Magnetics

Our Patented Silflex Premium Magnetic radiation shielding is built for carbon steel pipes and walls. Personnel can adapt shielding based on live dose-rate surveys by adding extra shielding within seconds, without secondary attachment. Unlike discrete magnets, which can cause FME issues, safety issues, and tear through the silicone, positioning and removal with Silflex magnetic radiation shielding are safe, simple, and quick. The magnetic strength shows NO decrease over the term of use and is seismically qualified in many North American plants.

Single-sided Silflex magnetic radiation shielding is ideal for attaching to permeable magnetic surfaces such as carbon steel. These sheets work great with our lightweight shield racks, which are designed to accommodate our sheet magnetic products. Our double-sided magnetic radiation shielding adheres to itself and can be wrapped or stacked. These are used to shield non-magnetic areas, such as stainless steel piping.

Magnetic radiation shielding sheets and pipe wraps are available with all Silflex radiation shielding materials. By stacking multiple layers of different shielding materials, these products can be engineered to shield beta, neutron, and gamma radiation, such as in our dry cask shielding.

Silflex magnetic radiation shielding sheets are effective on surfaces with temperatures ranging from -50 C to 100 C (-58 F to 212 F). Beyond this range, there will be a gradual, temporary loss of magnetic strength. Above 400 C (752 F), there may be a permanent loss in magnetism.

Silflex magnetic radiation shielding can replace lead blankets to save space and improve aesthetics within the facility.
