Lead plate

Jamestown lead plates are flexible, high-density materials engineered for applications requiring precise conformity and reliable performance. Ideal for radiation shielding, lining systems, and construction uses, they deliver consistent thickness, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation across demanding environments.

Available Sizes

• Plate lead Thicknesses – from  1/4” to 5” thick, custom thicknesses available
• Plate length and width – cut to length and width per your specification

Options

• Custom fabrication is available to your specification.
• Rabbeted and bevel edges available

Material Grades, Alloys & Purity

• Pure/corroding Grade (Grade B) – Typically 99.5% lead, suitable for general applications where formability and basic performance are required
• Chemical Grade (Grade C) – Typically 99.9% lead (copper bearing), offering improved corrosion resistance and strength for more demanding environments
• Antimonial (Hard) Lead – Contains approximately 5-7% antimony, increasing strength, hardness, and structural performance

Applications

• Radiation Shielding – Medical, dental, Nuclear, NDT, Industrial and laboratory environments
• Roofing & Flashing – Waterproofing and weather protection
• Vessel Lining – Corrosion-resistant barriers
• Soundproofing – Noise reduction in commercial and industrial settings
• Construction – Shielding, sound dampening, and specialized building applications

Specifications

• QQ-L-201 (Grades B & C) – Federal specification for lead sheet and plate
• ASTM B749 (L50049 & L51121) – Standard specifications for lead and lead alloy sheet and plate
