Gammex 457 Solid Water ® mimics the absorption characteristics of water more closely and over a wider range of energies
than any other product. Solid Water ® makes radiation beam calibration easier than ever and is specifically designed for
photon and electron beam measurements. Solid Water® is perfect for achieving calibrations within 1% of the true water
dose and additional uses include relative ionization calibration, depth dose measurements and absolute calibrations.
Gammex Solid Water® scatters and attenuates radiation in the same way as water, and can be easily machined
to accommodate custom applications. Solid Water ® does not adhere to surfaces or other slabs, and the rigid construction
eliminates broken ion chambers. Slabs are carefully molded and accurately machined into standard dimensions and
customized phantoms per customer request. Gammex also has the ability to provide ion cavities in slabs of 2.0 cm
thickness or greater to accommodate most commercially available ion chambers found in the field. Solid Water® is
available in 20x20 cm, 30x30 cm, and 40x40 cm slabs. Thicknesses range from 0.2 to 6.0 cm.
