Pure Polyethylene
High purity, high density, high and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Pure polyethylene neutron shielding is often used as a moderator to slow fast neutrons to thermal energies. |

![]() |
Boronated Polyethylene
The combination of polyethylene with its high hydrogen concentration and boron makes JCPE5 a very useful neutron shielding material in areas of low and intermediate neutron flux. |

![]() |
Self-Extinguishing Borated Poly
JC207 from is a self-extinguishing borated polyethylene. Ideally suited for use as a neutron shielding material in areas of low and intermediate neutron flux, where there is concern about the level of combustible materials. |

Lithium Polyethylene
Gamma sensitive radiation detectors used near neutron sources need shielding from both capture gamma-rays and the neutron source. |

Borated Flex / Panel Wall Shield
High energy accelerators and fusion test facilities can produce high energy neutrons. JC227 Neutron Shield is designed to be fixed to walls, floors and ceilings to reduce activation of concrete and cut down the overall radiation field. |

Boro-Silicone
Boro-silicone is a fire resistant, heat resistant, self-extinguishing elastomer which is available for field casting or pre-cast to specification. It is a hydrogen rich neutron shield and will withstand temperatures of up to 205ºC for long periods. |

Polycast
Polycast is a dry mix material designed to be cast into closed containers. It is field castable, providing excellent, low cost neutron shielding, with a hydrogen content 6% greater than that of water. |

Neutron Putty
Neutron putty is non-hardening boron loaded putty with a high hydrogen content. A 25mm thickness of JC261 Neutron Shield will attenuate thermal neutrons by a factor of approximately 105. |

Neutron Shipping Casks
Neutron sources such as Cf, Am-Be and Pu-Be require transporting in specialist shielding casks. Model JC258 is designed for this purpose. These casks are designed to be moved by fork lift or overhead lifting device. |
