Anti-radiation barium sulfate is a good protective material for high-energy ray protection

Barium sulfate is a good protective material for high-energy radiation protection, with the advantages of low cost, convenient construction and long service life; barite has the ability to absorb X-rays, and barite mortar is a mortar with a large bulk density and a barrier effect on X-rays; the barite used for radiation-proof mortar and concrete should have a BaSO4 content of not less than 80%. Barite is used to make barium cement, barite mortar, and barite concrete, which are used to replace metal lead plates to shield nuclear reactors, build scientific research, and hospital X-ray protection rooms.

Barium sulfate is used for interior and exterior wall decoration, which can effectively shield X-rays and Y-rays, and can effectively avoid the leakage of isolated rays. It is mainly used for decoration applications in dental, hospital X-ray rooms, CT rooms, and other places that require X-ray protection. Barium sulfate excavation and grinding meet the requirements of low-carbon environmental protection. The protective coating is generally composed of barium sulfate and cement. After combining in a certain proportion, it is judged that every 10mm thickness is equivalent to 1mmPb equivalent, and the corresponding thickness meets the protection requirements during construction. The defect of barium sulfate protective coating is that it is easy to crack. How to prevent cracking during construction is the key to this process.
