Sheet lead: a quick and cost-effective method to efficiently shield radiation
December 16, 2022
MarShield provides the highest quality sheet lead available. Sheet lead is the most malleable of common metals and can be easily shaped, formed, bent and cut to suit a variety of applications, including radiation shielding, construction, corrosion protection, movable lead screens, sound barriers and sound proofing, nuclear energy shielding, tank lining and vibration absorbing.
KEY FEATURES
- Consistent and high-density, manufactured from pure lead conforming to ASTM B-29, B-749 and Federal QQ-L-201F, QQ-L-171E
- Resistant to corrosion from the atmosphere, salt water and most natural chemicals
- Superior in shielding rooms from radiation against x-rays and gamma radiation
- High “limpness” (low stiffness) and high internal damping capacity allows for excellent blocking of sound and mechanical vibration
- Available in rolled or sheet form. Smaller sizes are shipped rolled to ensure cost-effective freight
- Custom sizes and thicknesses available
- Lead buttons or discs to cover screw or nail holes available upon request
- With over 70 tons of sheet lead available in stock, MarShield provides quick turnaround time on stocked sheet lead orders – most can be shipped same day
- Custom expert installation services available
Custom thicknesses available on request
NOTE: Since sheet lead has very little inherent structural strength, most applications require additional structural support of the sheet lead, or lamination to provide a more rigid building material.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Available as laminated panels, adhesivebonded to plywood, gypsum wallboard and other supporting materials.
Available finishing options, including custom milling, custom machining and cutting into any shape or part as small as 1” x 0.35”.
