Lead Shot
Calder’s lead shot is manufactured using a state of the art automated shot spinning plant and then machine graded to guarantee consistency of size and quality.
In addition to its consumer applications our fine grade lead shot has many commercial uses; it is blended with epoxy resin and used as ballast, mixed into concrete to provide radiation shielding and used in the manufacture of free machining steel.
Our lead shot is available from 0.4mm to 7.0mm in diameter (see table below for full details of our standard range). Alternative sizes can be manufactured if required, please
contact us for a Quotation.
