Development Case: "Tungsten Radiation Shielding Fabric"

It has shielding capabilities equivalent to existing shielding bodies, and is also lightweight and highly flexible.

The "tungsten radiation shielding fabric," processed into smooth fibers using Toho Metal's technology and woven with the cooperation of a fiber manufacturer, possesses shielding capabilities equivalent to existing shielding materials while being lightweight and highly flexible. It is expected to be developed for use in protective clothing at nuclear power plants and as a new shielding material in the medical field. 【Features】 ○ γ-ray shielding rate of 10.7% ○ By layering the fabric or combining it with tungsten plates (0.1mm), shielding of over 25% is also possible. ○ Successful development as a new shielding material that is lightweight and highly flexible by turning it into fabric. ○ When this shielding fabric is used in protective clothing worn by humans, it can significantly reduce the burden on workers compared to the heavy and cumbersome shielding materials used previously.
