Lead Seals vs Lead Wool
These are two distinct products for two distinct jobs — securing a tamper-evident closure, versus packing a mechanical joint.
Lead Seals
Crimped or pressed onto sealing wire to create a tamper-evident closure for containers, meters and customs applications — sized to match your sealing wire gauge.
Lead Wool
Fine lead fibre used to pack pipe joints and caulk seams where a dense, malleable filler material is needed, a traditional plumbing and pipefitting material.
Construction Types Available
Crimp Seals
Standard lead seal form crimped onto sealing wire.
Lead Wool
Supplied loose or in coils for joint packing.
Where Lead Seals and Wool Is Used
Packaging
Lead seals are supplied boxed by quantity; lead wool is supplied by weight. Confirm seal size (matched to your sealing wire gauge) or wool quantity before ordering.
Common Questions
What size lead seal do I need?
Lead seal size must match the gauge of the sealing wire you're using — confirm your wire gauge when ordering so we can supply matching seals.
