Radiation shielding glass

Product Introduction
Our lead glass is produced from a high-lead optical glass formulation containing approximately 20% PbO. Designed for medical radiation-shielding applications, it combines very high light transmittance with a high specific gravity, chemical stability and a pinhole-free, bubble-free structure for long service life and reliable visibility.

Product Performance

• Commonly used for radiation-shielded observation windows, control-room glazing and X-ray protection partitions.
• Manufactured to meet cleanliness and hygienic standards required in hospitals and clinical facilities.
• Formulated by integrating a high proportion of lead oxide into the glass melt to achieve required shielding levels.
• Optically clear, free of impurities and air inclusions to ensure undistorted viewing.
• Rigid structure with stable mechanical properties suitable for framed installations and protective panels.
• Quality-controlled production with inspection and test reports available; compliant with protective standards for diagnostic X-ray environments.
