Borotron® HM030 High Molecular Weight Polyethylene HMW-PE shapes are enhanced with 3.0% elemental boron, which makes this grade suitable in shielding applications in nuclear and medical applications. The high hydrogen content of HMW-PE allows this grade to absorb thermal neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound. For these reasons, Borotron HM030 HMW-PE components are often favored as solutions in nuclear waste disposal and detection system, nuclear material storage and transportation, radiation therapy environments, and hot cell technology applications.

Borotron® HM050 High Molecular Weight Polyethylene HMW-PE shapes are enhanced with 5.0% elemental boron, which makes this grade a superior performer in extreme shielding applications in nuclear and medical applications. The high hydrogen content of HMW-PE allows this grade to absorb thermal neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound. For these reasons, Borotron HM050 HMW-PE components are often favored as solutions in nuclear waste disposal and detection system, nuclear material storage and transportation, radiation therapy environments, and hot cell technology applications within the nuclear and medical technology markets.

Borotron® UH015 Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene UHMW-PE shapes are enhanced with 1.5% elemental boron, which makes this grade a superior performer in extreme shielding applications in nuclear and medical applications. The high hydrogen content of HMW-PE allows this grade to absorb thermal neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound. For these reasons, Borotron UH015 UHMW-PE components are prevalent in the nuclear and medical technology industries.
