Radiation shielding / Lead sheet / Lead plate / Lead roll / Lead brick / Lead ingot / Lead glass / Lead acrylic / Lead lined furniture / Lead lined drywall
Radiation shielding / 輻射防護 is a protective shield that is inserted betweeen a source of ionising radiation and the object to protect to reduce the amount of damage that can happen to delicate or biological materials, particularly during transport. With our SHIELDSMITH technology, we offer a pure, safe and environmentally friendly solution for all our high-density radiation shielding products. No refining occurs at our facility. It is pure. Flexible. Customizable. And it’s the future, now.
Lead sheet / Lead plate / Lead roll / 鉛板 / 鉛片 is used for radiation shielding in x-ray machines, nuclear power plants, labs, military equipment, and other places where radiation may be encountered. There is great variety in the types of shielding available both to protect people and to shield equipment and experiments. Lead sheet / lead plate / lead roll is highly resistant to corrosion so it is a desirable product to use for tank linings for corrosive acids and strong industrial chemicals and corrosion resistant sealing gaskets.
Lead sheet thickness: 1-6mm
Lead sheet packaging size: 1m x 1m / 1m x 2m / According to customer needs
Lead brick / Lead ingot / 鉛磚 / 鉛錠 is ideal for adding additional shielding to existing rooms and can be used in new construction. Our interlocking lead brick is a perfect solution for high radiation potential. The interlocking feature of the lead brick eliminates radiation leakage in the wall. The interlocking lead brick is offered in sizes that are manageable and easy to stack, and they require no mortar or any other additional shielding materials.
Lead brick thickness: 12-85mm
Lead brick standard size:
16mm(T) x 300mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 5.5kg
18mm(T) x 300mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 6.2kg
25mm(T) x 300mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 8.5kg
35mm(T) x 300mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 12kg
85mm(T) x 300mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 29kg
50mm(T) x 200mm(W) x 100mm(H) - 11.4kg
Lead glass / X-ray glass / 鉛玻璃 also referred to as radiation shielding glass or lead glass, is leaded glass that provides shielding protection by absorbing the radiation energy. Lead x-ray glass / 鉛玻璃 has a number of uses, primarily in the medical industry to provide protection against gamma rays and x-rays.
Lead glass, lead equivalent: 1-5mm
Lead glass packaging size: 1m x 1m / 1.2m x 2.4m / According to customer needs
Lead acrylic / 鉛阿加力 / 鉛亞克力 is not lead glass. Lead acrylic is a unique, versatile, transparent plastic that contains 30% lead by weight. Lead Acrylic is the shatter-resistant option when a large undistorted radiation protection viewing window is necessary. Safe to work with, the window panel can be cut to fit standard lead-lined window frames.
Lead acrylic, lead equivalent: 0.145-0.58mm
Lead acrylic packaging size: 1m x 1m / 1m x 2m / According to customer needs
Lead lined drywall / 石膏板鉛板 also known as leaded drywall or lead-lined gypsum board, is a type of specialized building material that is used to create walls, partitions, and ceilings in areas where protection from radiation is required. It consists of a layer of gypsum board (drywall) that is laminated with a sheet of lead on one or both sides, to provide a radiation barrier. This type of drywall is commonly used in medical and dental facilities, veterinary clinics, industrial x-ray rooms, and other settings where radiation is present.
Plasterboard (drywall) thickness: 12.5mm
Lead layer thickness in lead lined drywall: 1-3mm
Lead lined furniture / 鉛傢俱 suitable for nuclear medicine departments and radiochemistry labs, Shing Shun’s customizable range can be tailored to specific specifications and requirements. Our shielded furniture protects personnel from ionizing radiation to ensure radiation safety in the working area. The stainless-steel casing provides a durable, corrosion-resistant, easy decontamination and clean finishing. Shing Shun also designs and manufactures shielded workstations for cyclotron maintenance, quality control, PET operations and more.
The Main Features of Our Radiation shielding / Lead sheet / Lead plate / Lead roll / Lead brick / Lead ingot / Lead glass / Lead acrylic / Lead lined furniture / Lead lined drywall
“High atomic number: Lead has a high atomic number, which means that it is effective at stopping and absorbing gamma rays and X-rays.
Absorption: Radiation shielding materials are designed to absorb ionizing radiation, which means that they reduce the amount of radiation that passes through them.
Attenuation: Radiation shielding materials are also designed to attenuate or weaken ionizing radiation as it passes through them. This helps to further reduce the amount of radiation that reaches people and equipment on the other side of the shielding.”
Radiation shielding / Lead sheet / Lead plate / Lead roll / Lead brick / Lead ingot / Lead glass / Lead acrylic / Lead lined furniture / Lead lined drywall Applications
“Nuclear power plants: Lead is used to shield workers and sensitive equipment from the radiation emitted by nuclear reactors.
Medical facilities: Lead is used to shield patients and medical personnel from radiation during diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and radiation therapy.
Research laboratories: Lead is used to shield researchers and equipment from radiation during experiments involving radioactive materials.
Industrial applications: Lead is used in industrial applications such as radiography, where they provide shielding for workers and equipment from sources of ionizing radiation.
Military applications: Lead is used in military applications such as nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, where they provide shielding for personnel and equipment from radiation.”
