Button-enquiry Elastomers - Nuclear
Onefifty_shieldseal-_crop160

James Walker has developed two ranges of Shieldseal® elastomers for use with ionising radiation. They are backed with evaluation results from specialist test houses and nuclear sector customers.

Shieldseal® 500: World-leading range of lead-free elastomers for shielding X-ray and gamma radiation. They are used where a resilient rubber-based seal is needed to prevent shine paths in active areas.

Shieldseal® 600: Elastomers that resist ionising radiation. Their change in physical properties has been monitored over time with gamma radiation to prove compression-set resistance and long service life.
