The Demron™ ALARA Shield blanket is a contemporary shielding solution for gamma and X-Ray radiation. The fabric can be configured in industry standard shielding blankets or curtain designs as well as in unique, customizable designs.
Utilizing a patented material that is a mixture of heavy metal and polymers, the ALARA shielding material allows for an industrial shielding solution that is lighter in weight than lead and is Non-Toxic. Therefore, when the Demron material becomes contaminated with residual radioactive contamination it is NOT A MIXED HAZARDOUS Material such as traditional lead.
The material is available in 6 or 12 layer thicknesses
Key Benefits:
Significantly lighter weight (pounds/square foot) compared to lead; Results in reduced resources and person dose required to deploy/collect
Non-toxic material; eliminate mixed hazardous waste concerns typically encountered with lead
Customizable size and thickness solutions; can develop a specific solution for a given application
The outer layer of material is easily wiped down/decontaminated due to Herculite outer layer
Large Area Blankets/Curtains can be designed with grommets or magnets to facilitate easy hanging and attaching to surfaces and locations
Blanket Use Cases:
Pipe/component shielding
Outage/Reactor Head/Cavity shielding
Tool/Component shielding
Rad Monitoring or Contamination/Portal Monitoring shielding
Shadow or Large Area shielding
