Occupational Protection in Nuclear Industry: How do Protective Suits Serve as a Safety Barrier?
Jan. 03, 2025

Radioactive particles, seemingly mysterious and minute entities, pose a latent threat to human health and environmental safety. Originating from the decay of radioactive elements, they exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms within both natural and artificial environments.



In nature, certain regions may contain radioactive elements in rocks, soil, and water sources, which undergo spontaneous decay and release radioactive particles. In sectors such as the nuclear energy industry and medical applications, the generation of radioactive particles is more concentrated and significant.


The hazards of radioactive particles cannot be overlooked. They can penetrate human cells, causing DNA damage. Moreover, as fine dust in ionizing radiation environments, these particles possess high diffusivity. They readily adhere and migrate to open work or living areas, among others. Without effective control, they can attach to various surfaces such as clothing, footwear, and tools, potentially spreading to previously safe zones, thereby causing secondary contamination and disrupting ecological balance and human living environments. Therefore, enhancing the protection against radioactive particles is of paramount importance.


Building an Impenetrable Fortress for Occupational Protection

To prevent occupational hazards caused by radioactive particles, it is essential to focus on personal protection, workplace safety, and training and awareness enhancement. Firstly, wearing professional protective clothing, gloves, and masks is a fundamental requirement. These personal protective equipment (PPE) items effectively block the intrusion of radioactive particles, safeguarding workers from harm. Additionally, regular occupational health check-ups are indispensable for timely detection and management of potential health issues.

 

The Kingfa Medical Nuclear Power Industrial Protective Coverall is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, crafted through Kingfa's patented flash-spinning process. The fabric is breathable yet capable of blocking water-based liquids and aerosols, offering excellent protection against particles as small as 1 micron, with ultra-low linting. Both the inner and outer surfaces are treated with anti-static properties and are silicone-free. The protective suit is robust yet lightweight, with a single-piece weight of less than 170 grams. The unique fabric characteristics balance protection, durability, and comfort, while the bound-seam sewing design enhances leak-proof performance.


KINGFA Protective Coverall C580: The Perfect Blend of Safety and Comfort
Designed specifically for the nuclear power industry and high-risk radiation environments, the nuclear power protective suit offers dual protection with its exceptional protective performance and long-lasting comfort.


In terms of protective performance, the suit demonstrates impeccable professionalism. It has passed the EN 1149 anti-static test, effectively suppressing static electricity buildup and reducing the risk of sparks, making it particularly suitable for highly sensitive environments such as electronics and chemical industries. Additionally, the suit provides efficient barrier protection against radioactive particles and general industrial particulates, complying with the EN 1073-2 standard, ensuring workers are shielded from radioactive substances.


When it comes to comfort and durability, the nuclear power protective suit excels as well. It utilizes a lightweight and breathable nano-porous membrane composite fabric, ensuring a comfortable experience even during prolonged wear. The high-wear-resistance design ensures the suit remains intact even with frequent use, significantly reducing replacement costs. The suit’s thoughtful details, such as the 3D hood, inserted sleeve structure, and optimized crotch design, are all aimed at enhancing wearing comfort and freedom of movement. Moreover, the independently developed nano-porous membrane composite fabric is not only lightweight but also offers high-strength protective performance, allowing workers to enjoy both comfort and reliable protection.
