Ledite - Radiation Shielding System

Ledite is a modular, pre-engineered system that combines excellent structural strength with a high level of resistance to radiation. It is an ultra-high density block superior to conventional concrete, high-density concrete, lead, and any other material commonly used for shield against both neutron and gamma or X-ray radiation.

Ledite successfully bridges the gap between lead and concrete, providing exceptional protection characteristics without the drawbacks of concrete construction. Ledite is up to 1 1/2 times more effective than concrete at stopping X-ray and gamma radiation and also is better at containing neutron radiation.

Additional 3,000 sq.ft. of space for patient care or other services

These superior shielding properties allow most Ledite therapy rooms to be built in less than half the space required by conventional concrete vaults, while the product's interlocking-block configuration allows rooms to be built in as little as one-third the time.

No Second floor penetration

Unlike concrete, there is no second-floor penetration. This eliminates expensive structural details and can open up significant amounts of space for other services.

The compact nature of Ledite allows convenient placement into existing facilities without the need to alter the building structure. Ledite provides superior space savings without compromising shielding effectiveness.

There is no faster way to achieve the earliest patient care than building with Ledite.

Simpler and Faster by far

Compared with traditional concrete methods, Ledite eliminates expensive rebar work and time consuming curing time. It goes up in a fraction of the time and can be easily adapted to accommodate ductwork and other infrastructure. Everything about a Ledite installation is significantly faster and simpler than a concrete installation.

Install at any stage of construction

Since Ledite is a modular block and can be installed at any stage of construction, it takes the room installation off the critical construction path. Ledite can be installed without disrupting other services. Overall construction can continue without having to schedule around the room construction.
