Lead Bricks are produced in a wide range of sizes in the plain and the interlocking styles.
The smooth surfaces of Lead Bricks allow for easier decontamination of the shield from radioactive dust.
Lead Bricks are normally produced from about 4 per cent Antimony Lead alloy, which is harder than Pure Lead, and more resistant to damage.Any rays that penetrate the first angle of the interlocking joint will actually strike an equal or greater depth of lead than the straight thickness of the wall.
Lead Bricks are a convenient solution to temporary or permanent shielding/storage situations. Easy to stack, unstack and relocate, lead bricks provide maximum protection wherever needed.
Application
Lead bricks can be used for walls, coves, glove-boxes, hot cells or partitions, the transportation of radioactive materials, and nuclear shielding or simply as ballast weight.
