MarShield provides lead bricks for radiation shielding for construction where temporary, permanent shields or storage areas are required. Lead bricks are a versatile and suitable way to add lead shielding to existing structures or for new constructions as a method to reduce wall or ceiling thickness to achieve space savings. Our high-purity lead bricks are essential for ensuring maximum X-ray shielding and Gamma radiation shielding.
Versatility and Applications of Lead Bricks
- Our bricks are relatively smooth and clean and have a non-porous surface to make them easy to clean and decontaminate.
- Suitable for walls, caves, glove-boxes, hot cells, partitions, and transportation of radioactive materials and nuclear shielding or simply as ballast weight.
- Can be used when sheet lead is impractical or unavailable in required sizes or thicknesses.
- Lead bricks offer a stable and sturdy wall system, preventing toppling over and ensuring an efficient and tighter fit when stacking or building wall systems.
Types of Lead Bricks Available
- Available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, and shapes.
- Straight or interlocking styles are available.
- MarShield can provide lead-free shielding bricks using Mars FlexShieldTM technology.
- Interlocking Chevron style bricks provide maximum protection and prevent radiation leakage through gaps.
- Both .pdf and .dwg versions of our CAD drawings for interlocking lead bricks are available here.
- Straight type lead bricks are available for radiation shielding, where interlocking bricks will not suit your application.
- Machined and milled lead bricks in standard and custom sizes can be as radiation shielding materials for industrial and medical uses, as well as for anti-corrosive linings.
Why Use Lead Bricks in Nuclear Shielding Rooms?
- Enhanced Radiation Protection: The use of lead bricks for radiation shielding enhances the protective barriers, ensuring maximum safety from radiation exposure.
- Versatility in Design: Lead bricks offer flexibility in design, allowing for adjustments and modifications in the shielding room as per the radiation intensity and distribution.
- Ease of Installation: Lead bricks can be easily installed, modified, and relocated within the shielding room, providing practical solutions for varying radiation protection needs.
- Optimized Space Utilization: Utilizing lead bricks in the construction of shielding rooms can help in optimizing the space, as they allow for thinner walls while still providing effective radiation protection.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Incorporating lead bricks in shielding rooms can be a cost-effective solution, especially when dealing with high-intensity radiation, as it reduces the need for thicker lead-lined walls.
