Tungsten plastic also named plastic tungsten which contains tungsten and plastic has the advantage of tungsten such as good radiation resistance, high density, etc. through extrusion technology, and adding plastic in tungsten, it also has advantages of plastic. It is low cost and higher ductility. As the properties, uses of tungsten plastic dates back to several years ago. It makes an important contribution in our daily life, especially in radiation shielding areas. Instead of lead, it is a better material to make radiation shielding, because it is non-toxic material.
There is a wide range of types of plastic tungsten intended for manufacture of parts in machining. The various types of plastic tungsten differ in their properties – specific weight, strength, tolerance to heat, stability, obtainable accuracy, etc. Tungsten plastic has excellent corrosion resistance and is attacked only slightly by most mineral acids, which are made from tungsten-filled polymers, such as nylons, urethanes and thermoplastic elastomers.
Applications of Tungsten Plastic
Recently tungsten has more and more derivative product such as tungsten poly, tungsten plastic products, etc. Our plastic tungsten composite bands are cut from tubes extruded in a single process. Plastic tungsten can provide cost savings and shorten lead times, Chinatungsten offers outstanding rationality and can be thermally bonded to shafts for greater quality assurance. Tungsten plastic is used when efforts accelerated to replace lead for radiation-shielding applications. Good corrosion resistance and good surface finishing of tungsten plastic products are critical. Tungsten loadings range from 65% to 80% by weight to meet radiopacity requirements. As these properties, tungsten plastic tubes are widely used in industry areas.
Most widely used production is radiation shielding, as plastic tungsten has the properties of tungsten such as high radiation absorption, high density, non-toxic, environmental friendly, etc. Tungsten plastic is the best material to make into radiation shielding which is widely used in medical areas as well as other industry areas. It is one of our leading products, we can provide all kinds of plastic tungsten products as your requirements.
