Two black surface options
Choose high-abrasion vinyl film (VBK) or fabric coating (FBK), according to wear pattern, contact conditions and scanner maintenance requirements.

01 / PRODUCT INSIGHT
From material to application.
BaseShield, ProShield and UltraShield are three lead-free curtain families for security scanners. The choice combines tube-voltage range, hanging weight and surface construction, with OEM cutting and printing options.
Continuous baggage and parcel flow
Lower hanging mass can assist passage, but return motion and overlap remain important. The brochure reports over five million bag passes; confirm the test load and acceptance criteria before specifying durability.
OEM supply formats
Available as large rolls, pre-cut complete sets or individual strips, with custom printing. Listed maximum width is 1200 mm and temperature range is −40 to 70 °C.
02 / TECHNICAL DATA
Models, values and their conditions.
Transcribed from manufacturer literature, with source references and conditions kept alongside each table.
| Series | Listed tube voltage | Weight at 0.35 mmPb (kg/m²) | Catalog positioning |
|---|---|---|---|
| BaseShield | ≤160 kV | 7–8 | Cost-effective |
| ProShield | ≤120 kV | 6.3–6.6 | General-purpose |
| UltraShield | ≤160 kV | 4.3–4.5 | Lightweight |
Voltage-to-series mapping follows the original table columns. Common listed grades: 0.35 / 0.5 / 0.6 / 1.0 mmPb; customization range: 0.125–2.0 mmPb. Confirm the selected formulation and test conditions.

04 / SELECTION QUESTIONS
A closer look at your specification.
Which series is listed for 120 kV and 160 kV?
The brochure lists ProShield at ≤120 kV and BaseShield and UltraShield at ≤160 kV. These are series-specific entries, not an interchangeable rating for every curtain construction.
Are lighter curtains automatically better for every scanner?
No. Balance hanging mass with the required shielding, strip geometry, wear and return behavior, then test the installed assembly under representative scanning conditions.
