MIAMI, July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RST, a global leader in advanced
radiation protection solutions, proudly announces the enhanced
capabilities of its Demron product line in shielding against
cobalt-60 (Co-60) gamma radiation. This breakthrough addresses the
critical need for effective radiation protection in medical,
industrial, and nuclear environments.
The Republic of Korea Army, (ROKA) commissioned testing of the
Demron fabric in preparation for an upcoming purchase. ROKA engaged
a renowned Korean testing facility to perform attenuation testing
against high-energy gamma Co-60 and high energy beta Sr-90
radiation. The result was one layer of Demron fabric was able
to reduce Co-60 emissions by 26.7% and high energy beta emissions
Sr-90 by 91.6%.

Demron a unique, water- and gas-tight polymer composite composed
of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and inorganic salts
of high-atomic-number elements. The material's innovative design
ensures flexibility and comfort, making it suitable for a wide
range of applications. The fabric is effective in shielding against
Co-60 Gamma Radiation Cobalt-60 which is widely used in medical
radiotherapy, industrial radiography, and sterilization processes
due to its potent gamma radiation emissions. These gamma rays pose
significant health risks, including cancer, if adequate shielding
is not employed.
Demron's advanced composite structure effectively reduces gamma
radiation, providing comprehensive protection for users. Recent
studies and measurements have demonstrated Demron's superior
shielding properties. Continuous testing has confirmed that Demron
significantly reduces the penetration of gamma rays, thereby
lowering the effective dose received by users.
RST products are essential for personnel working in environments
with high levels of gamma radiation, such as Medical Facilities,
Industrial Sites, Nuclear Power Plants and the Military.
Although PPE may call themselves CBRN if it does not say Demron,
it's not anti nuclear.
Radiation Shield Technologies (RST) is a leading innovator in
radiation protection solutions, dedicated to advancing safety
standards in various industries since 2001. With a focus on
research and development, RST continuously strives to provide
cutting-edge products that meet the highest safety and performance
standards.
Despite the term CBRN, there is no effective attenuation against
Gamma-rays and high-energy beta radiation. If your PPE does not say
Demron, it is not blocking ionizing radiation.
