Industries
SMR & Microreactor
SILFLEX® provides high-performance custom shielding for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and microreactors, offering a critical advantage in high-heat environments where standard materials fail.
With a temperature rating of 250°C, Silflex withstands neutron and gamma energy sources that would melt standard borated plastics capped at 120°C. Silflex's high degree of customization allows for maximum attenuation while minimizing weight and floor space in tight quarters. Additionally, integrating Silflex pipe wraps during the design phase enables engineers to accurately calculate the weight of pipe supports, ensuring structural integrity and optimal space efficiency.​​
Commercial Nuclear
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WERE EARLY ADOPTERS OF SILFLEX TECHNOLOGY AND REMAIN THE PRIMARY SECTOR FOR OUR RADIATION SHIELDING SOLUTIONS TODAY.
Through close collaboration with industry engineers, we have co-developed many of our core designs to meet rigorous plant standards. As a result, Silflex products are now trusted and deployed in nuclear facilities worldwide.​​
Nuclear Labs
SILFLEX® SHIELDING IS A TRUSTED STANDARD IN THE MAJORITY OF NUCLEAR LABORATORIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.
We have developed cost-saving innovations, such as our lead blanket replacement sheets, specifically to support laboratory environments. These products provide optimal shielding for lower-level radiation applications, offering a modern and efficient upgrade to traditional materials.
Military
SILFLEX® PROVIDES CRITICAL SHIELDING SOLUTIONS FOR NAVAL REACTORS, WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED AND PROXIMITY TO RADIOACTIVE SOURCES IS HIGH.
With significantly less square footage than commercial power plants, naval applications require shielding that maximizes space efficiency without compromising safety. Our magnetic products, sheets, and pipe wraps are the primary defenses deployed to protect personnel in these confined military environments.

Railway
SILFLEX® PROVIDES ESSENTIAL PROTECTION FOR RAIL AND TIE INSPECTIONS, SHIELDING WORKERS FROM MOBILE X-RAY SOURCES.
Designed to mitigate radiation from truck-mounted X-ray units, our shielding ensures the safety of nearby personnel. To withstand rugged field use, we can attach protective barriers directly to the Silflex material, increasing durability and significantly extending the product's lifespan.​​
Nondestructive Testing
SILFLEX® MAXIMIZES EFFICIENCY IN NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT), REDUCING RADIATION DOSE AND DOWNTIME FOR INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHY.
Engineered for Se-75 and Ir-192 sources, our sheets, pipe wraps, and tapes allow operators to shield cameras, collimators, and guide tubes directly. This capability enables radiography shots within a localized radius, eliminating the traditional need to wait for off-peak hours and significantly improving operational timelines.
Refinery
SILFLEX® DELIVERS VERSATILE PIPELINE SHIELDING FOR NDT APPLICATIONS AND MANAGEMENT OF NATURALLY OCCURRING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS.
Designed for rugged pipeline environments, Silflex provides effective isolation from Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) often found in the field. Additionally, our sheets and tapes are widely used to shield detectors, reducing interference from background radiation and ensuring precise data collection.
