Lead Sponge

Product Information

Lead sponges are cellular structures composed of a large number of pores and high porosity - 75-95% of the volume is empty. Lead sponges are produced by injecting gas into molten metal or by mixing a blowing agent that creates foam and stabilizes the foam with a high temperature blowing agent. Sponges' properties include low density, high stiffness, high energy absorption, low thermal conductivity, low permeability, fire resistance and sound absorption. Lead sponges are widely used in heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion and light optics. Ceramic foams are commonly used for thermal insulation, sound insulation, adsorption of environmental contaminants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as substrates for catalysts requiring large internal surface areas. More technical, research and Safety (MSDS) information is available.

ATT is a professional supplier of Lead Sponge, and we also manufacture tablets, balls, ingots, balls, sheets, powders, rods, threads, sputtering targets, and many other forms and custom shapes. Other shapes are available upon request.

Applications of Lead Sponge

Lead is still widely used for car batteries, pigments, ammunition, cable sheathing, weights for lifting, weight belts for diving, lead crystal glass, radiation protection and in some solders. It is often used to store corrosive liquids.

Packing of Lead Sponge

Standard Packing:

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L)s quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’Lead Sponge is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
