Overview
VL-100% Lead has long been recognized across the medical industry as a highly effective material in providing protection from various sources of radiation and has become a standard in the design of radiation protection products. The properties of lead that make it an excellent shielding material are its high density, high atomic number, high level of stability, ease of fabrication, high degree of flexibility in application, and relative ease of availability.
- Lead vinyl is available in a variety of thicknesses and can be layered to achieve the desired lead equivalence and safety standards.
- Radiation Protection guidelines promote three standard levels of lead equivalences for radiation shielding materials.
