LEAD LINED PLYWOOD Lead Lined Plywood Many types of plywood are available upon request. We can readily offer 5/8" and 3/4" thick fire treated plywood meeting or exceeding the following specifications: Just like Lead Lined Drywall, you must account for the shielding of all penetrations, seams and cut outs in the Lead Lined Plywood. If the Lead Lined Plywood is cut to • ASTM D5516 the on-center stud dimensions, Lead Angles of the same lead thickness and height • ASTM D5564 will shield all the joints and fastener penetrations. The cut outs (receptacles, light • ASTM E-84 switches, etc.) will need to have shielding behind them as well to ensure total protection. We also offer CDX, Pyro-Guard, HI-ABUSE® and HI-IMPACT® FIRE-SHIELD WALLBOARD, best used with our Lead Angles. Lead Lined Plywood is typically recommended with heavier lead shielding requirements, usually when the lead shielding exceeds 1/8" thick. Lead Lined Plywood at these thicknesses becomes very heavy to handle in full sheet form (4' x 8'). We recommend having us cut the Lead Lined Plywood into widths that equal your on-center stud dimensions (e.g. 12" or 16"). This will make the Lead Lined Plywood much more manageable for the installer. Example: 1 sheet of 3/4" x 4' x 8' plywood with 1/4" lead lining to 7' weighs approx. 505 lbs. 1 sheet of 3/4" x 16" x 8' plywood with 1/4" lead lining to 7' weighs approx. 168 lbs.

A-36 steel flat bars are used for the stiles and the reinforcement inside the door. Flat bar thicknesses for the stiles and reinforcement are dictated by the core of the door. The core of the door will consist of the shielding requirements (typically lead and borated polyethylene) as determined by a licensed physicist. We can also design the door with extra space inside for future upgrades which may require more shielding. The radiation shielding door (neutron door) finish is completed in the factory with a paint grade primer. RPP offers safety features for the door such as motion sensors, pressure sensitive tape, and battery backup. I-Beams are used in conjunction with trolleys that suspend the door. For new construction, concrete embedments are used for support. For retrofits, steel beams and steel columns are used.
