Description of Polymer Tungsten
- The use of flexible rubber, silica gel, resin and other polymer materials in combination with shielding metal powder to manufacture metal-polymer composite materials presents several benefits.
- High shielding: The shielding performance against high-energy γ-rays exceeds that of lead and lead alloys, thereby limiting or blocking high-energy γ-rays;
- Environmental protection: Non-toxic and ecologically benign, with no environmental contamination during production and utilisation, thereby serving as a valid substitute for conventional shielding materials such as lead;
- Adjustable density: The density and shielding performance of the material can be modified in accordance with usage requirements, thereby achieving a balanced performance;
- High flexibility: The material remains soft due to the inclusion of rubber and silicone.
- Processing properties: Specific processing techniques enable the production of materials with varying thicknesses.
- Recyclability: The process is recyclable, thereby conserving resources and preserving the environment;

Applications of Polymer Tungsten
Polymer Tungsten exhibits a density advantage and is used as a counterweight material. It is employed in the Kiefer Spielzeugauto, a type of children’s toy vehicle in Western countries that operates on gravitational sliding. Polymer Tungsten is used to provide precise weight adjustment in various models. In aircraft models, the material is employed to control the aircraft’s balance weight accurately. Owing to its hydrophobic properties, it is also utilised as a fishing lead. It can be easily concealed and is suitable for use in various aquatic environments. Additionally, it is applied for radiation shielding because its high density meets the necessary requirements, thereby leading to its increasing application.
