Souplethane 5 N : Radiation-resistant decontaminable resin for nuclear facilities

Souplethane 5 N resin is a two-component, solvent-free resin specially developed to meet the waterproofing, corrosion protection, and coating needs of nuclear facilities. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, this resin creates a decontaminable liquid membrane capable of withstanding nuclear radiation up to 10 MGray. It can be applied manually with a brush or roller, or by spraying with an airless machine, offering flexibility of use depending on the site's needs. 

Areas of application Souplethane

5 N resin is suitable for various substrates (concrete, metal, etc.) and is suitable for the following applications in nuclear facilities: 

  • Waterproofing of radioactive effluent storage basins: provides durable and resistant protection against infiltration. 
  • Wastewater treatment plants and chemical retention areas: ideal for areas requiring resistance to chemical agents. 
  • Radioactive walls, ceilings, and containers: protects surfaces exposed to radiation and contamination. 
  • Silos, hoppers, and tanks: a reliable solution for structures requiring enhanced waterproofing and corrosion protection. 
  • Radioactive premises remediation: allows for easy cleaning and rapid decontamination to maintain a safe working environment. 

Key Benefits of Souplethane 5 N

  •  Decontaminable (CEA Class 1-4): facilitates cleaning and remediation in radioactive environments. 
  • Nuclear radiation resistance: protects surfaces up to 10 MGray, an essential performance in nuclear environments. 
  • High adhesion: 4 MPa on concrete substrates, ensuring reliable durability and protection. 
  • Crack tolerance: crack bridging up to 5 mm for increased resistance on damaged surfaces. 
  • Thermal and hydrolysis resistance: withstands thermal shocks up to 90°C, an essential quality for applications in harsh environments. 
  • Solvent-free, BPA-free, and odorless: a safe and environmentally friendly formulation. 
  • Compressive strength: >110 MPa, ensuring strength against mechanical loads and structural stresses. 
  • Ease of application: direct application by roller, brush, or spray, allowing for rapid implementation without chalking.
