The Gib X-Block® system is a unique lead-free plasterboard and jointing compound designed for X-ray radiation protection. The lead-free plasterboard contains barium sulphate, which forms an effective barrier against X-ray radiation. The jointing compound used on the Gib X-Block® plasterboard is designed to give lead equivalent joints on walls and ceilings and provides a uniform X-ray radiation barrier.

The Gib X-Block® system also offers high sound insulation performance.

Benefits include:

• Lead-free X-ray radiation protection.
• As easy to install, joint as standard plasterboard.
• Eliminates the need for complex installation procedures usually associated with installing lead-based lining solutions.
• Enhances other important performance requirements such as noise control and fire ratings.
