HOME
What about Lead Material?

• Traditional lead rubber sheeting has been

used for over 60 years for making protection
apparel.

• Even in 21st century, lead continues to be an

excellent x-ray protection material.

• It is particularly useful in procedures that last

a short period eg for a conventional x-ray.

HOME
Why are some Lead Materials
heavier than others?
Leaded protective material can be made in many ways:

1. 1st generation protective materials used Lead Oxide rather than with
Lead powder. Weight of oxide is unnecessarily adds to apron
weight. This process is used in making over 60-70% of lead
protective material even after over 60 years . This type of material
is used by a large number of manufacturers all over the world as it
is the cheapest material.

2. New technology developed in mid 80s used Lead powder instead of lead
oxide.

3. If the lead powder contains a high percentage of impurity ,weight of

product will be that much higher.

4. Furthermore, in both lead oxide and lead powder, binding material

(typically rubber or vinyl) is used to make sheeting.
a. In most materials this is nearly 20% of the weight of lead or
lead oxide.
b. In the new generation materials this is only 10-12% of the
weight of lead powder. Kiran’s LEADLITE is the best of such
material developed after extensive research and development
with its proprietary formulations .

Why Light Lead?

Long hours of wearing a heavier

apron particularly during surgeries
and in cathlab leads to discomfort,
pain and risk of back problems.

Light weight aprons reduce the load

on the back and provide relief.

HOME
Why is Light Lead lighter than Lead?

Certain elements of the periodic table

have good X-ray blocking properties
similar to that of Lead. Eg: Tin, Antimony,
Bismuth, Tungsten

An optimum combination of several such

elements in a mixture with pure lead
powder results in approximate 30% lower
weight compared to conventional lead
sheeting.

Why do we need No Lead?

Lead is toxic, carcinogenic

and harmful to the
environment.

The need is for a radiation
