MarShield’s system of dry stacked shielding modules which interlock to form a tight, leak-free therapy room of any size or shape. Unique sine-wave shapes eliminate straight line seams and provides superior neutron, photon and particle attenuation at the joints.
Available in four densities – 150, 220, 250 and 300 lbs./cu.ft. (2.4, 3.52, 4 and 5 g/cu.cm.). MarShield construction requires half the space of mass concrete vaults.

Compressive strength is guaranteed to meet 2,800 psi. This product routinely easily surpasses this minimum and is typically on the order of 5,200 psi. Grout materials will have a lesser compressive strength as water content is increased for working properties, but shall not be less than 2,800 psi when mixed on site.
