Anti-radiation lead sheet is a high-performance professional shielding material developed based on the high density and high atomic number properties of metallic lead. It serves as an effective barrier against ionizing radiation including X-rays and gamma rays, and is extensively applied in medical care, nuclear industry, scientific research and other key fields. The detailed product specifications and core advantages are outlined below:
Core Product Features
High-Density Radiation Shielding Performance
With a high density of 11.34 g/cm³ and an atomic number of 82, lead boasts superior radiation absorption capacity. It can efficiently absorb and scatter radiation particles via the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering and other physical mechanisms, delivering reliable radiation shielding effects.
Standardized Lead Equivalent Protection
The radiation protection capacity of lead sheets is quantified by the lead equivalent value (unit: mmPb), which indicates the equivalent protective effect of a specific lead sheet thickness compared with other shielding materials. For reference, a 1mm-thick lead sheet can achieve approximately 99% attenuation of 100kV medical X-rays.
Key Technical Parameters
- 100kV medical X-ray equipment: 1–2mm thick lead sheet
Surface Treatment: Optional treatments including PVC coating, epoxy resin spraying and stainless steel cladding, which effectively prevents lead oxide dust generation and secondary pollution.
- Protective wall, door and window shielding for CT rooms and DR rooms in radiology departments
Industrial & Scientific Research Fields
- Safety protection for laboratory radiation-emitting devices
- Shielding configuration for military nuclear radiation shelters
- Fixed Support: Lead sheet features soft texture and low tensile strength (only 10–20MPa), so it must be fixed and supported with professional steel frame structures.
- Toxicity Prevention: The lead sheet surface must be fully covered to avoid direct human contact. Construction personnel shall wear dust masks and other protective gear during operation.
