Collaboration enhances radiation shielding with lead-free, non-toxic solutions

Rochester, NY: Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation (“Arnold”), a subsidiary of Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) and leading global manufacturer of high-performance magnets and precision components, highlights its partnership with Artemis Shielding, a pioneer in developing innovative, lead-free radiation shielding solutions. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in providing safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly radiation protection across multiple industries.

Arnold supplies its advanced Flexible Composites and Extrusions to Artemis Shielding, which incorporates them into cutting-edge, lead-free, and non-toxic radiation shielding products. This partnership leverages Arnold’s expertise in material science and Artemis’ innovative technology to create superior radiation shielding solutions. Arnold provides Enhanced Functional Alloy (EFA) Shielding, resulting in products that are not only more effective but also safer for both users and the environment. The collaboration combines Arnold’s high-quality flexible magnetic materials with Artemis’ innovative approach to produce state-of-the-art radiation protection solutions that address modern safety and environmental concerns.

Artemis Shielding products offer a superior alternative to traditional lead-based radiation protection. These innovative solutions are lead-free, non-toxic, and more durable than their conventional counterparts, making them an obvious choice for radiation shielding needs. While radiation poses significant risks, the lead typically used for protection introduces its own set of dangers. Recognizing this dual threat, Artemis Shielding has made it their mission to safeguard both people and the environment from the hazards associated with lead and radiation exposure.

Installation of Artemis Shielding Materials is fast, clean, and safe compared to lead-based products, which offer several obstacles. The material is lightweight, easy-to-handle, and requires no special personal protective equipment for installers. Arnold’s Flexible Composites and Extrusions enable Artemis to create shielding solutions that are significantly easier to install compared to conventional lead-based products.

Artemis Shielding protects people and the world through their proven, lead-free and non-toxic radiation shielding products and solutions. From the International Space Station (ISS) to airports, NDT facilities, and medical centers, Artemis Shielding solutions have made an impact across the globe. They are committed to delivering safe, sustainable products for customers, employees, and the environment. Artemis is also included in applications in SCIF rooms, ensuring secure environments with advanced radiation shielding solutions.

Arnold’s partnership with Artemis Shielding brings innovative, safe, and effective radiation shielding solutions to market. This collaboration aligns perfectly with Arnold’s commitment to developing advanced materials that contribute to a safer and more sustainable future across industries. These products are not magnetic and are customized solutions for lead replacement needs across a variety of industries, including Nuclear, Medical, Testing Facilities, Security, and Aerospace.

All products developed through this partnership are 100% recyclable, Prop 65 compliant, and ROHS compliant, emphasizing both companies’ commitment to sustainability. This collaboration between Arnold and Artemis represents a significant advancement in radiation shielding technology, offering customers across multiple industries access to safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible protection solutions.

Marietta, OH: Magnetic and magnetic-receptive materials are well suited for display and point of purchase applications like menus and promotional signs, anything where messaging may change on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The ease of change out is appealing especially to retail workers with little to no experience handling signage.

Magnets come in various thicknesses. Over the years, “thin” materials have become popular. For the purposes of this article, we define thin magnetic material as anything around 7- to 17-mil or 0.007 to 0.017 inches thick.

What’s the Buzz?

Thin magnetic material is developed and used by a number of different industries. For printing, one of the reasons “thin is in” is because it runs better on printer hardware compared to its thicker gauge counterparts.

According to Stephen McLevey, business development and Flexmag commercial manager, Arnold Magnetic Technologies, the print industry is driving demand. “The material needs to be thinner and lighter so that it can be processed on the printers used in today’s marketplace.”

Debunking Myths

A common misconception is that the thicker the magnet, the more powerful the attraction. Weary of using thinner magnetic material because of this? You shouldn’t be.

“The statement is true as long as the material is of the same grade. We are able to produce a stronger, thinner magnet by using higher energy materials,” says McLevey.

Thin Benefits

Advantages of thin magnetic materials center around weight. This makes it easier to load the media into printer. Another point to consider, lighter weight options reduce shipping costs.

Thinner magnets also conform better to curved and uneven surfaces compared to thicker options, suggests McLevey. This makes thinner gauge magnets useful for vehicle graphics.

Final Thoughts

Thinner gauge magnets are not your traditional materials. Lighter weight magnetic and magnetic receptive substrates with equal – if not more – energy are designed for today’s printers.

This webinar highlights how flexible composite sheeting solves EM and RF interference issues.

As power electronics and controls become more sophisticated, there is a need to shield these devices from external fields as well as reduce their radiated fields. External sources can produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), which can damage control systems with electromagnetic induction, electrostatic coupling, or conduction.

This 30-minute Webinar examines high permeability materials that can be used to shield an electronic device and prevent unexpected interference. It discusses how the materials are manufactured and looks at characterizing them to ensure they are a proper fit for an application.
