The Lead Plate + Barium Sulfate Plate is a high-performance composite shielding solution engineered for demanding radiation protection environments. Combining the superior radiation absorption of 99.994% pure lead plates with the environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness of barium sulfate plates, this composite product delivers enhanced shielding performance while addressing the limitations of single-material solutions. The 15mm thick barium sulfate plate offers lead equivalence comparable to pure lead, while the lead plate provides additional attenuation for high-radiation areas. Suitable for both permanent and temporary installations, this composite plate is easy to install, non-toxic, and designed for long-term durability. It is widely used in medical facilities, industrial testing areas, and nuclear medicine labs, setting a new standard for versatile, cost-effective radiation shielding.

The synergy between lead and barium sulfate creates a composite plate with higher radiation attenuation than either material alone. The lead plate absorbs high-energy X-rays and gamma rays, while the barium sulfate plate attenuates scattered radiation, resulting in comprehensive protection for high-radiation environments such as CT rooms and nuclear labs.
Unlike pure lead plates, the barium sulfate component is non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly. This makes the composite plate suitable for indoor installations where air quality and safety are priorities, eliminating the health risks associated with lead dust or leaching.
The Lead Plate + Barium Sulfate Plate offers a lower total cost of ownership compared to pure lead plates. The barium sulfate plate reduces the required thickness of the lead plate, lowering material costs while maintaining or improving shielding performance. Additionally, the easy installation process reduces labor costs for projects.
The composite plate is lightweight relative to pure lead plates of equivalent shielding, making it easier to transport and install. It can be directly mounted on walls, ceilings, or floors, or integrated into protective doors, windows, and barriers. The customizable size and lead equivalence allow it to adapt to diverse project requirements.
Ideal for CT rooms, X-ray rooms, and nuclear medicine labs. Used as wall cladding, door panels, or ceiling shielding to protect staff and patients from radiation leakage. The 15mm barium sulfate plate is often used for general X-ray rooms, while thicker lead plate combinations suit high-energy CT scanners.
Suitable for industrial radiography facilities, non-destructive testing (NDT) labs, and pipeline inspection areas. The composite plate shields workers from radiation emitted by industrial X-ray equipment and radioactive sources used in quality control processes.
Used to construct shielding for storage areas of radioactive isotopes, as well as walls and barriers in diagnostic and therapeutic rooms. The high lead equivalence and eco-friendly properties make it a safe choice for handling nuclear materials.
Applied in academic and industrial research labs conducting experiments involving ionizing radiation. The customizable shielding levels allow researchers to tailor protection to specific equipment and procedures.
The 15mm thick barium sulfate plate in the Lead Plate + Barium Sulfate Plate system offers a lead equivalence of 1mmpb. This means it provides the same radiation shielding performance as a 1mm thick pure lead plate, while being non-toxic and easier to install. When combined with a lead plate, the total lead equivalence is the sum of the lead plate’s lead equivalence and the barium sulfate plate’s 1mmpb.
The composite plate is significantly more cost-effective than pure lead plates. Barium sulfate is a lower-cost material than pure lead, and the composite design reduces the required thickness of the lead plate (by leveraging the barium sulfate’s shielding capacity). This results in a 20-30% cost savings on material costs alone, not including additional savings from easier installation and reduced transportation costs (due to lower weight).
Yes, the composite plate is fully customizable to meet project-specific requirements. We offer adjustable lead plate thickness (0.5mm - 500mm) to achieve the desired lead equivalence (0.1mmpb - 50mmpb), as well as custom sizes beyond the standard 1200mm × 2400mm. Additionally, we can tailor the installation method (direct mounting, wall cladding, etc.) to suit the unique needs of your facility, whether it’s a new construction project or a renovation of existing radiation areas.
