 Technology Profile

Title:

Radiation Shielding Material
Value Proposition:

A novel process for making non-toxic, highly effective shielding materials for attenuation X-ray and Gamma radiation, utilizing industrial waste, namely red mud and fly ash. Computed half value thickness (HVT) and compared it with that of conventional concrete and lead material.
Summary Application:

Various shielding applications in diagnostic X-ray and CT installation.
Advantages:
  • Non Toxic Lead free & rare earth free.
  • Gamma Ray & Neutron radiation, High Temperature Stability.
  • Low thickness
