Description

PROTECTION BARRIER AGAINST IONIZING RAYS OF THE γ TYPE
AND/OR X-RAYS
The present invention relates to a protecting barrier against ionizing rays of the γ type and/or X- rays , comprising a flexible sheet in which particles of an agent absorbing said rays are dispersed.
Clothes and accessories protecting against X- rays are known from U.S. patent 3,883,749.
These clothes and accessories are made of a polymeric material having a thickness comprised between 125 and 625 microns and containing from 10 to 45 % by weight of a X-ray absorbing agent selected among uranium dioxide, lead oxide and the mixtures thereof. This polymeric material is coated on both sides with a thin layer of polymeric material, these layers being not loaded with an absorbing agent.
These clothes and accessories according to U.S. patent 3,883,749 have several disadvantages, such as the following :
the use of lead oxide which is toxic ;
the toxicity due to the lead needs the use of unloaded layers of polymeric material on both sides of the layer loaded with lead ; the toxicity due to the lead imposes additional investment for the manufacturer of such clothes and accessories in order to comply with the regulations relating to work saf ty -or to the environmental protection, and
- a high cost.
An object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks.
The barrier of the type described in the first paragraph of the present specification is essentially characterized in that the absorbing agent is selected among the bismuth and the oxides, hydroxide and salts of bismuth. This agent is, preferably, the bismuth oxide and has a particle size lower than 40 microns, preferably lower than 10 microns and particularly lower than 5 microns .
According to a feature of the protection barrier according to the invention, the flexible sheet contains from 30 to 80 % by weight of absorbing agent and is made of a polymeric material and, preferably, of a polyethylene having a density near to about 0.91.
Other features and details of the invention will appear from the following detailed description in which reference is made to the single figure of attached drawing which is a cross section of a part of* a protection barrier according to the invention.
In this single figure, a protection barrier designated generally by the reference 1, comprises a single flexible sheet 2 wherein particles 3 of an agent absorbing the ionizing rays of the § and/or X type are dispersed, this agent being selected among the bismuth and the oxides, hydroxide and salts of bismuth.
Due to the use of bismuth or of one of its oxides, hydroxide or salts, it is no more necessary to cover the protection barrier 1 with a layer intended to avoid the contact of a user with the absorbing agent, since the bismuth, its oxides, hydroxide and salts do not have the toxic character of the lead compounds.
The flexible sheet 2 is made of a polymeric material such as rubber, silicone, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. This sheet is preferably made of polyethylene and particularly of very low density linear polyethylene, so that this sheet has also an excellent absorption with respect to the neutrons .
This sheet 2 may contain from 30 to 80 % by weight of particles of bismuth , bismuth oxides, bismuth hydroxide or bismuth salts. Proportions of absorbing agent particles of more than 60 % by weight are possible, due to the use of particles having a particle size lower than 10 microns and preferably lower than 5 microns. Such a particle size may be obtained by micronizing or disintegration.
The particles of bismuth-containing absorbing agent may advantageously be coated with a silicone, such as poly ethylsiloxane, this coating causing a better mechanical binding between these particles and the polymeric material.
Moreover, the use of particles having a particle size lower than 10 microns and, preferably, lower than 5 microns allows to obtain a flexible sheet 2, for example a sheet of polyethylene having a density equal to 0.906, loaded with 70 % by weight- which is homogeneous and which does not have surface irregularities.
Due to this homogeneous distribution of absorbing agent particles, the user has the benefit of an identical protection against the γ rays and/or the X- rays along the entire surface of the flexible sheet 2.
The thickness and the content of absorbing agent of the protection barrier against the ionizing rays of the γ type or X-rays , this barrier having the form of a flexible sheet, may vary according to the applications, the aimed protection factor, as well as in function of the intensity of the ionizing rays.
Thus, for example, for an operative field, the thickness may vary between 80 and 500 microns while, for gloves of surgeons or radiologists, it may vary between 80 and 300 microns and is preferably of about 200 microns.
For fine working, gloves having a thickness comprised between 80 and 130 microns are preferably used, since they take the exact shape of the hands of the practitioner.
For aprons or overalls, the thickness may be greater than 500 microns.
Other features of the protection barrier according to the invention will appear from the following tests
TESTS- 1
The following table I gives the percentage by weight of the heavy element such as the bismuth and the lead which allows the absorption of ionizing rays of the γ type and/or X-rays, for various absorbing agents.

Figure imgf000007_0001
This table I shows clearly that the bismuth oxide and the bismuth hydroxide contain substancially as much heavy elements able to absorb the γ and/or X- rays than the lead oxides. However, the bismuth derivatives have not the drawbacks in respect to pollution or to xicity that the lead derivatives have.
TESTS 2
These tests have been made in order to compare the absorption of a protection barrier according to the invention and that of a protection barrier 0 containing lead for different radiations.
The protection barriers according to the invention were constituted of a flexible sheet of very low density polyethylene, in which bismuth oxide was -ι_5 dispersed. The polyethylene had a density of 0.906 and the bismuth oxide had a particle size lower than 5 microns and a purity of about 99.5 %.
These protection barriers were compared to a 20 commercial protection barrier used for the manufacture of gloves intended for medical applications . This lat¬ ter protection barrier has a thickness of about 505 microns and is made of three layers, i.e. one layer containing lead or a lead derivative and two layers 25 covering the lead-containing layer , so as to avoid toxicity or medical problems .
These different barriers were submitted to primary X-rays, i.e. the rays emitted directly from a 30 tube.
The following table II gives the different results of absorption of the protection barriers. TABLE II
Figure imgf000009_0001
This table II shows clearly that it is possible to obtain an absorption identical to that of a known commercial protection barrier, when using a protection' barrier according to the invention, having a 5 thickness which is equal to the half of that of the commercial product.
In spite of the fact that the protection barrier has a small thickness, this high absorption ;LQ level is possible by the use of absorbing agent particles having a particle size lower than 5 microns. Such a particle size allows to obtain a homogeneous material and allows to load the polyethylene with particles up to a percentage of 80 % by weight.

TESTS 3
Tests have been made with the same protection barriers than those used in tests 2 for determining the o static and dynamic friction coefficient of these different protection barriers .
The following table III gives the values of these friction coefficients : 5 TABLE III
Figure imgf000011_0001
This table III shows the surprising benefic effect of the bismuth oxide on the friction coefficient, the addition of this absorbing agent allowing a decrease of the friction coefficient of polyethylene.
Due to this low friction coefficient, it is not necessary to put a product such as talc between two flexible sheets according to the invention for removing easily these sheets from each other.
Thus , this low friction coefficient allows to avoid the introduction of talc or another similar material in gloves so as to allow the user to pull on them easily. This allows also to avoid the problems of allergy due to the talc.
TESTS 4
These tests were made on the protection barriers used in the tests 3, in order to determine mechanical properties of the protection barrier according to the invention.
In these tests the tensile strength and the elongation at rupture of different protection barriers have been measured. The results of these tests are given in the following table IV : TABLE IV
material elongation at rupture
polyethylene 812
polyethylene loaded with
30 % of
Bi203 833
polyethylene loaded with 60 % of Bi203 781
polyethylene loaded with 742 70 % of 749 Bi203 691
Figure imgf000013_0001
The table IV shows that the use of particles of absorbing agent possibly covered with silane, having a particle size lower than 5 microns, allows the flexible sheet to keep good mechanical properties even if this sheet is loaded with more than 70 % by weight of Bi203. Due to the excellent mechanical properties of the protection barrier according to the invention, the use of outside layers unloaded with absorbing agents and intended to reinforce the structure of the barrier is useless.
The protection barrier against ionizing rays of the γ type or/and X-rays according to the invention can be used for the manufacture of clothes or parts of clothes such as gloves mufflers, mittens, finger¬ stalls, aprons, bibs, caps, cowls, boots, overalls and the like or for the manufacture of surgical operative fields.
The protection barrier according to the invention can be easily producted by using, for example, an extruder or an injection equipment. For example, the extruder may comprise two screws for extruding said protection barrier. These screws are, moreover, useful for mixing the polymer and the bismuth-containing absor¬ bing agent, so as to obtain an homogeneous blend.
The protection barrier according to the invention, which may be produced at low price, since the process for the manufacture thereof is very simple, the flexible sheet having not to be covered with protecting sheets, allows the manufacture of goods such as gloves, which are disposable after use.
This gives to the medical profession ' a higher degree of safety, since, after each surgical operation, the gloves according to the invention may be disposed of. Commercially known gloves must, on the contrary, be used and disinfected several times, due to their very high cost.
