Product Detail1

Shanghai Metal Corporation is a leading Pure Lead Sheet manufacturer and supplier.

Pure Lead Sheet is a dense, highly malleable metal product manufactured from refined lead with a minimum purity of 99.9%. With a density of 11.34 g/cm³, this material provides effective attenuation of ionizing radiation, including X-rays and gamma rays. It is primarily utilized in medical imaging facilities, nuclear power plants, and industrial radiography operations to shield personnel and sensitive equipment from harmful exposure. Additionally, the material's high mass and sound transmission loss characteristics make it suitable for acoustic insulation in architectural partitions and vibration dampening in heavy machinery. Its outstanding resistance to corrosion from acids and alkalis allows it to serve as a protective lining in chemical processing tanks and piping systems, extending the service life of industrial infrastructure. The sheet is available in thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 45 mm, with custom dimensions and surface treatments available upon request.

1. Pure Lead Sheet is manufactured from refined metallic lead with a minimum purity of 99.9% (Pb ≥ 99.99% available upon request). The material contains trace impurities such as antimony (Sb < 0.005%), tin (Sn < 0.005%), copper (Cu < 0.005%), and bismuth (Bi < 0.05%).

2. The sheet features a homogeneous, single-layer metallic structure without composite layers or internal reinforcement. It is fabricated through precision rolling and thermal treatment processes, yielding a uniformly dense material with a smooth surface and consistent thickness across the entire sheet. The rolled structure provides excellent malleability, allowing the sheet to conform easily to contours, corners, and fixture cutouts during installation.

3.· Density: 11.34 g/cm³ · Melting Point: 327.5 °C · Tensile Strength: 12–17 MPa · Thickness Range: 0.5 mm to 100 mm (custom sizes available) · Standard Dimensions: 1000 mm × 2000 mm · Surface Finish: Grey/silvery smooth finish

4. As a single-layer functional material, the sheet serves multiple roles: (a) Radiation attenuation — the high atomic number (Z=82) and high density provide effective shielding against X-rays and gamma rays; (b) Corrosion resistance — excellent resistance to acids and alkalis, acting as a protective lining for chemical processing equipment; (c) Acoustic insulation — high mass and sound transmission loss characteristics reduce noise in architectural and industrial settings.

5.· 0.5 mm – 2.0 mm: X-ray inspection rooms, radiology department wall linings, and control booth barriers · 2.0 mm – 10 mm: CT and fluoroscopy suites, nuclear laboratories, and industrial NDT testing facilities · 10 mm – 45 mm: High-energy gamma radiation shielding, nuclear power plant barriers, and heavy-duty radiation protection structures · 45 mm – 100 mm: Specialized industrial shielding for high-intensity radiation sources and chemical processing tank linings

6. Pure Lead Sheet is suitable for: medical imaging facilities (X-ray, CT, fluoroscopy), nuclear power plants, industrial radiography operations, chemical processing tank linings, architectural acoustic partitions, and vibration dampening in heavy machinery. It is not suitable for shielding against thermal neutrons or fast neutrons.

1. Effective Radiation Shielding Manufactured from high-purity lead with a high atomic number (82) and density of 11.34 g/cm³, it reliably attenuates X-rays and gamma rays, ensuring safety for personnel and sensitive equipment in medical imaging, nuclear, and industrial radiography environments while supporting regulatory compliance.

2. High Malleability and Formability The pure lead structure is highly ductile and can be easily cut, bent, and shaped around complex contours without cracking, simplifying installation in irregular spaces and reducing labor time and seam-related shielding gaps.

3. Superior Corrosion Resistance It resists attack from acids, alkalis, and industrial chemicals, maintaining structural integrity in harsh environments, which extends the service life of chemical processing tanks, piping, and architectural linings and lowers maintenance costs.

4. Excellent Acoustic Insulation Its high mass and density provide significant sound transmission loss, effectively blocking airborne noise to improve workplace conditions and help architectural and industrial projects meet acoustic regulations.

5. High Purity and Chemical Stability Refined to a minimum purity of 99.9%, it remains chemically stable and does not degrade or oxidize under normal conditions, guaranteeing consistent long-term shielding or lining performance and reducing failure risks.

6. Customizable Thickness and Dimensions Available in thicknesses from 0.5 mm to 100 mm with custom widths and lengths, it reduces material waste and fabrication complexity by allowing exact sizes to be ordered for specific project requirements.

1. Medical Imaging Shielding Suitable for CT scan rooms, X-ray suites, and control booth walls. The high density (11.34 g/cm³) and atomic number (82) provide reliable attenuation of X-rays and gamma rays to protect staff and patients. Recommended Thickness: 2.0 mm – 10 mm.

2. Nuclear Facility Barriers Used in nuclear power plants and radioactive waste storage facilities for structural radiation protection. It effectively blocks high-energy gamma rays and remains chemically stable over decades of service. Recommended Thickness: 10 mm – 100 mm.

3. Chemical Tank Linings Applied as protective linings for storage tanks and piping handling sulfuric, chromic, or hydrochloric acids. It resists corrosion and chemical attack, preventing equipment failure and extending asset lifespan. Recommended Thickness: 2.0 mm – 15 mm.

4. Industrial Radiography (NDT) Enclosures Deployed in weld inspection and casting flaw detection rooms for industrial non-destructive testing. Its high malleability allows seamless bending around corners and fixtures, eliminating radiation leakage points. Recommended Thickness: 3.0 mm – 20 mm.

5. Acoustic Isolation Panels Integrated into recording studios, machinery enclosures, and architectural partitions. The high mass and density deliver excellent sound transmission loss, reducing airborne noise pollution. Recommended Thickness: 0.5 mm – 5.0 mm.

6. What should I consider when installing lead sheets for chemical tank linings?

The substrate must be clean and dry. Use lead burning (welding) or mechanical fasteners to ensure continuous, gap-free coverage. Do not expose to direct flame or temperatures exceeding 120°C during service.

7. Can pure lead sheets be used outdoors?

Yes. Pure lead naturally forms a protective oxide layer. However, for prolonged outdoor exposure or acidic environments, applying an epoxy or bitumen coating is recommended to prevent surface staining and extend service life.
