Lead Foil

Goodfellow’s lead foil, also known as lead sheet, is fabricated from high-purity lead (CAS No. 7439-92-1) using precision rolling and thermal treatment processes that yield a consistently uniform and dense material. Renowned for its excellent malleability, high density, and superior radiation shielding properties, this lead foil is quintessential in applications requiring robust radiation protection, acoustic damping, and electromagnetic interference reduction. Furthermore, its impressive resistance to corrosion and chemical attack underpins its role in the construction, nuclear, and industrial processing sectors, as well as in medical imaging and environmental remediation. At Goodfellow, our lead foils are produced under strict quality control conditions to ensure optimal performance in both demanding industrial operations and specialized research applications. Engineered for reliability and durability, our lead foils provides an ideal solution for engineers and designers seeking advanced materials that combine outstanding functional properties with versatile application potential across a spectrum of high-performance industries.
