Lead Foil and Lead Lining
Nuclead provides lead foil in any size to the tenth of a thousand (.0000″) from .0020″ to .0310″ thick. Widths 1/8″ wide and up to lengths up to 200′ long. Our foils are rolled on heavy duty fiber cores. End caps can be provided to protect against shipping damage. This allows a perfect roll on your dock.
We will laminate your foil with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive), PSA with release paper, vinyl or any other product specified. Nuclead works with all the top brands of adhesives. Our climate-controlled facilities ensure proper temperature and humidity to comply with manufacturers’ specs.
Lead foil lined boxes are used in many industries for the storage of both highly radioactive and corrosive materials. Lead lining is built into lead casks and lead chests to allow the safe storage of nuclear materials
Lead lined sheetrock and lead drywall are used in the construction of radiation rooms such as x-ray rooms. Lead lining is also added to door frames, window frames and other areas where penetration into the lead lined room is required.
Lead lining is a satisfactory method of sound proofing a room. Lead soundproofing can be as much as 25 times more effective than traditional building materials at reducing sound transmission.
