Jencons,
Radiation Protection Shielding
Beta emissions of 32P, 35S, 3H
and 14C can be effectively blocked by 10mm thick optical
acrylic. All Jencons Beta shielding is manufactured from heavy
gauge 10mm thick acrylic.
Where shielding is required for protection against
Gamma emissions of [125I] Iodine and other Gamma emitters
of lesser energy, a 12mm thick lead acrylic is required. This is
the heavy gauge lead acrylic Jencons uses for its Gamma shielding
products.
Dual Angle Radiation Safety
Shields
Clear acrylic shield
for work requiring standing observation. Shields with large base
for under bench protection and with curved base for use with our
safety containment trays. A 3-sided shield can be used in conjunction
with the Beta shields providing further protection.

Important
Safety Notice
Lead acrylic is meant for [125I] and related Gamma
blockage only. When Beta emitting particles such as [32P]
or [35S] are exposed to heavy metals such as lead, dangerous
Bremstrahlung X-rays are produced.
Specials
Custom-made shields and accessories in 10mm standard and 12mm lead impregnated
acrylic are available. Please contact our Technical Office for details on 01342
