Premium Lead
High-Density Radiation Shielding Solutions
Lead ingots are solid blocks of lead that have been cast into a convenient shape for storage, transport, or further processing. Typically, they are produced by melting lead and pouring it into molds.

Applications
Lead continues to be a backbone of modern industries. Some of its most significant uses are:
Batteries
The most important use today; lead-acid batteries power cars, trucks, backup energy systems, and renewable energy storage.
Radiation Shielding
Due to its high density, lead protects against harmful X-rays and nuclear radiation, making it critical in hospitals, labs, and nuclear facilities.
Alloys
Combined with other metals, lead improves machinability and durability (e.g., in solder, bearing metals).
Construction
Used in roofing sheets, pipes, cable sheathing, and protective coatings due to its resistance to corrosion.
Ammunition
Lead is a key material in bullets and shot pellets.
Chemicals & Pigments
Historically used in paints, pigments, and glass (though restricted now for safety reasons).
