About lead

Lead is very dense (about 11.34 g/cm³) and soft, melting at about 327 °C. Its density makes it effective for radiation shielding and compact ballast, and its softness suits seals and caulking. It is toxic, so handle it with care.

Typical uses
  • X-ray and radiography shielding
  • Ballast and weights
  • Tamper-evident seals and caulking
