Resistance of plastics against high energy radiation

Health and safety are priority number one in critical production environments such as nuclear power plants. Polyfluor Plastics supplies products that are specifically designed for applications in environments with extremely high pressure, steam and/or radioactivity.

There is no difference in the change of properties of plastic materials with respect to the radiation effect between Electron, X-ray and gamma radiation, but there is an indirect difference between the electrons and the gamma radiation; at the radiation an oxidative decline takes place. For the electron radiation it is many times higher than the gamma radiation, at the same dose.
