Product IntroductionLead shielding plates are manufactured from Grade 1 electrolytic lead with a typical purity of 99.994% and a density of 11.34 g/cm³. Produced by casting and rolling, these plates provide lead-equivalent shielding from 1 mmPb up to 50 mmPb (customizable by project). They combine high material homogeneity and chemical stability, making them suitable for medical radiation protection and other industrial shielding applications.
Product Performance- Designed for radiation shielding: effective attenuation of diagnostic X-rays and other ionizing radiation.
- Smooth, grain-free surface with precise, customizable thickness and guaranteed zero negative thickness tolerance.
- High material purity and density ensure consistent shielding performance with no micropores.
- Excellent corrosion resistance and acid/alkali tolerance for long service life in clinical and construction environments.
- Quality-controlled production with available testing and compliance documentation for medical radiation shielding requirements.
