T&D Advanced Radiation Shielding products

Tungsten, a prized transition metal renowned for its high performance in heavy alloys, owes its acclaim primarily to its remarkable density. Despite possessing a lower relative atomic mass compared to other heavy metals like lead, tungsten boasts a density nearly twice that of lead (19.3g/cm3). This high density equips tungsten with a unique ability to effectively attenuate specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
