Why Do We Need Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding? 

Tungsten vial shielding for transportation, with rapid development of medical science, more and more radiation instruments are used in our lives. Medical instruments x-ray and nuclear power stations have become widespread and are now affecting all our lives. It is essential that people paid more attention to radiation and even more important for the institutions to protect public from the radiation exposure and to make sure to protect every radiation source of X-ray radiation, gamma radiation (energetic electromagnetic radiation), radiation of alpha particles (helium atoms) beta particles (electrons) and cosmic radiation, etc.Tungsten Alloy Syringe Shield

In order to protect patients, doctors, nurses and other people who may be exposed to radiation, sources of the radiation must be safely separated and shielded. It is crucial that holding and delivery instruments for radioactive materials would keep the radiation levels low enough, not to create harmful effects of ionizing radiation such as breast cancer, skin cancer, etc. Lead and steel are the traditional protection materials, but tungsten alloy radiation shielding is no doubt the best solution. Excellent radiation-absorption, twice the density of lead and good physical resistance is main reasons to use tungsten alloy radiation shielding.

Applications of Tungsten heavy alloys vial Shield

The usage of tungsten heavy alloy in radiation protection is not subject to NRC, EPA, or special OSHA regulations, so it has been widely used in nuclear medicine as collimator, isotope container, cancer treatment source holder, etc.

A tungsten vial shield is a radiation shielding device used to protect workers and the public from exposure to radioactive materials. It is made of tungsten, a dense metal that is effective in blocking radiation. The shield is designed to enclose and contain radioactive materials in a vial or container, preventing the release of harmful radiation. The tungsten vial shield is commonly used in nuclear medicine, radiopharmacy, and other industries that handle radioactive materials. It is an essential safety measure to prevent radiation exposure and protect the environment.
