Customized 99.99% Pure Lead Sheets in Roll 0.1mm 0.2mm 0.3mm 0.5mm 0.8mm 1mm 2mm 3mm Lead Sheet Plate Roll for X Ray Room

Lead is a heavy metal with a high atomic number (Z=82) and high density (11.34 g/cm³), which enables it to absorb and scatter X-ray photons efficiently. The 99.99% purity means the lead sheet contains almost no impurities (e.g., iron, copper, zinc) that would create "weak points" in the shielding layer.

For X-ray rooms: Even thin gauges (e.g., 0.1mm-0.5mm) can attenuate low-energy X-rays (e.g., dental X-rays, mammography); thicker gauges (1mm-3mm) are suitable for high-energy applications (e.g., CT scans, fluoroscopy). For example, a 1mm pure lead sheet can reduce X-ray intensity by over 90% (depending on X-ray energy), meeting the basic shielding requirements for general diagnostic rooms.

Impurities in low-purity lead (e.g., 95%-98% purity) can degrade over time (e.g., oxidation, corrosion) or create gaps in the material, reducing shielding effectiveness. The 99.99% pure lead has minimal non-lead components, ensuring consistent density and shielding performance for 10-20 years (the typical service life of an X-ray room).

No "secondary radiation" risk: Pure lead absorbs X-rays without emitting harmful secondary radiation (unlike some composite shielding materials that may release scattered radiation), enhancing safety for long-term use.

Walls/Ceilings: Cover large, flat areas without seams (or with minimal seams, sealed with lead tape) to avoid radiation leakage through gaps.

Doors/Windows: Cut into custom sizes to line X-ray room doors (wooden or metal) or shielded observation windows (paired with leaded glass).

Irregular Structures: Molded around pillars, pipes, or equipment corners (e.g., X-ray machine bases) that are hard to shield with rigid materials.

Rolled lead sheets are highly malleable (pure lead has excellent ductility) and can be bent, curved, or cut to fit:

Size customization: Factories can produce rolls with specific widths (e.g., 1.2m for standard wall heights) or lengths (e.g., 30m for a large CT room) to reduce on-site cutting waste and installation time.

Surface treatment customization: Optional surface coatings (e.g., anti-oxidation film, PVC laminates) to prevent lead oxidation (which causes white "lead dust" and reduces durability) and simplify cleaning (critical for medical environments with strict hygiene requirements).

Cut-to-size service: For small projects (e.g., dental clinics), factories can pre-cut rolls into sheets of specific dimensions (e.g., 1m×2m) to save on-site labor.
