Tungsten Poly Used in Medical

Think back to chemistry class. Tungsten is the W symbol on the periodic table of elements. The metal, which is similar to lead, is ground into dust and combined with various base resins. The compound is then formed into components and used in everything from X-ray machines to CT scanning devices.With the possibility of stricter standards for lead and a growing inclination for environment-friendly manufacturing, more competition may be on the horizon.
