FAQ

Can you customize special specifications of lead rods?

Requirements such as diameter, length, purity, surface treatment, etc. need to be provided, and some need to pay for molds or meet the minimum order quantity.

Can the dimensions of the lead plate be customized?

Sure, the size specifications of lead plates can usually be customized according to the specific needs of customers. Both length, width, and thickness can be produced according to requirements to meet the installation and usage requirements of different projects.

What are the common thicknesses of lead plates?

Common lead plate thicknesses include 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, etc. Of course, lead plates of other special thicknesses can also be customized according to different application needs.

What is the density of lead sheet?

The density of lead is about 11.34 g/cm3, and the density of the lead plate is roughly in this range, which makes the lead plate have a good ability to shield rays.

What are the main components of lead sheet?

The main component of lead sheet is metal lead, which usually contains a small amount of other elements, such as antimony, tin, etc., to improve the performance of lead sheet.
