Why use Wolfram X-ray Protection Apron?

With the development of our daily life, more and more machines are used by people both in medical and other industries which brought much more radiation for us than ever, such as X-ray radiation, gamma radiation (energetic electromagnetic radiation), radiation of alpha particles (helium atoms) beta particles (electrons) and cosmic radiation, etc. they are very harmful to our body, to protect our health from the radiation, there also comes a lot of shielding made by wolfram heavy alloy such as wolfram X-ray protection apron which is very popular in medical especially when the patient makes a panorama X-ray.

There are wolfram anodes made from wolfram powder in the X-ray machine but the patients also have to wear a wolfram X-ray protective apron when they are making panorama X-ray of teeth or other parts on the body, due to the environmental reasons this apron is made of wolfram powder dispersed in latex. wolfram X-ray protection apron made from wolfram powder equally protects against the radiation and is eco friendly.

Wolfram powder can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Besides, compared with lead or depleted uranium in the past, wolfram powder is more acceptable in this case, for they are non-toxic. That's why wolfram powder is very popular as the material to make shielding.

Wolfram anodes made from wolfram powder are used in the X-ray machine; modern aprons are filled with wolfram powder, calcium wolfram powder is still used as fluorescent material in X-ray films.Wolfram powder products becomes more and more popular because of its good properties.

Wolfram heavy alloy shielding made from wolfram powder is also used in applications such as collimator, nuclear shielding, beam stop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator etc. Chinatungsten can provide various of wolfram powder products as your requirements.
