FLEXIBORE® - THERMAL NEUTRON ABSORPTION

https://www.borflex-group.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Flexibore.png

The FLEXIBORE® trademark, registered by BORFLEX® and specially developed for the nuclear industry, guarantees that the final part will absorb thermal neutrons.

Its 50% B4C composition makes scattering negligible compared to neutron absorption. FLEXIBORE® is also used in neutron spectrometry to reduce background noise.

FLEXIBORE® is very flexible and can be adapted to complex shapes. It can be folded on a small radius without breaking. It is easy to cut and the B4C powder is evenly distributed.

Flexibore is a material composed of natural rubber and B4C powder. The Flexibore sheet contains 50% of its weight in B4C. The B10 contained in the material absorbs neutrons. Scattering is negligible compared with neutron absorption. Flexibore is also used in neutron spectrometry to reduce background.

CHARACTERISTICS:

  • - High flexibility: adapts to complex shapes
  • - Folds to a small radius without breaking
  • - Uniform distribution of B4C powder
  • - Easy to cut
  • - Black colour
