Magnetic Radiation Shielding
Overview
Magnetic radiation shielding (including magnetic tungsten radiation and magnetic bismuth shielding) incorporates high strength magnets to adhere safely and securely to carbon steel surfaces. Magnetic radiation shielding offers significant reduction in installation time when compared to traditional shielding blankets or walls. It can be manufactured in custom shapes to suit unique applications. Various hanging hardware can be incorporated when a secondary restraint is required. Both T-Flex and Lead Blankets can be magnetic.
