Abstract Boron ore compounds like borax decahydrate (BD) have a high-strength, lightweight structure which makes them a suitable candidate for radiation shielding and attenuation applications. Incorporation of Bio-Caulk Boron based materials proposed to have in shielding high thermal neutrons. Based on this, in the present work most low cost and highly efficient boron-based compounds, like pulverized borax decahydrate were used. They were synthesized through the ball milling technique for various time intervals (0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 h). The addition of pulverized boron compounds incorporated with the Bio-caulk has better strength properties and radiation shielding efficiency.
