What is Radifend?
Radifend is a patented, laminated, flexible, elastomeric system developed to protect workers in nuclear and associated industries from harmful x-ray and gamma radiation (radiation protection). It is designed to shield areas where traditional shielding materials such as lead cannot be used or are difficult to install.
