Cambridge, MA June 29, 2018 – Nuclead a leading manufacturer and distributor of custom and standard lead products for research, industry and consumers announces the delivery of several recent orders for Lead pipe and lead foil.
Lead pipes used in industry today because of the properties of lead that include radiation shielding, malleability, flexibility and resistance to corrosion. Typical applications include chemical plants, nuclear plants, paper manufacturing plants and Hydro and plating applications.
Lead Pipes are used for radiation shielding, Soil Waste, Ventilating, and telephone and telegraph underground piping, pressure tubes (copper / lead alloy) and cable sheathing.
Lead Foil, often supplied backed with pressure sensitive adhesive or vinyl, is typically used, also, in radiation and corrosion resistance applications. For example, radiation shielding in X-ray machines. Lead Foil is also used for soundproofing applications.
