Lead glass

Our lead glass provides optimum protection against x-rays in both medical and industrial applications.

The lead oxide content is more than 65 percent by weight and a relatively thin sheet of glass can achieve the density necessary to shield against ionising radiation.

Lead glass meets the requirements of IEC 1331-2 and DIN 6841.

Typical Lead glass products:

• Plate glass for x-ray screens, windows etc.

• Polished vials for shielded syringes.

• Windows for gloves boxes.

• Vision panels for lead lined doors.
