Laminated lead in sheets or rolls
These sheets can be bonded to various materials: steel, stainless steel, plywood, plasterboard, etc.| From 0.5 to 5 mm thick. |
| Width and length can be cut on request (within the limits specified below). |
| Pb purity : > 99 % |
Lead plates, unfinished or machined
For all types of radiological shielding.| From 0.5 to 100 mm thick. |
| Pb purity can be adjusted according to requirements. |
| Thickness up to 100 mm (for greater thicknesses, contact us). |
| Special requests : machining, addition of lifting sockets, etc. |
Lead wool
Used for caulking wall penetrations and sealing joints and connections with pipes, shielded glass blocks and cable or pipe channels.| Pureté : > 99 % |
| Apparent density after firm packing of the lead wool : approx. 5,5 kg/dm3 (depending on the operator) |
| Packaging : 25 kg box |
Lead shot (or pellets)
Ideal for reversible radiation shielding, loaded material, or counterweights.| Pb purity : > 97 % |
| Apparent density : 6.8 to 7 for constant diameter shot 7 to 7.2 for mixed shot (under laboratory conditions) |
| Packaging : in 25kg polypropylene woven bags for manual carrying or in 1 tonne Big Bags. |
