Shielding Barium Sulfate sand is a specialized high-density radiation shielding material that plays a vital role in constructing protective structures for nuclear medicine, industrial radiography, nuclear power plants, and research laboratories. Its shielding principle is based on the physical law that a material's attenuation of radiation (particularly X-rays and gamma rays) is proportional to its density and the atomic number of its constituents. Barium Sulfate, containing high-atomic-number barium and having an overall density much higher than ordinary sand, effectively absorbs and scatters photons through mechanisms like the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering, thereby significantly reducing radiation intensity. In practice, Barium Sulfate sand, aggregates, or powder are mixed with cement and water in specific proportions to pour Barium Sulfate concrete or mortar. This is used to construct walls, floors, and ceilings for radiology diagnostic rooms, CT scan rooms, and radiation therapy rooms. This heavy concrete offers excellent shielding performance and, compared to traditional lead sheets, provides advantages such as lower cost, more flexible construction (can be poured into any shape), strong structural integrity, and no toxicity concerns. Our product guarantees high specific gravity and compositional uniformity, offering engineers and architects a reliable, economical, and efficient solution for effective radiation dose management and ensuring absolute safety for personnel and the environment.
