INDUSTRY NUCLEAR WATERTIGHTNESS, COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS, SAFETY Home Industries Nuclear NUCLEARINDUSTRY BORFLEX® is the French and European leader in technical rubber parts and is a creator and producer of elastomer solutions for the main players in the nuclear energy industry. BORFLEX® is the supplier of choice for major contractors and all those involved in new construction and maintenance. BORFLEX® manufactures, in particular for the nuclear energy industry, mechanical parts and precision assemblies in all types of metals and alloys, and also in many types of plastics (such as PVC, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, etc.). The BORFLEX® Group designs and manufactures all types of rubber and PU molds, as well as rolled threads, and can supply custom-made elastomer seals and parts on request. BORFLEX® is capable of working in zones 1 to 4. (4 being the most exposed to radiation) BORFLEX® EXPERTISE BORFLEX® stands out thanks to its expertise, mainly in the following areas - Radiation resistant elastomers Which guarantee the watertightness of the working chamber · Seals for swimming pools (cofferdam seals) · Radiation protection (Flexibore) · Sensitive sealing applications · Protective bellows FLEXIBORE® - THERMAL NEUTRON ABSORPTION The FLEXIBORE® brand, registered by BORFLEX® and specially developed for the nuclear energy industry, guarantees that the final part will absorb thermal neutrons. Its 50% B4C composition makes scattering negligible compared to neutron absorption. FLEXIBORE® is also used in neutron spectrometry to reduce background noise. FLEXIBORE® is very flexible and can be adapted to complex shapes. It can be folded on a small radius without breaking. It is easy to cut and the B4C powder is evenly distributed. Flexibore is a material composed of natural rubber and B4C powder. Fifty percent of the weight of Flexibore plate is B4C. The B10 in the material absorbs neutrons. Scattering is negligible compared to neutron absorption. Flexibore is also used in neutron spectrometry to reduce background noise. CHARACTERISTICS: - High flexibility: adapts to complex shapes - Folds to a small radius without breaking - Uniform distribution of B4C powder - Easy to cut - Black colour Design BORFLEX®, in addition to the products in its catalogue, has dedicated design offices that design and develop innovative solutions. Formulation & Mixing BORFLEX® has designed and developed several thousand elastomer formulations to meet the requirements of its converting customers. Extrusion & Pultrusion BORFLEX® produces extruded water, air and noise seals as well as pultruded fibreglass profiles to meet your construction, protection and insulation needs. Moulding BORFLEX® is at your disposal for the design and manufacture of rubber and polyurethane moulded parts by injection, compression or unit transfer.
