Intech Partners, LLC is proudly celebrating over 20 years of excellence in delivering world-class radiation shielding solutions that ensure safety in airports worldwide. Based in Houston, Texas, Intech has grown from an innovative start-up in 2003 to an established global leader known for its dedication to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. As the company reaches this milestone anniversary, Intech reflects on its journey, one characterized by industry firsts, rigorous standards, and a steadfast commitment to radiation protection.
Intech was founded on a vision to provide safer, lead-free, and non-toxic x-ray shielding solutions. The company's debut product was a pioneering curtain shield for x-ray scanners in the food industry—an industry-first design that not only complied with FDA guidelines for direct food contact but also addressed environmental and health concerns by eliminating lead. This achievement set the stage for Intech’s growth across sectors, with its technology now protecting individuals and goods in a wide range of industries, including airports, healthcare, and various industrial applications.
Today, Intech supplies a comprehensive selection of x-ray shielding solutions through its online portal, XrayCurtains.com. This platform serves customers worldwide, offering them the convenience of purchasing exactly what they need, with the flexibility of fully customizable products and efficient delivery options. As the airport industry continues to demand reliable, durable, and safe radiation shielding solutions, Intech is proud to deliver the highest level of protection while meeting evolving regulatory and operational standards.
Commitment to Quality, Compliance, and Customization
Intech’s growth and success over the past two decades can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and adherence to rigorous safety standards. Each of its products is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that it meets and often exceeds industry standards. From large cargo scanners to small checkpoint and baggage scanners, Intech’s radiation shielding curtains are built to withstand daily use in high-traffic environments, providing essential protection to both personnel and travelers alike.
Moreover, Intech s’ commitment to customization sets it apart from others in the industry. Recognizing that each client’s needs and scanner configurations are unique, the company works closely with its customers to design and deliver tailored solutions that align perfectly with their security scanner applications. This customization is not just about precise fitting; it also extends to offering a choice between lead and lead-free options, ensuring that customers have access to the safest and most environmentally friendly materials available.
“Our goal is not only to supply radiation shielding solutions but to set a standard in quality, compliance, and customization,” explains Robert Miller of Intech. “Each project we undertake is tailored to the airport scanners our clients operate, and we’re here to provide them with trusted, top-tier protection. We stand by our products, and our clients can rely on us to support their shielding needs quickly, reliably, and safely. We supply replacement curtains to customers worldwide, including everything from common Smiths Hi-Scan models to systems L-3 SDS, Voti, Rapiscan and Autoclear, ”
A Diverse Range of X-Ray Curtains for Airport Security Needs
Intech offers a comprehensive range of radiation shielding products specifically designed for the airport industry. Each product is engineered to address unique aspects of airport security, from baggage screening to high-capacity cargo scanning. Here’s a closer look at the products that Intech provides to meet the diverse needs of airports around the world:
- Cargo Scanner X-ray Curtain Shields: These curtain shields are essential for high-capacity cargo scanners used in screening large shipments. Manufactured using high strength materials to withstand abusive conditions, they are formulated to provide improved protection from these high energy scanners. They’re available in lead-free versions and can be custom-fit to replace worn curtain strips or supplied as complete replacement sets. Intech’s cargo scanner shields meet the highest standards of durability and protection, ensuring the safety of personnel working in cargo and freight areas.
- Checkpoint Scanner X-ray Curtain Shields: Ideal for smaller scanners used in checkpoints and secure areas, as well as the newer high-demand 3D scanners. These curtain shields are designed to protect personnel and travelers from x-ray radiation while ensuring smooth operation in high-traffic environments. The shielding material has a durable, low-friction skin which improves baggage flow in checkpoint lanes while reducing required replacement due to wear. Customizable to fit the wide variety of checkpoint x-ray scanner models, these curtains are essential in maintaining a safe and secure checkpoint process.
- Baggage Scanner X-ray Curtain Shields: Specifically designed for baggage scanning systems which often operate at higher energy output than checkpoint systems, these curtain shields provide dependable radiation shielding to protect airport personnel from unnecessary exposure. Available in multiple materials similar to our checkpoint and cargo curtain shields, these shielding flaps comply with international safety standards and are designed to last, providing effective shielding over years of continuous use.
Intech’s extensive engineering expertise and commitment to regulatory compliance are evident across these products. The company maintains stringent quality control processes to ensure that each curtain meets both U.S. and international safety standards, covering all necessary regulatory certifications across the US, Europe, and Asia. Intech’s capabilities in custom cutting and fitting allow it to meet nearly any shielding requirement, making it the top choice for airports seeking reliable, effective, and compliant radiation shielding solutions.
