lead foil
Thin metallic shielding
Lead foil is lead metal rolled or hammered into thin, flexible sheets.
Historically used for lining tea chests, wrapping food, and in early photography, it has largely been replaced by aluminum foil due to lead's toxicity.
Lead foil still appears in specialized applications like radiation shielding and certain industrial processes.
