Borated Polyethylene
Modular HDPE blocks for precision-engineered neutron shielding.
Mars Strahlenschutz polyethylene shielding is designed to deliver superior neutron attenuation in industrial and research settings. By utilizing material rich in hydrogen, our shielding significantly reduces neutron velocity and energy. When integrated with lead panels, it provides a comprehensive modular solution for simultaneous gamma and neutron protection. Available in high-precision modular blocks or custom panels, our system allows for rapid deployment and adaptable configurations.
