INTRODUCTION
• KALMATRON® KF-αβγ is a cementitious powder with dry density 2,500 Kg/m3 and wet density of 3,500 Kg/m3 designed for attenuation of α, β and γ radiation.
• Developed for deactivation of contamination and restoration of building structures radiation attenuation and for suppressing of the sources of radiation and other radioactive contamination.
• KF- αβγ is applicable as a coating, admixture to concrete mix and strewing on or into source of radiation.
APPLICATION
COATING
• After mixing of 4 parts of KF-αβγ with 1 part of water by volumes it is applicable by plaster technology with safety for cement/concrete jobs.
• Pumpable by the standard shotcrete equipment on the walls, floor, sealing, beams and columns.
ADMIXTURE
• Applicable as an admixture to the concrete mix with established dosage per cubic unit of application.
STREW
• Applicable by strewing of KF-αβγ powder in/on a source of radiation located in a hard approachable environment.
• Mix KF-αβγ powder with relic or industrial radioactive dust, sand, ash, etc. to suppress radiation.
BENEFITS
• Resistance to radiation provides gradually for any source of radiation in any phase of stage.
• Available for manufacturing of containers and wall blocks.
• Applicable in dry, damp and wet environments.
• Liquid Impermeability KF- αβγ layer provides upon request.
• The safety and sanitary requirements for handling, storage and application are the same as for any cementitious materials.
• Do not require any special conditions, uniform, equipment or skills for handling, storage and application.
• The KF- αβγ is more workable and cheapest technology for restoration of Resistance of building structures against penetration of radiation and deterioration of materials.
• Variable improving of durability.
THE ESSENTIALS OF KALMATRON® KF-αβγ
• Comparative attenuation of radiation by KF- αβγ with the same mass of application is:
- higher than concrete by 40%;
- higher than polymer-oxide compounds at 1.5 times;
- lower than solid lead at 1.35 times;
• Comparative pricing of KF- αβγ estimated with equipment and labor for the same level of radiation attenuation is:
- concrete is more expensive at 36% for the same application;
- lead is more expensive at 280% for the same of application.
- polymer based compositions are more expensive at 2 times for the same application
