Lead Pigs, also called Lead Ignots, are crudely cast bars of lead, used for multiple applications. Lead pigs (ingots) are often used in the construction of radiation and nuclear shielding structures as well as counterweights. Various sizes and shapes of lead pigs (ingots) are available to meet your specifications. Contact RPP for more information. Radiation Protection Products uses only the purest lead available for our lead pigs and lead ingots. Absolutely no refining takes place at our facility, making us one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly radiation shielding providers in the industry. This allows us to provide the best lead pigs and lead ingots in the market. OUR LEAD PIGS AND LEAD INGOTS ARE AVAILABLE IN ANY SIZE AND SPECIFICATION.

WE CAN DO THE LEAD SHIELDING INSTALLATION FOR YOU!! LEAD BRICK: EXCLUSIVELY DEVELOPED FOR SHIELDING OF HIGH ENERGY X-RAYS Nuclear Lead Shielding P.E.T. (Positron Emission Tomography) Shielding Gamma Knife Rooms HDR Rooms Linear Accelerator Shielding Lead Brick Applications Lead bricks are typically used in nuclear and radiation therapy applications. However, lead bricks can also be used for radioactive isotope creation, ballast weights and counterbalances. RPP's interlocking lead bricks are available in a variety of sizes to suit differing shielding and weight requirements. Our standard lead bricks can be cut to any size requirements. RPP's interlocking lead bricks are a perfect solution for high radiation potential. The interlocking feature of these lead bricks eliminates any radiation leakage in the wall. These interlocking lead bricks are offered in sizes that are manageable and easy to stack, and they require no mortar or any other additional shielding materials. Lead Brick Installation When installing lead bricks, the best method of installation is to have the lead bricks sandwiched. The lead bricks can be sandwiched between two rows of studs (with extra steel tube support if required), or between a concrete wall and a row of studs. Installation of the lead bricks using this sandwich method enables conduit and cabling to be run without concern for cutting through the lead brick wall. In all cases, the design of the lead brick wall should not allow for any penetrations in the wall as this causes issues logistically, financially and with safety. RPP's well seasoned staff is ready to answer any questions and assist with designs and budgets. We also provide installation of lead bricks anywhere in the world. Thus providing our customers turnkey shielding solutions.

LEAD VENT ROOF FLASHING Radiation Protection Products' custom fabricated lead roof flashings consist of a lead pipe boot burned to a sheet lead base. To seal to the vent pipe, simply roll the open end of the malleable lead boot to the inside of vent pipe. The Standard weights of lead are 2½, 3 and 4 lb. Heavier weights (6 and 8 lb) are available by special order. See instructions for ordering.

Every time a screw or nail is used, there is an increased risk of radiation leakage into the protected area. Previous solutions included the use of additional lead strips and discs, making the project more costly and time consuming. RPP designed a cost effective, leak-proof, lead angle system that provides complete radiation shielding. It eliminates the need to use LEAD STRIPS and DISCS for all lead lined drywall (lead lined sheetrock, lead lined gypsum wallboard) and lead lined

Sheet lead is also very effective for waterproofing, soundproofing, and isolatingdampening mechanical vibration. It is highly resistant to environmental and chemical corrosion, and so can be used in nearly any indoor or outdoor application. Lead sheeting is exceptionally versatile and easy to work with, allowing it to be bent, shaped, and cut to suit all applications, with no special tools required. We offer a wide range of lead sheeting from 132 inch to 1 inch thicknesses to meet the demands of any application. Walls, doors, window frames, and more can have lead sheet built into, or added to, them for effective shielding protection.

Lead ballast can be customized for your needs, using only the purest lead available for our lead casting & fabrication and lead castings. Absolutely no refining takes place at our facility, making us one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly providers of lead ballast in the industry. Radiation Protection Products' partnership with industry experts assures you of the finest quality materials, engineering, and installation possible. Contact us for more information on determining your lead ballast needs. LEAD BALLAST APPLICATIONS On large modern ships, the keel is made of or filled with a high-density material, such as lead. 40% heavier than steel and 60% heavier than cast iron, lead brick is a cost-effective and efficient material to use as ballast. Other counterweight applications of lead ballast in military, governmental, and public sectors include: Submarines and drawbridges Elevators Boat keels Aerospace Hydroelectric, and more. CUSTOM LEAD BALLAST SHAPES Custom lead ballast shapes are available to suit your specifications. Our industry experience can provide you with all your lead rolled or lead poured ballast needs. Radiation protection Products offers you over 50 years experience in: Lead Ballast for Ships, Submarines, & Boats Keels Castweights Storage containers Nuclear casks Lead Shielding Other types of lead, such as antimonial or hard lead are available. Radiation Protection Products manufactures a full line of radiation shielding, industrial lead shielding, and lead ballast products.

Industrial x-ray and non-destructive (NDT) imaging are important processes, allowing materials, products, and equipment to be inspected for hidden flaws that could not be seen otherwise. One of the most common uses of x-rayNDT testing is weld quality assurance—verifying the quality, location, and coverage of welds inside closed vessels or similar equipment. As with medical x-ray imaging, industrial x-ray and NDT systems require proper shielding to keep personnel safe. Radiation Protection Products (RPP) offers a wide range of lead shielding products for industrial x-ray and NDT applications.
