Lead containers are specially designed, radiation-shielding containers or boxes constructed with high-density lead (or lead-lined materials). They are used to safely store or transport radioactive sources, contaminated materials, or waste — blocking X-rays, gamma rays, and other ionizing radiation from escaping, thus protecting personnel and the surrounding environment.
In hospitals, nuclear medicine departments, research labs, or industrial radiography facilities, radioactive isotopes — used for diagnostics, treatment, or testing — must be stored or moved securely. Ordinary containers cannot prevent radiation leakage.
A lead container provides a radiation-tight, dense barrier that safely contains radioactive sources or waste, preventing stray radiation, contamination, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
During transport, handling, or storage, lead containers ensure that exposure levels remain within safe limits for staff and environment, reducing risk of radiation accidents.
Our containers are built with high-purity lead or lead-lined composite materials with certified attenuation levels, ensuring effective shielding against X-ray, gamma radiation, and other ionizing type. This makes them suitable for storing high-activity sources and radioactive waste safely.
ST-Shield lead containers feature robust, welded seams (or sealed joints), reinforced walls, and secure lids or closures to prevent radiation leakage. The structure is tight and stable — ensuring safety during storage, transport, or handling.
Constructed with corrosion-resistant outer materials and rigid lead inner layers, our containers are designed for long-term durability, resisting environmental factors, mechanical stress, and repeated handling. Ideal for hospitals, nuclear medicine labs, industrial radiography centers, or waste storage facilities.
We offer custom sizes, shapes, lead thicknesses, and shielding ratings depending on your application — whether you need small containers for isotope vials, medium boxes for radiation waste, or large containers for transport/storage of radioactive sources.
All ST-Shield lead containers meet relevant radiation safety standards. Our production process includes quality control and documentation, ensuring each container provides reliably verified shielding performance — helping your facility meet regulatory requirements for storage and transport of radioactive material.
