MarShield Lead brick shielding provides the best choice for construction where temporary, permanent shields or storage areas are required, offering you the flexibility in your design and construction choices.

Cast from 99.94% pure virgin high quality lead as a standard or when more hardness in the bricks is required antimony is added. Our bricks are relatively smooth, clean and have a non-porous surface.

Lead bricks can be used for walls, coves, glove-boxes, hot cells or partitions, the transportation of radioactive materials, and nuclear shielding or simply as ballast weight.
