Radiation Shielding
Ultraray's Lead Lined Drywall is well suited to a great many installation applications due to its versatility, easy fabrication, and availability in a variety of forms. There are a number of methods of applying lead for effective radiation protection: Sheet Lead, Lead Brick, Leaded Glass, and a variety of lead lined common building materials, such as leaded drywall & leaded plywood.
Lead Lined Drywall is used in Medical, Nuclear and Industrial facilities for installations that often cover a large surface area, such as walls and ceilings. When greater structural support is required for the application, we bond our un-pierced sheet lead to common building materials like Drywall (also known as Gypsum Board or Sheetrock), Plywood and other materials.
Ultraray provides standard 1/2" or 5/8" drywall adhesive bonded to lead of desired thickness to suit our client's needs. We also offer specialty drywall options: Fire-rated, Mold/Moisture-resistant, and/or Impact-resistant boards. When the lead shielding exceeds 1/8" in thickness, Lead Lined Plywood becomes more suitable to accommodate the extra weight and provide architectural support. A variety of plywood options, including fire-treated, is available.
