Other Industrial Technology APplications
Lead has a high electrical conductivity, which is why it is widely used in the production of car batteries. In fact, the automotive industry is the largest consumer of lead, accounting for an estimated 80% of all lead produced globally.
Due to the versatility of lead, it is commonly used across numerous other industries that include aerospace, healthcare, ammunition, and the building construction industry. The following details a few highlights of the added versatility for lead applications
Lead Sheet, Lead Plates, Lead Foil, Cadmium Sheet
In industries such as aerospace, nuclear energy, and healthcare, lead foil is a highly effective sound insulator and is often used in buildings, especially in areas where noise levels need to be controlled.
Bullet Lead for Ammunition
Lead has long been used in the production of ammunition due to its high density, low cost, and ability to deform upon impact.
Lead Sheet for X-Ray shielding
Lead is commonly used to line the walls and ceilings of X-ray rooms and protective gear to protect patients and medical staff from exposure to harmful radiation.
