Lead Bricks
Lead bricks are commonly used for radiation shielding where high levels of exposure may occur. The need for lead brick walls are most often seen in Nuclear, Healthcare, Radioisotope and certain Industrial facilities where high energy X-rays are in operation or where radioactive materials are used, processed or stored. They can be used to construct walls or to build lead caves, which are perfect for the containment of radiation.
Lead Bricks are a Robust Shielding Solution
Flat lead bricks are ideal for shielding projects that require protection against X-rays and nuclear radiation. If you are constructing a new building or refurbishing existing premises where radiation shielding is mandated, flat bricks can meet or exceed federal specifications for shielding requirements. Our lead bricks facilitate erecting, modifying, and relocating protective walls and caves for the containment of radioactive materials.
Careful construction to exact specifications makes these suitable for even the most demanding environments. With its great density, lead makes an effective barrier against radiation while occupying minimal space.
