ST Shield’s Lead Shot is a versatile, high-density radiation shielding material designed for applications requiring flexible, bulk shielding—where lead sheets, bricks, or plates are impractical or inefficient. Made from high-purity lead (99.99% pure) formed into uniform spherical pellets (diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 5mm), this lead shot delivers exceptional radiation attenuation due to its high density (11.34 g/cm³), making it ideal for filling cavities, gaps, or custom shielding structures that require uniform radiation absorption. The spherical shape of the lead shot allows it to flow freely into irregular spaces—such as the interior of concrete walls, custom shielding containers, or gaps around equipment—creating a seamless, solid shielding barrier when compacted. Unlike rigid lead products, Lead Shot offers unmatched adaptability: it can be used to fill any shape or size of enclosure, making it perfect for retrofitting existing structures with radiation shielding, creating temporary shielding barriers, or manufacturing custom shielding products (e.g., lead-filled blankets, portable shielding bags, or specialized industrial components). In medical settings, Lead Shot is often used as a filler in custom-shaped radiation shields for specialized imaging equipment or as a component in radiation therapy patient positioning devices. In industrial applications, it serves as a dense filler for concrete used in NDT testing booths, radioactive waste storage containers, or structural shielding for nuclear facilities. It is also utilized in non-shielding industrial applications, such as ballast for heavy machinery, shot blasting media, or ammunition components—thanks to its high density and durability. ST Shield’s Lead Shot undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure uniform pellet size, high purity, and minimal impurities that could affect shielding performance. It is available in bulk quantities (bags, drums, or totes) to accommodate large-scale projects, with options for specialized packaging to prevent lead dust exposure during handling. The lead shot is compliant with ASTM B259 standards for lead shot quality, ensuring consistent performance across all applications. For users seeking a flexible, cost-effective shielding solution that adapts to diverse needs—from small lab projects to large industrial constructions—ST Shield’s Lead Shot delivers reliability, versatility, and high shielding efficiency in a convenient, easy-to-use form.
