FABRIC PROTECTS AGAINST RADIATION

FABRIC, radiation protective

On this achievement, said the magazine New Scientist. The publication says that the material is called Demron is not toxic and does not contain lead. To create a protective fabric Demron is placed between two layers of a conventional material.

The new fabric can be used in a variety of fields - from the creation of light protective overalls, the freedom of movement when working in areas with high levels of radiation to the protective tents and materials for aircraft and spacecraft.

Universal protection?

Unlike traditional protective clothing, saving only of alpha radiation, developed by the Florida Radiation Shield Technologies Demron also blocks beta-and gamma-rays. All three types of radiation produced by the decay of radioactive material.

The new fabric was originally conceived as a protective material for health professionals working with X-ray machines, but its creators believe that Demron useful in the nuclear industry.

According to Jenin clubbers of international concern British Nuclear Fuels, really appreciate the advantages of the new tissue can be achieved only when it becomes clear what level of protection it provides and how to change under the influence of radiation.
