Using lead shot for radiation shielding? Visit our MarShield website for comprehensive information.
Mars Metal provides lead shot as an easy, cost-effective solution for areas where solid lead is impractical, due to location, shape, or accessibility. Applications include ballast, stress testing, vibration control, noise deadening, and radiation shielding.
We stock lead shot in standard 25 lb. canvas bags. For added strength and durability, we also offer lead shot in bags manufactured of 600 Denier vinyl coated black nylon or ballistic nylon to meet rigid fire rating specs.
Our standard lead shot is #8 (.09”/2.29mm diameter). Density is approximately 436 lbs. per cubic foot.
