Solutions for People and Technology

Lead was already recognised by Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen, who discovered x-rays, as an ideal material for radiation protection. Even today, lead is still the most cost-effactive method for shielding against radiation – particularly against X-rays and gamma rays. The positive properties of lead as a material speak for themselves:

• Its high atomic number, i.e. high density
• The fact that lead cannot be activated by neutrons
• Good maleability
• Cost effective compared to equivalent shielding materials
• High recycling potential and value

For decades Röhr + Stolberg GmbH has been one of the leading producers of lead products for radiation protection and soundproofing. By continually updating our systems, our certified quality management guarantee you products of the highest technical level.

We have a wide range of modern extrusion presses, mould and die-casting machines, we manufacture our own dies and have a wide variety of options for mechanical processing. That is how we create optimum radiation protection solutions to fit your needs exactly.
