HIGH-DENSITY
CONCRETE

Marshield’s interlocking high density concrete block is an excellent
choice where space is limited. We can provide high density concrete
blocks up to 300 pounds per cubic foot. High density concrete gives
a composite shield for both neutron and gamma radiation. High
density aggregates are the key ingredient in high density concrete.
The most common aggregates used to achieve the required densities
are Hematite (Fe2O3), Ilmenite (FeO TiO2), Magnetite (Fe3O4) and
Steel Aggregate.
