What is Lead Glass?

Lead glass (radiation shielding glass) provides excellent protection against gamma and X-rays. When it comes to protection from harmful radiation, no compromise can be made. For this reason, more and more customers in the fields of medicine, science, and industry are using high-quality and secure radiation shielding glass of German origin. Siemens, Toshiba, and many other major companies prefer the use of high-quality lead glass.
 
Lead glasses must have a serial number and a quality certificate. This is of great importance for occupational health and safety, especially in areas where radiation can directly contact workers.
 
It is the only brand in Germany that produces and directly processes lead glass (radiation-protective glass) expertly.
 
Thanks to its high density, it offers high X-ray absorption and fully complies with the requirements of the German Institute for Standardization, European Standardization, and the International Electrotechnical Commission. Standard-size lead glasses are constantly in stock. For special-size orders, production can be carried out in Germany, and they can be delivered within a maximum of 25 days.
 
Lead glass (radiation-protective glass) provides clear visibility while protecting against gamma and X-ray radiation. DR-2 is used for low-voltage X-ray tubes, while DR-6® is designed with advanced technology to withstand high-voltage X-rays and gamma radiation. This makes both products an ideal option for finding highly flexible solutions in hospitals, medical offices, and research laboratories.
 
Using its own frame with fully lead-coated internal metal construction, lead glass prevents potential assembly errors and leaks from the glass frame. Lead glass frames, which can be produced in the desired color with static paint, are manufactured with frame shielding at a specific lead thickness according to the values of the device used.
 
Lead glasses are delivered to you in a protected crate.
 
The person installing lead glass must follow the specific installation instruction document and user manual.
 
LEAD GLASSES WITHOUT A SPECIFIED MANUFACTURER CAN LEAK RADIATION, CAUSING DIRECT EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION!!
 
Our lead glasses are prepared for shipment in fully protected wooden crates.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING LEAD GLASS?

The lead glasses you purchase should have the manufacturer’s information and the glass's protection value engraved on the corner during manufacturing. Using lead glasses without these engravings can result in dangerous consequences, exposing personnel in the control room to high levels of direct radiation. This can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
 
Control room windows, which are used as protective equipment directly for human health, should be made using high-quality lead glass. The product's manufacturer information, origin, and protection value must be engraved on it.
 
Due to its high density and solid structure compared to other types of glass, lead glass must be installed with a shielded and protective frame. The most suitable frame material is steel. Steel frames are armored with lead of equivalent thickness to the lead glass, ensuring radiation insulation and blocking any potential leaks from the frame.
 
Lead is a natural material used in various industrial and healthcare applications due to its unique properties. One of lead's fundamental characteristics is its resistance to radiation. As an easily processable material, lead is preferred by lead manufacturers for different purposes. Lead glass is an example of its versatile usage. This natural material is widely used due to its ease of extraction and superior properties.
 
Lead glass products have various applications both in our country and worldwide. They are commonly used in healthcare settings where radiation is applied, thanks to their high light transmittance and radiation absorption properties. They are preferred materials in radiological imaging techniques and contribute to protecting human health with these properties.
 

Areas of Use for Lead Glass

The primary area of use for lead glass is healthcare. In addition, it is also preferred in various laboratories. Its ability to block radiation while posing no visual problems has led to its widespread use. Lead glass holds an important place in the healthcare sector.
 
This product is used in the design of radiotherapy rooms in healthcare settings and can also be used in observation rooms due to its transparency and ability to transmit light. It is currently used for various purposes, often preferred for its visibility and ability to contain environmental hazards. It is also the primary product used in laboratories for observation purposes.
