Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits.  In addition, excellent dispersion of the metallic filler eliminated “hot spots” where radiation could leak out. In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.

Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs. In addition, the size required for an efficient metal heat sink may create design challenges that adversely affect nearby electronic components. And remember that polymers can offer a way to achieve lighter weight and improved design capabilities in addition to managing heat.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,¹ the U.S. It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed.  These panels successfully encapsulate the bullet, preventing harmful ricochets and providing additional safety to the warfighter.
