Well-Seasoned on All Forms Of Radiation Shielding

Lead Blocks and Bricks for Radiation Shielding

Lead bricks, also called lead blocks, have a high molecular density, making them highly effective at providing protection from gamma rays, x-rays, and other forms of radiation. Radiation Protection Products is your go-to source for high-density radiation-shielding lead bricks for any industrial facility.

Interlocking and Regular Lead Bricks

High-Density Lead Bricks Made from Pure Lead

Radiation Protection Products uses only the purest lead for all our high-density radiation shielding products. Absolutely no refining takes place at our facility, making us one of the industry's cleanest, most environmentally friendly radiation shielding providers.

Always consult a licensed physicist before purchasing any lead bricks for radiation shielding in concrete walls. View our lead shielding considerations and other resources for more information.

Interlocking Lead Bricks for Radiation Shielding

Interlocking lead bricks feature a tongue and groove to easily fit into many forms and create a customized radiation shielding barrier. They are an excellent solution for high-radiation applications as they eliminate the risk of leakage, are manageable and easy to stack, and are available in several sizes to suit various shielding and weight requirements:

  • 3/4” x 4” x 12”
  • 1” x 4” x 12”
  • 1-1/2” x 4” x 12”
  • 2” x 4” x 8”
  • 2” x 4” x 12”
  • 2-1/2” x 4” x 12”

All our interlocking lead bricks meet or exceed the federal specification QQL-171 Grade C.

Radiation Shielded Standard Lead Bricks

Standard high-density lead blocks for concrete walls feature a traditional brick shape with a straight edge and can be cut to any size for complete customization. Standard lead bricks should be used with lead mortar or stacked in double rows with a staggered pattern to prevent leakage. In addition to concrete walls, standard lead bricks can be used with lead-lined drywall or other shielding materials.

Our standard lead bricks for radiation shielding meet or exceed the federal specification QL-201-F Grade C, see NCRP #49, #33, #35.

Industrial Applications for Radiation Shielding Lead Blocks

Lead bricks provide a higher level of shielding than lead-lined plywood or lead-lined drywall, making them ideal for constructing temporary or permanent walls, partitions, and other protective barriers. They can also be used for radioactive isotope creation, ballast weights, and counterbalances. Some common applications in laboratories, hospitals, and other facilities include:

  • Nuclear lead shielding
  • P.E.T. shielding
  • Gamma knife rooms
  • HDR rooms
  • Linear accelerator shielding

The best way to install lead blocks for any application is to sandwich the bricks between two rows of studs or steel tubing, or between a concrete wall and a row of studs. This method enables conduit and cabling to be run without concern for cutting through the lead brick wall.
