Lead Lined Glass For
Radiation Protection

Lead Glass Products are used for radiation shielding in which both visibility and protection are important. They are used extensively in medical facilities for X-ray rooms, CT scans, and radiation therapy. It is also utilized in laboratories, industrial settings, and research environments where radiation protection is crucial.

Lead glass is a type of glass that contains a significant amount of lead oxide.

The lead oxide in lead glass enhances its density, making it an effective shield against ionizing radiation. Lead glass is transparent, allowing for visibility while providing protection.

Lead glass is valued for its transparency, allowing you visibility while providing you with effective radiation shielding. It is often preferred in applications where both visibility and protection are essential, such as in hospital x-ray rooms.

Yes, our lead glass is customizable to meet your specific size and thickness requirements. Customization ensures that the lead glass seamlessly integrates into diverse settings, accommodating the unique needs of each application.

We pride ourselves in being able to fabricate your lead glass product in 3 days, and from there our shipping can take 1-4 business days, therefore we aim to have your order on your doorstep within a week of ordering.

Lead equivalency (often expressed in mm Pb) determines the thickness of pure lead needed to provide the same level of radiation protection as lead lined glass. A higher lead equivalency means better radiation shielding.

You will need to check with your local health official or radiation physicist to determine the required lead shielding for your room.

It largely depends on the type of radiation and the lead equivalency of the glass. It's essential to ensure the glass is designed to shield against the specific radiation you'll be working with. Therefore, consultation from your radiation physicist is essential before ordering.

No, not in its solid form within the glass. The lead is safely embedded and does not pose a risk.

The cost varies depending on size, lead equivalency, and any customization requirements.

Our lead glass meets Federal Specification DD-G-451, ASTM C1036, NCRP Report #49, NCRP Report #147, and ICRP lead glass criteria and standards.

• Firstly you must verify the lead equivalency meets the shielding requirements of the room and all radiation shielding calculations must be determined by a radiation physicist.
• Payment will be required to begin fabrication.
• Once fabrication begins, no cancellations or changes may take place.
• By placing this order and paying you accept and have verified sizes, quantities, lead equivalency, and accept the terms for shipping / receiving and returns / replacement.
• All products must be inspected upon delivery in the presence of the delivery driver. Once the product is received and the delivery receipt is signed, no claims for damage will be entertained. If there is damage, note it on the delivery receipt and contact us immediately.
• Our products can only ship to a commercial address. We cannot ship to residential addresses.
