The Lead Foil will be used in numerous applications including radiation shielding, research, aerospace, printing, automotive and medical applications
West Bridgewater, MA, 9/30/2020 – Nuclead Inc., a leader in shielding technology and lead materials announces the shipment of several orders of lead foil to customers throughout the USA.
What is lead foil? Lead Foil is a form of lead sheet that is thin enough to be easily cut and formed using shears. Lead foil can be stamped or formed into almost any shape so that it can be placed around any area that needs protection. Lead foil is often supplied backed with pressure sensitive adhesive or vinyl to aid the application of the product.
As can be seen from the orders in this press release Lead foil had numerous applications.
Nuclead can supply lead foil in any thickness to the tenth of a thousand (.0000″) from .0020″ to .0310″ thick. Widths up to 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
