TRILLIANT™ XR
Thermoplastics for Radiation Shielding
Trilliant™ XR thermoplastic solutions provide a
radiation-shielding alternative to the use of lead
in healthcare imaging equipment.
This pure metal
replacement solution can be customized to meet
specific density requirements, formulated to meet
a broad modulus range, and engineered to meet
complex design specifications.
Because these
solutions are able to be processed using various
methods, manufacturers of complex components
could benefit from increased design flexibility,
leading to an overall improvement in total
system cost.

• Needs a small diameter strength member with specific tensile and
geometric requirements that current product was not achieving
• Requires a solution that is also black and UV resistant, as existing
aramid yarns are not available in color (coating is not acceptable
for the application due to off-gassing complications)
• Withstands extreme, prolonged thermal cycling
• Acts as a critical component for safe re-entry into earth’s
atmosphere at the end of the satellite’s life cycle
