The Right Tools for the Job
Radiation Sleeving, Protective Bags, And Containment Sheeting
When it comes to the safe handling, control, and disposal of radioactive or contaminated materials, you need the right tools and supplies to meet the needs of your particular job. Lancs Industries provides a wide range of radiation sleeving, protective bags, containment sheeting, and other products that meet the highest performance standards and the most stringent quality control criteria.
Our practical and efficient radiation protection solutions can be customized for any use or application and are made to order based on your specified thickness, finish, and color. We’re happy to discuss with you the nature of your project and recommend the best mix of materials for your requirements. Feel free to contact us today or request a quote to get the process started! We also offer a wide range of radiation protection products including lead radiation shielding and lead-free radiation shielding products!
Sleeving
Radiation sleeving can be used to move contaminated items, protect operators and equipment from contamination, or contain items for disposal. Our sleeving is constructed with a heat-sealed lap seam and can be fabricated in rolls of customizable lengths and dimensions. You have the additional option to embed a lanyard for cord or hose insertion and removal.
Bags
Save time and streamline logistics with radiation protection bags that can be fabricated to any dimensions for efficient adaptation to your project. Choose from multiple color options for identification purposes and waste-sorting. Materials range from PVC, PU, PE, Reinforced PE, Laminate, or woven fabrics, and we can advise you as to which materials or combination of materials will best suit your specific needs.
Sheeting
Radiation sheeting can be constructed according to any desired thickness, dimension, and opacity to enable precise control in managing sensitive materials. Containment sheeting can be easily adapted to diverse scenarios, offering a reliable and customizable solution to ensure safety and radiation protection at your facility.
Sleeving
Widely used in the handling of contaminated items, sleeving is a staple ALARA tool. Proper use of sleeving facilitates the transfer of objects between containments, protecting tools from contamination, or packaging items for disposal.
Lancs constructs sleeving with an electronically heat-sealed lap seam. Sleeving is provided in rolls, with 100 feet as the standard length per roll. We make rolls to your specified length as well. Sleeving can also be provided with an enbedded lanyard to facilitate insertion of cords or hoses into the sleeving and to make sleeving removal easier.

Our products help you control and dispose of radioactive or contaminated material in a safe manner with the proper technique and supplies.
Bags
All bags are not alike. Custom-specified bag dimensions and material will often enable a job to be accomplished more quickly and effectively than trying to adapt an off-the-shelf bag to your project’s unique needs.
Lancs’ flexible fabrication processes allow us to provide bags of virtually any dimension required.
Materials can be PVC, PU, PE, Reinforced PE, Laminate, or woven fabrics depending on your performance requirements and disposal constraints. We can also include flaps, snaps, grommets, bungee cord, track zip lock, or printing as needed for each bag.

Printed bags are available in PE and Reinforced PE.
SHEETING
We can provide film or containment sheet for any of the materials used by Lancs for its products. PVC, PU, Laminated Material, Reinforced PE, or other woven fabrics can all be shipped directly to you for your own fabrication efforts or containment projects.
Orders for roll goods require a description of roll item desired rather than a product number. Descriptions should specify:
• Type of material
• Finish
• Thickness or Weight of material
• Color
• Width and Length or overall weight of roll
• Special Formulation Requirements
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
PVC is in the form of an unsupported film that exhibits excellent flexibility and strength. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses, finishes, and colors, with the most common provided by Lancs shown below. It can be electronically heat-sealed to weld together.
| THICKNESS
(mil = gauge =.001 inch) |
FINISH | COLOR |
|---|---|---|
| 4 mil | Transparent, Translucent or Opaque | Yellow |
| 8 mil | Transparent, Translucent or Opaque | Yellow, Clear or Green |
| 12 mil | Transparent or Translucent | Yellow or Clear |
| 20 mil | Double Polished | Yellow, Clear or Green |
Lancs can also provide special formulations of PVC that comply with particular specifications
• NFPA 701 - Fire Retardancy
• ASTM 1593 - PVC Sheet Physical Properties
• L-P-375 - PVC Sheet Physical Properties
• SS-481 - PVC Bags, Tubing, and Sheet Physical Properties
• MIL-STD-2041 - Detrimental Material Control
Polyurethane (PU)
PU is in the form of an unsupported film that exhibits superior toughness and durability. Since PU does not contain Chlorides, it is safe to incinerate for disposal. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses, finishes, and colors, with the most common provided by Lancs shown below. It can be electronically heat-sealed to weld together.
| THICKNESS
(mil = gauge =.001 inch) |
FINISH | COLOR |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mil | Transparent, Translucent or Opaque | Yellow, Clear or Green |
| 8 mil | Transparent, Translucent or Opaque | Yellow, Clear or Green |

Lancs can also provide special formulations of PU that comply with particular specifications.
• NFPA 701 - Fire Retardancy
• MIL-STD 2041 - Detrimental Material Control
• SS-507 - Polyether Polyurethane
Polyethylene (PE)
PE is in the form of an unsupported film that offers outstanding water and chemical resistance at an economical cost. It does not contain Chlorides and is safe to incinerate for disposal. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses, finishes, and colors, with the most common provided by Lancs shown below. It cannot be electronically heat-sealed; it must be thermally heat-sealed to weld together.
| THICKNESS
(mil = gauge =.001 inch) |
FINISH | COLOR |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 mil | Transparent | Clear |
| 2 mil | Translucent | Yellow |

Lancs also provides Reinforced PE material. This is PE sheeting with embedded nylon braiding for added strength. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and properties and can be provided as sheeting, bags, or sleeving.
Laminated Material
Laminated material is comprised of a base cloth with a woven or knit open mesh made from either nylon or polyester which is bonded between two layers of vinyl film (PVC). The resulting material has one side that is smoother and one side that is textured with the mesh pattern of the base cloth. It can be electronically heat-sealed to weld together. (Laminated material can also be made with Polyurethane instead of PVC.)
Unlike unsupported films, laminated material is measured by weight (ounces per square yard) rather than thickness. It is available in a range of weights and colors, with all material being opaque.
