2. Product Description

Barium sulfate radiation-shielding mortar, also known as barium sand, heavy spar radiation-shielding mortar, or X-ray protective mortar, is a specialized construction material specifically designed for building radiation-shielding walls, floors, and ceilings.

Its core principle lies in the high density of barium sulfate (with a specific gravity ranging from 4.2 to 4.5 g/cm³) and the heavy atoms—particularly barium—abundant in its crystal structure, which effectively block and attenuate ionizing radiation (such as X-rays and gamma rays). Compared to conventional concrete, barium sulfate mortar offers superior shielding performance at the same shielding thickness; alternatively, to meet the same shielding requirements, it can significantly reduce wall thickness, thereby saving building space.

Main features: ​

1. High density and excellent shielding performance: Containing a large amount of barium sulfate, this material has a density significantly higher than that of ordinary mortar, enabling it to effectively absorb and scatter radiation energy.

2. Easy construction: Excellent workability allows for construction using standard plastering techniques, and it bonds firmly to the underlying concrete walls.

3. Void-free and highly dense: A professionally formulated mix ensures that the mortar achieves a dense structure after setting, with no shrinkage cracks, thereby preventing radiation leakage.

4. Environmentally friendly and durable: Made primarily from natural barite ore, it is non-toxic, odorless, boasts stable performance, and has a long service life.

4. Scope of Use

Barium sulfate radiation-shielding mortar is primarily used in various building structures and engineering projects that require shielding against ionizing radiation.

Main application areas:

1. Medical Radiology Department:

● Radiology Department: X-ray Room, DR Room, CT Scan Room, Mammography Room, DSA Catheterization Room.

● Radiation Oncology Department: Linear Accelerator Treatment Room, Co60 Therapy Room, Brachytherapy Room, Gamma Knife Therapy Room.

● Nuclear Medicine Department: PET-CT Room, SPECT Room, and Iodine-131 Ward (for gamma-ray shielding).

2. Industrial Inspection and Scientific Research Fields:

● Industrial Non-Destructive Testing Room (X-ray and Gamma-Ray NDT).

● Partial shielding structures for nuclear power plants and research reactors.

● Radioactive laboratories at universities and research institutions.

3. Other special fields:

● Shielding walls around baggage security systems at airports and customs.

● Radioactive waste repository.

Construction structural part:

● Wall: Used as a substitute for part or all of concrete shielding walls, or as a protective plaster layer applied to the surface of concrete walls.

● Floor: The protective flooring in the room housing radiological equipment.

● Ceiling: The ceiling shielding layer above and below, where there are radiation sources or areas requiring protection.

● Gap filling: Used to fill gaps around shielding doors, observation windows, pipe penetrations through walls, and other similar openings, ensuring the continuity of protection.

8. Precautions for Use

Construction environment temperature: -5°C to 35°C. The water-to-cement ratio is an important performance indicator for this product. Please add water according to the manufacturer’s specified water-to-cement ratio, and use mechanical mixing equipment to ensure thorough and uniform blending before construction! If the water-to-cement ratio is improperly adjusted, it may affect the product’s performance. This product is a finished item—do not add any other substances arbitrarily, as this could compromise its functionality and quality system! If this product has expired, it should be properly disposed of rather than reused. Any leftover material that hasn’t been used up after mixing must never be mixed with fresh material for further use! When carrying out outdoor construction in rainy weather, a rain shelter must be set up. The mixed material must be used within 30 minutes; once the initial setting time has passed, the slurry will begin to set and lose its effectiveness! Once the package is opened, the contents must be used up in one go to prevent moisture absorption and clumping.
