JC238 Flex-Boron is a flexible neutron shielding material useful for shielding irregular shapes as well as for being adhered to large straight or curved vertical surfaces. It can be cut to size with a utility knife and bent in a radius as small as 6.4mm (¼”). It can also be custom moulded to virtually any configuration; a common application being cylinders with lids for shielding detectors.

JC238 Flexi-Boron has a high boron concentration that provides a thermal neutron attenuation factor greater than X250 for the standard 1/8” (3.2 mm) thickness. It will withstand temperatures of up to 205°C (400°F) without loss of physical or nuclear properties and is self-extinguishing when exposed to flame.

Two standard sizes of Flex-Boron are available
JC238A is 305 x 610 mm (12” x 24”)
JC238B is 610 x 914 mm (24” x 36”)
Both are 3.2 mm (1/8”) thick. Other sizes and thicknesses are available
to meet your specific application requirements.
