effects.
- Simple processing technology: The processing technology of tungsten rubber is relatively simple and can be manufactured through conventional molding processes. This makes tungsten rubber highly efficient and processable during the production process.
- Application fields of tungsten rubber
- Medical field: Tungsten rubber is widely used in the medical field and is mainly used to manufacture medical equipment and protective equipment for medical staff. For example, tungsten rubber can be used to make protective covers for X-ray machines and gamma knife equipment, as well as protective clothing, gloves, hats, etc. for medical staff. The excellent radiation protection properties of tungsten rubber can effectively protect medical staff from radiation damage.
- Scientific research field: In the scientific research field, tungsten rubber can be used to manufacture shielding parts for various experimental equipment, such as particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, etc. Its excellent radiation protection performance can provide scientific researchers with a safe and reliable experimental environment.
- Industrial field: In the industrial field, tungsten rubber can be used to manufacture shielding parts for various high-energy ray equipment, such as industrial X-ray machines, industrial CT, etc. At the same time, tungsten rubber can also be used in radiation protection equipment in fields such as nuclear energy production, radioactivity detection and measurement, and nuclear waste processing.
- Other fields: In addition to its applications in medical, scientific research and industrial fields, tungsten rubber can also be used in military, environmental protection, security and other fields to protect personnel from nuclear radiation and radioactive substances.
In general, tungsten rubber, as a new type of radiation protection material, has the advantages of excellent radiation protection performance, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, controllable density, and high flexibility. It is widely used in medical equipment, protective equipment for medical staff, scientific research equipment, industrial production and other fields to provide safe and reliable radiation protection for workers. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application prospects of tungsten rubber will be broader.
