Lead glass protects from radiation because of the content of lead integrated into the glass. It is used within healthcare, industry and science.
X-ray protective glass shall have the same equivalence of lead as the rest of the protected area in which it is used. I.e. if the room has 2mm lead in the walls, the lead glass needs to have the same equivalence.
There are different kinds of lead glass, with different density and/or thicknesses. See the table below for details.
Fast delivery
Radiation Shielding AB stores lead glass in stock, which means we can offer very short delivery times.
Large dimensions
We can deliver one of the largest lead glass on the market, measuring up to 1200×2600 mm for x-ray protection.
