Description:

Pure Polyethylene is frequently used as a moderator where it is desired to slow fast neutrons down to thermal energies for experimentation. In these applications it is highly desirable to maximize the hydrogen content and minimize any impurities, especially those that might absorb neutrons. We can supply high purity virgin polyethylene for this application in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pure polyethylene can be readily machined into complex shapes for applications involving reactor physics, activation analysis or isotopic neutron sources.
