현재 방사능 차폐재로 사용되는 납(Lead)은 독성 물질로 구분되어있으며, OECD 국가에서는 모든 건물과 구조물에서 납을 제거시키도록 법제화되어 있습니다. 납으로 차폐시공시 장기간이 되면 시공부위에서 연질의 무거운 납판이 떨어져 방사선이 유출되기도 합니다. 또한 납을 시공하면 마감공정 으로 석고보드, 벽돌등 벽 공사가 필요합니다. Lafarge에서 공급하는 GIB X-block lead-free는 방사선 차폐는 물론, 별도의 벽 공사없이 구조 물로서의 기능에도 매우 많은 장점이 있습니다. X-Block board Lead-free 미래에 친환경적인 병원을 설계하는데 방사선 차폐재로서 사용자나 환자에게 무해한 환경을 제공하는데 기여될 것 입니다.
Applications
GIB X-Block® is a lead free plasterboard system used as an effective radiation barrier. Barium Sulphate in the GIB X-Block plasterboard and compound provide protection against X-rays. X-ray shielding requirements are usually specified as a thickness of lead. The lead equivalence of GIB X-Block systems depend on the energy level of the radiation. Always seek advice from a Health Physicist to ensure that the requirements for radiation shielding are met. This section contains radiation test results, shielding requirements systems, installation instructions and construction details for GIB X-Block systems.
