Specialty Products
DOT 7A Containers
SILFLEX® DOT-APPROVED TYPE 7A CONTAINERS DELIVER SUPERIOR DOSE REDUCTION FOR THE SAFE TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS.
Available in 50 mL and 1 L sizes, our stainless steel containers utilize a Silflex interlayer to achieve drastic dose reductions. Key features include a stepped lid to eliminate radiation streaming and an optional "Super Shield" high-density insert for the 1L model, which maximizes attenuation for high-activity samples.
Dry Cask Shield
SILFLEX® DELIVERS SPECIALIZED MODULAR SHIELDING FOR DRY CASK AND SHIELD BELL OPERATIONS, ACHIEVING UP TO 90% DOSE REDUCTION.
Engineered for critical transfer and storage tasks, our lightweight tungsten and neutron packages withstand the heat of forced helium drying while maintaining accessible weld locations. Our shield bells ensure precise overlap to minimize streaming, while our innovative wedge shielding replaces lead snakes to effectively seal annulus gaps against both gamma and neutron radiation.
Silflex shielding reduces background interference to keep body count monitors operational and prevent costly downtime.
Electronic
SILFLEX® PROTECTS SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTATION FROM BACKGROUND RADIATION, PREVENTING DAMAGE AND ENSURING ACCURATE DATA COLLECTION.
High radiation levels can cause false readings or permanent failure in cameras, collimators, and whole body monitors. We provide non-hazardous, cost-effective alternatives to lead and pure tungsten, including custom solutions such as collimator assemblies and magnetic detector shields. By reducing background interference, Silflex keeps your essential monitoring equipment in service and protects it from degradation.
FME Plugs
SILFLEX® FME PLUGS DELIVER SIMULTANEOUS RADIATION SHIELDING AND FOREIGN MATERIAL EXCLUSION FOR CRITICAL PIPING MAINTENANCE.
Designed for immediate installation after component removal, our plugs secure pipe ends during weld preparation. Available in foam-lined, magnetic, and tapered configurations, they feature high-temperature coatings to withstand welding heat and integrated straps for efficient handling.
Frisker Caves
SILFLEX® FRISKER CAVES DELIVER SUPERIOR BACKGROUND REDUCTION WITH A MODULAR, PORTABLE DESIGN FOR FIELD INSPECTIONS.
Unlike cumbersome lead alternatives, our innovative design utilizes removable magnetic shielding tiles to maximize portability and ease of assembly. Customizable to any dimension or detector model, this modular approach enables heavy-duty shielding while ensuring that no single component exceeds safe lifting limits.
Reactor Face Shield
SILFLEX® patented reactor face shield for CANDU nuclear reactor shielding is designed to install over the end fittings at the reactor face to limit personnel dose during outages.
Installing in seconds, providing a 30-40% general area dose reduction on Co-60. The reactor face shield has been optimized through several iterations within Canada, with rounded edges, and is available with or without the tie-off strap.
Spray Shield
SILFLEX® SPRAY AND PUTTY SOLUTIONS DELIVER VERSATILE PROTECTION FOR HARD-TO-REACH AREAS AND COMPLEX GEOMETRIES.
Our spray shielding solution allows for easy on-site application in tight spaces and existing fabrications, curing to provide attenuation identical to solid Silflex. Complementing this, our high-performance putty and foams effectively seal gaps, cracks, and pipe penetrations, ensuring comprehensive coverage where rigid materials cannot reach. Liquid-to-solid pour-on-site options are available.
Transport Container
SILFLEX® transport containers are secure and lightweight for the transfer of hot particles and chemical samples in nuclear facilities.
Our 1-gallon tinplate steel transport containers are designed for general-purpose applications where particulate and small components can be shielded. These containers can be handled with heavy-duty gloves or equipped with a silicone handle attachment for comfort.
Underhead Shield
SILFLEX® Underhead shielding shows the capabilities of Silflex Premium Magnetic to shield on and around the reactor's many components
FME shield plugs are used to cap the pipes and hanging Silflex curtains shield around the dome. Installing in minutes, this underhead shield lowers dose rates by over 50% on a mix of Co-60, Co-58, and Cs-137.
