Lead Foil (Light Tight)

Lead foil, also referred to as light-tight lead sheeting, is a highly versatile material known for its exceptional density, malleability, and radiation attenuation properties. These attributes make it an essential component in industries such as healthcare, where it is utilized in X-ray rooms and radiation therapy facilities, and in industrial settings for shielding against gamma and X-ray radiation. Its flexibility also allows it to be used in the chemical and energy sectors as a protective barrier against corrosive substances and ionizing radiation. Additionally, lead foil’s light-tight characteristic ensures its effectiveness in applications requiring strict light exclusion, such as in scientific instruments. Goodfellow provides high-quality lead foil designed to meet the stringent demands of these industries, ensuring both safety and performance. By choosing Goodfellow’s lead foil, customers gain access to a reliable solution tailored for critical applications requiring superior shielding capabilities.
