INTRODUCTION
KALMATRON® KF-αβγ is a cementitious powder designed for attenuation of α, β and γ radiation.
KF-αβγ dry density is 2,500 Kg/m3, wet density is 3,500 Kg/m3. KF-αβγ deactivates contamination, restores building structures, attenuates radiation and supresses sources of radiation and other radioactive contamination. KF-αβγ can be applied as a coating, as an admixture to the concrete mix, or it can be strewn onto or into the source of radiation.
APPLICATION
COATING
• After mixing 4 parts KF-αβγ with 1 part water by volume it is applicable by plaster technology. Safe for cement/concrete jobs.
• Easily pumpable with standard shotcrete equipment for application on walls, floors, ceilings, beams and columns.
ADMIXTURE
• Applicable as an admixture to the concrete mix with established dosage per cubic unit of application.
STREWING
• KF-αβγ powder can be strewn directly in/onto sources of radiation located in unapproachable
environments.
• Mix KF-αβγ powder with relic or industrial radioactive dust, sand, ash, etc. to suppress radiation.
BENEFITS
•
KF-αβγ gradually provides resistance to any source of radiation in any phase or stage.
•KF-αβγ can be used for manufacturing containers and wall blocks.
•Applicable in dry, damp and wet environments.
•Liquid Impermeability KF-αβγ layer is provided upon request.
• The safety and sanitary requirements for handling, storage and application are the same as for
any cementitious materials.
• KF-αβγ does not require special uniforms, equipment or skills for handling, storage and
application.
•KF-αβγ is more workable and is the cheapest technology for restoring building structure resistance to radiation penetration and deterioration of materials.
• Variable improvement of durability.
THE ESSENTIALS OF KALMATRON® KF-αβγ
• With the same mass of application as concrete, KF-αβγ resistance to radiation is:
- higher than concrete by 40%;
- 1.5 times higher than polymer-oxide compounds;
- 1.35 times lower than solid lead;
• Comparative pricing of KF-αβγ estimated with equipment and labor for the same level of radiation
attenuation is:
- 36% less expensive than concrete used for the same application.
- lead is 280% more expensive for the same application.
- polymer based compositions are twice as expensive for the same application.
