Nuclear Sealants & Protection

What are Nuclear Sealants?

Nuclear sealants are specialized sealing materials for nuclear applications. They are engineered for use in the most demanding nuclear environments, where the need for radiation resistant sealing materials and robust nuclear containment sealing is critical. These sealants protect against leaks of radiation, chemicals, and gases, and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, high radiation doses, and the challenging conditions found in modern nuclear facilities.

Why Are Radiation Resistant Sealing Materials Important?

Nuclear facilities must adhere to the highest safety and containment standards. Using advanced sealing materials for nuclear applications helps sustain regulatory compliance, prevents leaks, and protects both people and the environment from radiation exposure. These solutions contribute to reliable operation and reduced maintenance by providing long-term nuclear containment sealing and chemical resistance.

Types of Sealing Materials & Sealants for Nuclear Facilities

Huron Industries offers a full range of radiation resistant sealing materials and seals for radiation-resistant environments, tailored for every critical need in the nuclear sector:

• Radiation-Resistant Sealants: Prevent the escape of radiation in sensitive and high-risk zones.

• High-Temperature Thread Sealants: Designed for pipes and threaded connections exposed to extreme heat.

• Silicone-Free Nuclear Sealants: Used in critical containment areas where silicone contamination is unacceptable.

• Reactor Protection Sealants: Engineered for robust nuclear containment sealing against heat, radiation, and high pressure inside reactor cores and primary boundaries.

• Neolube Sealants: Provide long-lasting protection even in the harshest environments, with proven results in both nuclear and defense applications.

• Naval Reactor Lubricants: Lubricants and sealants for naval nuclear environments with enhanced protection against radiation and extreme stress.

Each of these seals for radiation-resistant environments is formulated to last for decades, minimizing downtime and critical risks.

Where Are Our Nuclear Containment Sealing Products Used?

Our sealing materials are trusted across key areas in nuclear facilities, including:

• Power Plants: For primary and secondary nuclear containment sealing and system integrity.

• Fuel Storage: Isolating radioactive fuel from environmental contaminants.

• Containment Systems: Critical for structural safety and preventing radiation escapes.

• Maintenance Projects: Reliable sealing materials for nuclear applications for both scheduled restorations and urgent repairs.

Benefits of Radiation Resistant Sealing Materials

Using high-quality radiation resistant sealing materials in nuclear applications offers several advantages:

• Exceptional Heat Resistance: Maintains integrity at extremely high temperatures.

• Outstanding Radiation Protection: Blocks radiation leaks, preserving safety for staff and the environment.

• Fire and Chemical Resistance: Some sealants provide added fire protection and withstand aggressive chemicals found in plants.

• Long-Lasting Durability: Designed for decades of protection in the harshest environments.

• Versatile Application: Great for nuclear containment sealing in both new builds and maintenance.

How Sealants Help Protect Cooling Systems

Reliable seals for radiation-resistant environments are essential for cooling system protection. By preventing leaks in reactor cooling circuits, our cooling system protection solutions help maintain safe core temperatures and reactor efficiency, reducing the risk of overheating or system failures.

Extended Life Reactor Lubricants & Sealants

Alongside sealants, extended-life reactor lubricants are crucial for reducing component wear and ensuring continuous safe operation. When combined with Huron’s radiation-resistant sealants, they maximize equipment life, minimize downtime, and support reactor safety and performance.
