Knauf 13mm X-BLOCK Plasterboard

GIB X-Block® is a lead-free plasterboard and jointing compound system engineered for X-ray radiation shielding in walls and ceilings. The board contains barium sulphate, which forms an effective barrier against X-ray radiation, and when used with the matching X-Block® jointing compound it provides consistent, lead equivalent joints for a uniform shield. The system also offers sound insulation performance as part of a robust lining solution.

• Lead-free X-ray radiation protection with barium sulphate core
• Uniform radiation barrier when installed with X-Block® jointing compound
• As easy to install and joint as standard plasterboard
• Enhances sound insulation performance in lining systems
• Eliminates complex procedures associated with lead-based solutions
• Manufactured to quality standards with consistent engineering performance

Applications
• X-ray diagnostic rooms in medical facilities
• Dental clinics and veterinary practice X-ray rooms
• Walls and partitions requiring radiation shielding
• Internal ceilings where uniform X-ray protection is needed
• Any project requiring a lead-free protective lining system
