Radiation Shielding
Wolfmet tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against X rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of Wolfmet tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
Wolfmet tungsten shielding is used in applications such as collimators, nuclear shielding, beamstops, PET syringe shields, vial shields, isotope containers, FDG containers, multi leaf collimators, etc in the following industries:
