Medical tungsten radiation shielding material is a class of radiation protective material that has high radiation shielding performance and environmental protection characteristics. There are two type of medical tungsten radiation shielding materials - tungsten alloy materials and tungsten polymer materials. And they are the first choice materials for manufacturing medical radiation shields for different applications.

Tungsten alloy is mainly composed of more than 90% tungsten powder, adding with other metal powders such as nickel, iron and copper powder. Tungsten alloy is suitable for the production of high-hardness radiation shielding, such as collimators, multi-leaf collimators, syringe protective sleeves, radiation doors for CT rooms, tungsten alloy tubes and sheets for CT scanners, tungsten alloy pots and boxes and other radioactive containers, etc.
Tungsten polymer includes at least 50% by weight of tungsten powdered tungsten mixed with polymer and has a density substantially equivalent to that of lead. Tungsten polymer is suitable for the fabrication of medical radiation protection materials that require flexibility, such as radiation protection suits, radiation protection caps, radiation protection gloves, and radiation protection curtains for CT scanners, etc.
