Sheet Lead is one of the most malleable of common metals. It can be easily shaped, formed, bent and/or easily cut to suit all applications. Sheet lead is extremely resistant to corrosion from the atmosphere, salt water, and most industrial chemicals.
It is ideal for making corrosion resistant gaskets, lead lining tanks, reducing sound in rooms and replacing metal flashing in roofs. With its high density and flexibility it becomes superior in shielding rooms from radiation against x-rays and gamma radiation.
For radiation shielding you should be looking for Sheet Lead with a consistent and high density manufactured from pure lead conforming to ASTM B-29, B-749 and Federal QQ-L-201F, QQ-L-171E. Sheet Lead is built into a variety of structures, such as walls, doors, window frames and cabinetry to provide the necessary shielding protection.

With its high ?impness?(low stiffness) and high internal damping capacity it becomes excellent barrier material to block the transmission of sound, and for isolating equipment from mechanical vibration. Since Sheet Lead can easily be shaped with little effort at ambient temperatures without the need for periodic softening or annealing it does not work harden. It therefore can be readily manipulated with standard hand tools without the risk of fracture. As with most other commodities, sheet lead is usually sold by the pound and is available in rolled or sheet form.
Many of the more common uses of sheet lead are for radiation shielding in hospitals, labs, medical centers, veterinary clinics, and dental. Construction roofing, flashing and waterproofing, Sound barriers and sound proofing, Nuclear shielding, tank lining and vibration absorption
