Self Extinguishing Flexible Boron Sheet

Flexible boron sheets are also available in self-extinguishing property. It extinguishes by itself in absence of flame. These sheets are heat resistant, ozone resistant, lightweight synthetic polymer based containing varying concentration of Boron. Boron has a very high macroscopic cross-section for thermal neutrons. Therefore the material has an extremely good attenuation factor for thermal neutrons. Hence, it provides an excellent shield against thermal neutrons. The above sheets are available for different boron concentrations in range of 5% to 52%. The attenuation for 1.8A neutrons for 3.3mm thick sheet varies from 3 to 2800 depending on boron content.
