Radiation Protection
Xenolite™ - Lightweight Radiation Protection Garments
|
|
Xenolite™ is a unique polymer based composite material developed by DuPont specially designed to offer full radiation protection with up to 30% reduction in weight.
Xenolite™ greatly relieves back and shoulder stress when radiation protective garments must be worn for long periods of time. Very flexible and durable, with styles that offer maximum support at various stress points, Xenolite™ garments are the ultimate in comfortable wear.
Xenolite™ is the most environmentally friendly protective material available, because it is 100% recyclable, removing disposal problems
Xenolite™NL “No Lead”. The latest development of Xenolite™ technology is a composite material that has zero lead content, but still maintains the protective qualities of Xenolite. Being even lighter than Xenolite, the new Xenolite™NL brings increased comfort to the wearer. In addition, as there are no hazardous components in Xenolite™NL, when it is necessary for them to be replaced, they can be treated as regular waste.
Xenolite™ garments come in a variety of styles and colours. The current range, which is available in Xenolite or Xenolite NL includes
Vest/Skirt Aprons:
- Original design

There have been a number of scientific papers written about Xenolite's™ innovative weight saving technology. It has been tested and approved by government and private testing agencies in over 10 countries. The Xenolite NL products conform to the stringent world standard IEC 61331-1 (both 80 kV and 100 kV). They remain the lightest-weight x-ray aprons in the world offering full protection (mm Pb) even when subjected to more penetrating filtered beams at high kV’s.
In addition to all of the technical benefits of Xenolite™, the following features are also offered:
- Shoulder pads are included in garments.
