James Walker® has developed two ranges of Shieldseal® elastomers for use with ionising radiation. They are backed with evaluation results from specialist test houses and nuclear sector customers.

Shieldseal®600

Elastomers that resist ionising radiation. Their change in physical properties has been monitored over time with gamma radiation to prove compression-set resistance and long service life.
