Sheet Lead
Ultraray Radiation Protection supplies high-purity Sheet Lead (ASTM B749/QQ-L-201F) in a wide range of thicknesses, sizes, and formats to meet the stringent demands of radiation shielding in medical, industrial, and research environments. Manufactured with a purity of 99.5% or greater, our lead sheets deliver reliable attenuation against X-rays and gamma radiation, making them the industry standard for critical shielding applications.
Our sheet lead is engineered for maximum performance in both structural and mobile shielding systems. With its exceptional density, malleability, and corrosion resistance, it is ideal for integration into walls, doors, panels, and custom shielding assemblies where space, durability, and long-term protection are essential. Some characteristics of lead make it the most commonly used material for many applications:
Superior Radiation Attenuation
The high atomic number and density of lead enable it to absorb and attenuate ionizing radiation more effectively than other building materials. Even at reduced thicknesses, sheet lead provides robust protection without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to your structure.
Customizable and Malleable
Ultraray's lead sheets are highly malleable, making them easy to work with for field fabrication or factory installation. Whether you need material for wall linings, mobile shielding units, lead-lined doors, pass-boxes, or frames, our sheet lead can be precision cut and formed to suit unique site requirements and project specifications.
Corrosion-Resistant and Long-Lasting
Our sheet lead is exceptionally resistant to atmospheric corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for both interior and exterior installations. It is also frequently used as an underlayment or waterproof barrier in roofing and cladding systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
Ultraray sheet lead is commonly used in:
Hospital and medical imaging facilities for radiation shielding
Nuclear research centers and laboratories
Industrial radiography rooms and inspection bays
Architectural shielding for radiation therapy suites
With decades of experience in radiation protection and lead-based shielding, Ultraray is a trusted supplier to hospitals, contractors, and OEMs across Canada and the United States. Whether your project demands large-volume sheet lead supply or specialized custom-fabricated components, our team is ready to deliver.
Sheet Lead is readily available in our warehouse in any size, widths up to 8 ft and lengths up to 25 ft. We offer Common, Chemical or Antimonial lead at any required thickness. It is also used on our Lead Lined Drywall / Plywood for the same level of protection, with greater structural support.
Ultraray has extensive knowledge and experience in industries including Medical, Dental, Veterinary, Nuclear, Security and Detection, Checkpoint and Defense, NDT, and Construction. We will provide the right product for your application while meeting all safety and environmental regulations and standards.
As required our technical and QA team will provide tailored Certificates of Conformance (CofC) and First Articles of Inspection (FAI).
With hundreds of rolls in-stock, Ultraray guarantees speedy delivery of material.
