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.
Safety Work Box
For transport or bench storing of [32P]
Beta emitting isotopes or Gamma emitting [125I] iodine,
these clear acrylic boxes have hinged lids enabling safe access to
contents. Supplied without racks which are available as options (see
below).

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
