KALMATRON® KF-αβγ
• ADMIXTURE • COATING • DRY SPRAY •
■ INTRODUCTION
KALMATRON® KF-αβγ ADMIX and KALMATRON® KF-αβγ COAT are radiation shielding materials (RSM) for Attenuation of Radiation and Liquid Impermeability. They are non-organic cementitious gray powders without odor and dry bulk density at 1,300 Kg/m3 for ADMIX and 1,500 Kg/m3 for COAT.
ADMIX is applicable as an additive to the regular concrete mixes in a range from 35 Kg /m3 to 100 Kg/m3 after evaluation of required level of Radiation Attenuation. Being added into concrete mix ADMIX provides following concrete properties.
- Workability and pumpability without Superplasticizer.
- Adhesion to applied surface without Hardening Accelerators and Water Reducers.
- Immediate performance of Radiation Attenuation after application.
- Impermeability to any Liquids after 4 hours of application.
ADMIX is applicable as a premix to dry cementitious mixes to be dispensed, strewn, or sprayed in a dry form onto/into the source of Radioactive Contamination (RC). RC could be localized Primordial Radiation, Industrial Waste, damaged or abandoned Nuclear Facilities, etc.
COAT is applicable after mixing of KF-αβγ COAT powder with water till consistency of the plaster placement by the manual or shotcrete technologies with thickness of layer established after evaluation of required level of Radiation Attenuation. Provides properties of protective coating by:
- Adhesion to applied surfaces.
- Immediate performance of Radiation Attenuation after application.
- Impermeability to any Liquids after 4 hours of application.
■ BENEFITS
- Storage, Handling and Application do not require special uniforms, protective devices and special skills.
- Radiation Shielding by KF-αβγ is easy reparable and replaceable in a case of damages.
- We produce various compositions of KF-αβγ and design of technologies for the different levels of
Radiation Protection and environmental situations.
■ THE ESSENTIALS OF KALMATRON KF-αβγ

- Concrete by __________________________40%
- Polymer-oxides based compounds by ____27%
But lower than solid lead by ____________1.25 times
• Comparative cost of KF-αβγ with other products estimated for the same level of radiation, type of
application, equipment and labor is less expensive than:
- Polymer-oxides by ___200%
