What is radiation shielding? Lead sheet and lead bricks provide effective radiation shielding for electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation in the high frequency range is known as x-ray radiation or gamma ray radiation. The radiation shielding effect is due to the high atomic weight of lead and the corresponding heavy nuclei contained within. Lead sheets of … Read more

X-Ray Glass windows are designed to provide a transparent and protective shield against X-Ray radiation. Lead Glass can be used in any facility which requires protection from x-ray radiation. Leaded glass and X-Ray glass is typically mounted into a lead lined frame built into a door or a wall. High lead content gives optimum shielding … Read more
Lead glass or X-ray glass is a form of glass that has lead oxide inculcated into it during the manufacturing process. Lead glass is effective for x-ray shielding and for other forms of radiation shielding due to the attenuation of ionizing photons as a result of lead’s high atomic number. The attenuation of radiation increases … Read more
