Lead Shot
Cost-effective lead shot designed for radiation shielding, casting, and gap filling applications in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial environments.
Key features and benefits
Fine lead shot form – allows material to be poured, bagged, or melted as required
Suitable for radiation shielding applications – supports shielding where rigid lead products cannot be used
Easily melted and cast – simplifies fabrication into custom shapes and components
Effective for seams and voids – allows shielding to be added between walls or around irregular geometries
Cost-effective shielding solution – provides an alternative to lead brick and formed shields
Foundry-direct supply – supports consistent quality and reliable quantities
Product overview
Lead shot is commonly used in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial applications where flexible radiation shielding or custom lead forms are required. Because of its small, uniform size, lead shot can be poured into cavities, seams, or bags and placed around radiation sources where traditional lead brick or rigid shielding products are impractical.
In addition, lead shot can be easily melted and cast into the required form, making it suitable for fabrication, repairs, or custom shielding components. As a result, it supports a wide range of applications, from gap filling and localized shielding to casting operations.
Ultraray supplies lead shot directly from the foundry, allowing for consistent quality and dependable availability. Lead shot is intended to be selected and used as part of a broader radiation protection strategy and should be handled and applied according to project requirements and safety procedures.
