Plast-O-Matic Valves, Inc.
Valve Actuator keeps gamma radiation process cool Case History: One-second valve actuator keeps Gamma Radiation process cool. A medical device manufacturer uses cobalt 60 and other isotopes to sterilize medical and pharmaceutical components. The process requires a conveyor system that moves the products through specially protected radiation rooms, where they are bombarded with Gamma rays. The environment is deadly to humans. Before personnel can enter the room to handle the sterilized equipment, all of the radioactive isotopes are lowered... (read more)Browse Valve Actuators Datasheets for Plast-O-Matic Valves, Inc. -
ExxonMobil - Polypropylene Products
Enhance resistance to gamma in medical devices Gamma radiation is a common sterilization technique for medical products. Generally, polypropylene (PP) resins exposed to gamma or other high-energy radiation sources lose physical and mechanical properties after exposure. Vistamaxx performance polymers can enhance the flexibility and toughness of polymers, improving the performance of PP resins after gamma sterilization.

MarShield
Reduce Radiation Exposure with Tungsten Shielding Several applications require shielding from radiation where lead is not a feasible material. Tungsten heavy alloy provides an alternative to lead that is strong and highly customizable into precision components. With an approximately 1.7 times greater density than lead, tungsten guarantees radiation exposure is kept to a minimum. Benefits Of Using Tungsten. Tungsten 's higher density means the material provides better gamma ray absorption and radiation shielding. Not only is tungsten thicker...

MarShield Radiation Shielding in Nuclear Medicine storage containers are often referred to as "pigs ". Solid tungsten is a very commonly used material because it is durable and has slightly better gamma radiation attenuation than lead. The drawback of tungsten is that it is significantly more expensive than the lead. Solid tungsten can also be made into syringe shields and vial transport containers. Lead pigs can be susceptible to being damaged or dented over time but is often more cost effective than tungsten. The pigs can be encased in metal...
