Jencons, Radiation Protection Shielding

Beta emissions of ³²P, ³⁵S, ³H and ¹⁴C can be effectively blocked by 10mm thick optical acrylic. All Jencons Beta shielding is manufactured from heavy gauge 10mm thick acrylic.

Where shielding is required for protection against Gamma emissions of [¹²⁵I] Iodine and other Gamma emitters of lesser energy, a 12mm thick lead acrylic is required. This is the heavy gauge lead acrylic Jencons uses for its Gamma shielding products.

Adjustable Radiation Protection Shields

Clear lead impregnated and standard acrylic for protection from [¹²⁵I] Gamma and [³²P] Beta emissions. These shields are adjustable from 0° to 15° and can be used in either a tall or wide orientation.

• Gamma 350x540(wxh) x12mm thick
• Beta 350x540(wxh) x10mm thick

Important Safety Notice
Lead acrylic is meant for [¹²⁵I] and related Gamma blockage only. When Beta emitting particles such as [³²P] or [³⁵S] are exposed to heavy metals such as lead, dangerous Bremstrahlung X-rays are produced.

Specials
Custom-made shields and accessories in 10mm standard and 12mm lead impregnated acrylic are available. Please contact our Technical Office for details on 01342 337447.
