Enhance Radiation Protection with MarShield's Lead Bricks

January 18, 2024

Discover how MarShield's lead bricks offer robust radiation shielding solutions suitable for diverse construction needs. Whether for temporary shields, permanent installations, or storage areas, these high-purity lead bricks are crucial for ensuring top-notch X-ray and Gamma radiation shielding.

Enhance Radiation Protection with MarShield's Lead Bricks

Versatility and Applications

image MarShield's lead bricks boast a smooth, clean, non-porous surface, making them easy to clean and decontaminate. They are versatile, ideal for walls, caves, glove-boxes, hot cells, transportation of radioactive materials, or simply as ballast weight.

Available Lead Brick Types

Choose from a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. MarShield offers straight or interlocking styles, including lead-free shielding bricks using Mars FlexShieldTM technology. Interlocking Chevron style bricks provide maximum protection, preventing radiation leakage through gaps. Both .pdf and .dwg versions of CAD drawings for interlocking lead bricks are available here.

Benefits of Using Lead Bricks in Shielding Rooms
