Plansee collimators are made of tungsten heavy metal alloys (Densimet® alloys). Due to the high density of the material, collimators perfectly shield from x-rays and gamma rays and therefore protect the healthy tissue during radiotherapy. Densimet® tungsten alloys are distinguished by their particularly high density. Combined with their ability to absorb radiation as well as their outstanding mechanical properties and machinability. Particular material properties: — high density of 17.0 to 18.8g/cm³ — better machinability compared to pure tungsten — high Young’s modulus and very good mechanical properties — high absorption capacity for X-rays and gamma rays — harmless to the health and environment

Shielding components made from tungsten, molybdenum and the tungsten heavy alloy Densimet® only allow radiation to pass where it is actually needed. During the generation of X-ray radiation our materials guarantee that environmental radiation exposure is kept to an absolute minimum. Plansee produces flat shielding components using an innovative, near net shape process. The result: The foils and sheets have a particularly isotrope and homogeneous microstructure free from any characteristic orientation. Possible products and applications are: — Shielding components for X-ray tubes — Shutter blades for computer tomographs — Shielding elements for detectors — Isotope containers for brachytherapy — Shielding elements for linear accelerators — Shieldings for oil and gas drilling
