ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS |
|
The lighter weight (lead-vinyl is 32% heavier) results from the use of the two attenuating elements, where the antimony provides more efficient attenuation of that portion of the photon spectrum below the K-edge window of lead (35 88 keV), comple-mented by the higher Z element tungsten, which is more efficient for stopping higher energy radiation (02 69 keV), and also covers the K-edge window of antimony (< 35 keV).
|
The attenuating elements, in fine powder form, are supported, encapsulated and homogeneously distributed in a tough-but flexible, high-tech plasticized Dow elastomer matrix. This Dow-DuPont developed elastomer carrier was selected in 2012 after 3 year’s R&D as having the best balance of toughness, flexibility, durability and cracking resistance, and is more commonly used for flexing components (e.g, running shoes, wire and cable).
|
The lead-free material is not “cross-linked” (or “cured”) and is therefore fully recyclable, and thermally re-processable, or may be disposed of as a non-hazardous, non-toxic waste, in municipal landfills.
