Abstract
Use of a single-piece covering consisting of thermosetting polymer for protecting radiation protection elements which consist of at least one radiation protection material which is formed from at least one elastomer and at least one heavy chemical element—in ionic or elemental form—wherein the chemical element is selected from lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb) and barium (Ba), wherein the Shore A hardness of the covering is in the range of 50 to 90, method for protecting such coverings and the enclosed radiation protection elements and fittings which are produced from radiation protection material.
Claims20
Use of a single-piece covering comprising thermosetting polymer for protecting radiation protection elements which comprise at least one radiation protection material which is formed from at least one elastomer and at least one heavy chemical element—in ionic or elemental form—wherein the chemical element is selected from lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb) and barium (Ba), wherein the Shore A hardness of the covering is in the range of 50 to 90.
(canceled)
A method for producing an enclosed radiation protection element, comprising the method steps of:
- providing the radiation protection material comprising an elastomer and a heavy chemical element, wherein the elastomer is natural rubber (NR), synthetic rubber (BR) or chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) and wherein the heavy element is selected from lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb) and barium (Ba);
- enclosing the element by simultaneous application of the cross-linking agent and the hardening agent, wherein the thickness of the covering is less than or equal to 2 mm, and has a Shore A hardness which is in the range from 50 to 90.
