Lead is used to provide shield from the radiation. To make slender the radiation, lead can effectively work because of its high density and high atomic number nature. Lead can control the harmful rays like x-rays, gamma rays and alpha rays. It is more important to understand that lead can stop some particular kind of rays to the some extent but it is not effective against all types of radiation sometimes. When high energy electrons including beta radiation comes in the way to Lead creates a dangerous radiation called bremsstrahlung which is more harmful to the original one. Moreover, lead is not a effective absorber of neutron radiation
Bindal Metals & Minerals is one of the unique companies who provides solutions for Radiation Shielding and supply of Lead products and services.
