What Radiation Shield Technologies does

Radiation Shield Technologies (RST), incorporated in Florida and headquartered in Miami, is a privately-held designer and manufacturer of radiation-protection personal protective equipment built around its proprietary Demron fabric. The company was founded in 2002 by Dr. Ronald DeMeo, a surgeon who invented the patented Demron technology, a lead-free, non-toxic, nano-polymer-based textile engineered to attenuate gamma, X-ray, and high-energy beta ionizing radiation while remaining lightweight and flexible. Its product portfolio spans full-body CBRN suits (Demron ICE, Demron Multi-Hazard, Demron C, Demron X-Ray), torso vests, nuclear blankets, the Demron High Energy Shield with Level IIIA ballistic protection, training suits, and a consumer Demron EMF Protection Bra. Core technology features include a patented self-cooling thermo-conductive construction that mitigates heat stress during extended wear and IR-detection reduction for stealth operations. RST sells primarily through direct e-commerce (radshield.com) and direct enterprise sales to U.S. and allied military, government, and first-responder agencies, supplemented by channel partners MIRA Safety and HUMA-LAB APEKO and an OEM licensing arrangement with Survitec for Demron ICE suit manufacturing. Pricing ranges from approximately $50 for the consumer EMF bra to $3,199 for the CBRN Multi-Hazard suit, with unit pricing, FOB Miami terms, and bulk discounts available on larger orders. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, ISO 8194:1987, ASTM F1670/F1671, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and its products have been independently validated by the Republic of Korea Army, Lawrence Livermore National Defense Laboratory, and accredited third-party laboratories. Revenue streams comprise hardware sales through direct e-commerce and enterprise channels, licensing royalties on OEM manufacturing partnerships, and custom fabric solutions for embedded applications such as aircraft fuselage shielding via the R Squared Defense partnership. The company has no disclosed institutional equity, parent company, or subsidiary structure, and remains founder-controlled with Dr. DeMeo serving as CEO.
