Lead Lined Plywood

Lead lined plywood is used for radiation shielding in construction of diagnostic imaging rooms, radiation therapy rooms, nuclear facilities and laboratories. The manufacturing process consists of laminating fire-retardant plywood  to lead sheet using a permanent adhesive.  This process creates an unpierced sheet of lead plywood to cover walls and other surfaces to provide shielding of x-rays, gamma rays and other forms of radiation.   See our full collection of Lead Plywood here. Lead-lined plywood is typically utilized in applications requiring a lead thickness between 1/8” and 1/2".  When the installation requires a lead thickness between 1/32" and 1/8", we suggest use of lead laminated drywall.  If a lead thickness in excess of 1/2" is necessary, the best solution for radiation protection is lead bricks or plate. We also offer a Lead-free option where the Plywood is laminated to a tungsten composite.  You can find out more about lead-free plywood laminates here. Lead Lined Plywood S
