Frequently Asked Questions

The main differences between our product lines relate to:

• Medical Protection: Designed for healthcare environments with moderate radiation levels. These products typically feature lead equivalencies of 0.5-2.0mmPb, are aesthetically finished, and comply with healthcare facility standards.
• Industrial Protection: Engineered for industrial radiography and manufacturing settings with higher radiation levels. These products typically feature thicker lead (3-20mm) and are built for durability in industrial environments.
• Nuclear Protection: Our most robust shielding solutions, designed for nuclear facilities and laboratories. These feature multi-layer composite protection with attenuation coefficients ≥99.99% and specialized materials for neutron shielding when required.

Yes, we specialize in custom radiation protection solutions. We can manufacture lead sheets, barriers, and other shielding products to your exact specifications, including:

• Custom sizes and dimensions
• Special shapes and cutouts for equipment integration
• Various lead equivalencies based on your protection requirements
• Specialized finishes and coverings for different environments

Our engineering team can work with your facility plans to design and implement the optimal radiation protection solution for your specific needs.

We offer various finishes and coverings for our lead sheets to suit different applications:

• Vinyl Covering: Durable, easy-to-clean surface ideal for medical facilities
• Aluminum Cladding: Provides additional durability and fire resistance
• Stainless Steel Cladding: For high-hygiene environments or areas exposed to chemicals
• Gypsum Board Lamination: For seamless integration with standard wall construction
• Custom Finishes: Including decorative options to match your facility's aesthetic requirements

We maintain rigorous quality control throughout our manufacturing process:

• Material Testing: Each batch of raw materials undergoes composition and purity testing
• Production Quality Control: Continuous monitoring of thickness, density, and uniformity during manufacturing
• Radiation Attenuation Testing: Sample testing of finished products for radiation protection effectiveness
• Third-Party Verification: Regular independent laboratory testing and certification

Our lead times vary based on product type and customization requirements:

• Standard Products: 2-3 weeks from order confirmation
• Custom Products: 4-6 weeks from design approval
• Large Projects: 6-10 weeks depending on scope and complexity

For urgent requirements, we offer expedited production options at an additional cost. Please contact our sales team to discuss your timeline needs.

Yes, we ship our radiation protection products worldwide. Our shipping options include:

• Standard Ground Shipping: Available for domestic orders
• Express Shipping: 2-3 day delivery for urgent domestic orders
• International Air Freight: 7-14 days for international destinations
• Ocean Freight: Cost-effective option for large international orders (30-45 days)

All shipments include appropriate packaging for radiation protection materials, and we handle all necessary export documentation and compliance requirements for international shipments.

Our radiation protection materials require minimal maintenance:

• Routine Inspection: Visual inspection for any damage or wear (recommended annually)
• Cleaning: Surface cleaning with appropriate non-abrasive cleaners based on the finish type
• Radiation Testing: Periodic verification of radiation attenuation (typically every 2-5 years depending on regulatory requirements)

We offer maintenance service contracts that include regular inspections, testing, and documentation to ensure ongoing compliance with radiation safety standards.

If your radiation protection materials become damaged:

1. Contact our technical support team immediately
2. Document the damage with photographs
3. Restrict access to the area if there's potential for radiation exposure
4. Our team will assess the damage and recommend appropriate repairs

Depending on the extent of damage, repairs may include:

• Patching with compatible radiation protection materials
• Replacement of damaged sections
• Complete replacement if structural integrity is compromised

All repairs are performed to maintain the original radiation protection specifications and are verified through testing.

Yes, all our radiation protection products are delivered with comprehensive documentation, including:

• Certificate of Compliance: Confirming adherence to applicable standards
• Material Test Reports: Detailing composition and radiation attenuation properties
• Quality Assurance Documentation: Records of testing performed during manufacturing
• Installation Verification: For products installed by our teams

This documentation is essential for regulatory inspections and facility accreditation processes. We maintain records of all certifications and can provide duplicates upon request.

We are committed to environmental responsibility and safety:

• Lead-Free Options: We offer lead-free radiation protection materials for environmentally sensitive applications
• Encapsulated Lead: Our lead-based products are fully encapsulated to prevent exposure to lead
• End-of-Life Management: We provide guidance on proper disposal and recycling of radiation protection materials
• RoHS Compliance: Where applicable, our products comply with Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives
• REACH Compliance: Our products adhere to EU regulations for chemical safety

We continuously research and develop more environmentally friendly radiation protection solutions while maintaining the highest standards of radiation safety.
