Application

Examples include X-ray rooms in veterinary practices, dental surgeries and hospitals, CT rooms, and radiation research facilities.

Description

A range of high-pressure, lead-bonded building materials for effective lead-lining. For the lead-lining of ceilings, Raybloc supplies and installs lead-lined plywood boards, available at a standard thickness of 12.5 mm excluding lead thickness. Greater thicknesses can also be supplied and installed upon request.


Lead is an effective standard used in radiation shielding practices given its malleability, cost, and high density. Lead sheets are manufactured in lead mills into rolls at a certain thickness, before being bonded to the boards at high heat and pressure to make lead-lined panels. The thicknesses they are made to are in accordance with lead codes. Raybloc supply boards from code 3 (1.32 mm Pb) up to code 8 (3.55 mm Pb). These can be stacked to achieve a greater thickness of lead where necessary.


These boards are commonly used to prevent radiation leakage through walls, floors, and ceilings within facilities that require radiation protection up to a lead equivalence of 10 mm Pb. Examples include X-ray rooms in veterinary practices, dental surgeries and hospitals, CT rooms, and radiation research facilities.


To ensure full lead coverage across a wall or ceiling, all of the radiation protective boards come complete with leaded battens for fixing onto solid walls and ceilings (e.g., block work) or lead strips (lead fillets) for fixing onto timber battens (e.g. stud work). Battens and strips prevent leakage between boards to make certain a room is completely protected to the standards of the Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) specified for the project.


Since gypsum plasterboard is less structurally strong than plywood, lead plasterboard is limited to code 5 lead to prevent them from breaking once installed under its own weight. X-ray protection that requires code 6, code 7, and code 8 lead panels can only be mounted on plywood boards.


Features and benefits:

  • Standard lead equivalence from 1.32 mmPb (code 3) to 3.5 mm Pb (code 8).
  • Can be layered to achieve a lead equivalence of up to 10 mm Pb.
  • Ten-year material and workmanship warranty.
  • All timber products purchased and used by Raybloc (X-ray Protection) Ltd are FSC certified for sustainability.
  • Manufactured in the United Kingdom.
  • Dunlop S1922/Clear heat-resistant sprayable adhesive.
