Lead Brick

Our Lead Bricks are produced by pouring high-purity lead into square molds, surface-hardening with a special hardening method, and pressing with a hydraulic press at high tonnages. They are manufactured as interlocking male, female, and corner connection lead bricks with a smooth surface. Lead bricks can be painted in desired colors upon request. Our lead bricks are completely interlocking systems with a smooth and non-slip surface. The interlocking points' strength is increased through a special hardening method, providing a safe and 100% secure locking system. Lead bricks are used in highly active areas for radiation resistance.

 

STANDARD LEAD BRICKS ARE 50 MM X 100 MM X 100 MM IN SIZE. THEY ARE MANUFACTURED USING A PRESSING METHOD AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY CASTING VOIDS OR DEFECTS. WITH 6 DIFFERENT PRESSED MOLD OPTIONS, YOU CAN CARRY OUT SHIELDING APPLICATIONS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CUTTING PROCESSES.

 

LEAD BRICK APPLICATIONS: NUCLEAR MEDICINE, RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL

“%2 ANTIMONY-ALLOYED LEAD BRICKS ARE STRUCTURALLY MORE DURABLE THAN STANDARD LEAD BRICKS.”

 

Lead bricks must comply with TS 8030 ISO 7212 standards.

Lead bricks must be manufactured using a pressing method and should be void-free and smooth.

The outer surfaces of the lead bricks must be painted to prevent skin contact.

Lead analysis and certification must be conducted and documented by TSE.

The minimum density of lead bricks must be 10.9 g/cm³.

The amount of antimony added to the lead must comply with DIN l764l standards.

The minimum hardness for lead must be 9.5 HB.

Thickness tolerance must be 0.5 mm, and height and length tolerance must be 0.2 mm.

Inner and outer angle tolerance must be 0.15 degrees.

 

Lead products have various application features. For example, lead materials used in mosques or music rooms stand out for their specific properties. They are also widely used in the healthcare sector due to their radiation-blocking capabilities. Additionally, they are preferred in various engineering applications.

Lead bricks are used in nuclear and radiation therapy applications. Additionally, lead bricks can be produced and used in various sizes for radioactive isotope creation, ballast weights, and counterbalance purposes. 

 

Lead is easy to process. It can also be used in alloy form with other metals. Additionally, lead is resistant to corrosion and stands out for its silver color, making it aesthetically suitable for various applications. Today, its diverse uses can be observed. For these reasons, companies produce this product using various production techniques.

The interlocking design ensures there is no radiation leakage between bricks. When used to create a protected enclosure in a work area, lead bricks will be painted with antibacterial paint. When used to create a radiation-resistant wall, lead bricks will be delivered raw (unpainted).

 

Lead production involves different production techniques. The most common method is generally the production of lead in plate form. These plates can be produced in different thicknesses to provide the desired protective function. Additionally, brick-style production is also observed. Lead Brick production is typically chosen for shielding against high-radiation-emitting devices.

 

They are generally preferred in hot cell applications. Their use is observed in nuclear medicine. Lead brick usage, preferred in radiological production techniques and the pharmaceutical industry, provides more protection compared to plate production. Additionally, services tailored to various companies' expectations are offered for the use of these products.

 

Radiation is a highly dangerous material for human health. To protect against this characteristic of radiation, lead is often preferred for plate and brick-style production. Lead is especially chosen for safety in healthcare and scientific research. Lead shielding products, manufactured as thin plates, also stand out with broader and more extensive production methods in the form of bricks.
