Protection against gamma and neutron radiation
Maximum. Radiation safe.
Ensolma radiation protection doors comply with DIN 6834-1:2012. We use different radiation protection materials depending on the radiation conditions on site. These are in particular steel, lead sheet, lead brick, high density polyethylene (HDPE with a boron mass content of 0% to 9%), etc.
For the production of very heavy industrial radiation shielding doors (50 tons and more), we use the special concrete produced according to the "in-house" technology.
For more complete protection of medical personnel from radiation, we offer a unique automatic raising protective threshold that appears when the door is closed and covers the gap between the floor and the bottom of the door leaf (applicable only for sliding doors, hanging versions).
Furthermore, for sliding doors of the floor-supported type, the Ensolma automatic folding floor (eFF) provides both maximum protection against ionising radiation and safe passage when the door leaf is open.
Depending on the radiation environment and the type of radiation, we use different combination of radiation protection materials.
Each project is unique. All doors are manufactured exclusively to customer specifications. Therefore, protective materials and their combinations are adapted to the specific case.
Effective protection against different radiation
Depending on the radiation environment and radiation quality, we use different radiation protection materials, which can be combined with each other depending on the requirements.
Protection against X-ray radiation is usually achieved by lead inlays.
Protection against gamma radiation is usually achieved by lead inserts and the use of special concrete.
Protection against neutron radiation is usually achieved by using borided polyethylene (HDPE), which converts the neutron radiation into gamma rays, which are then neutralized by additional lead layers or concrete.
Each project is individual. Therefore, the protective materials used and their combinations are adapted to the individual case.
For particularly high radiation protection requirements
In more special radiation environments, we use heavy doors filled with special concrete to reliably neutralize neutron radiation and gamma rays.
