X-ray glass is an essential safety tool designed to protect against harmful radiation while maintaining clear visibility. Known for its durability, versatility, and exceptional shielding properties, X-ray glass plays a vital role in medical, industrial, and even security settings. One of the industry-leading products in this field is LX-57B X-Ray Shielding Lead Glass, which stands out for its advanced features and reliability.
What Makes LX-57B X-Ray Glass Special?
1. Superior Radiation Protection
At the heart of LX-57B’s design is its ability to shield against X-rays effectively. Made with over 60% heavy metal oxide, including at least 55% PbO (lead oxide), this glass serves as a powerful barrier to harmful radiation, ensuring the safety of professionals and patients alike.
2. Crystal-Clear Clarity
One of the standout features of X-ray glass is its optical-grade quality. Its polished surfaces provide distortion-free, clear visibility, which is critical for tasks requiring precision and attention to detail. Unlike some materials, LX-57B does not discolor over time due to radiation exposure, ensuring long-term usability.
3. Durability You Can Rely On
With a surface hardness rated at Level 6 on Moh’s scale (comparable to feldspar in granite), LX-57B is highly scratch-resistant and built to withstand frequent use in busy environments. Whether in a bustling hospital or a high-traffic laboratory, this glass holds up to daily demands.
Versatility in Thickness and Applications
We provide X-ray glass in several thicknesses to meet diverse requirements:
- LX7 (7 mm): Standard for most X-ray applications.
- LX9 (9 mm): Suitable for higher radiation levels, such as fluoroscopic or cancer treatment facilities.
- LX14, LX15, LX17 (14-17 mm): Specialized options for even more demanding environments.
Each thickness corresponds to specific radiation protection levels, with lead equivalence ranging from 1.6 mm to 3.2 mm, and is suitable for installations in hospitals, laboratories, airports, and even security screens.
For applications requiring added safety, LX-57B is available in laminated configurations or with impact-resistant surface films.
Ideal Settings for X-Ray Glass
X-ray glass is indispensable in environments where radiation exposure needs to be controlled. Some of the ideal settings include:
- Hospitals and Medical Facilities: Used in X-ray rooms, operating rooms, and diagnostic imaging centers to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals and patients.
- Cancer Treatment Centers: Installed in facilities offering radiation therapy to protect against high radiation levels.
- Laboratories: Provides a safe viewing area in environments where X-ray equipment or other radiation sources are used.
- Airports and Security Checkpoints: Ideal for protective screens in baggage scanning equipment and other radiation-based security systems.
- Industrial Facilities: Used in non-destructive testing and inspection areas to safeguard workers.
By offering protection and visibility, LX-57B enhances safety in these critical settings without compromising on functionality.
Care and Maintenance Tips
While X-ray glass is durable, its high lead content makes it slightly more susceptible to staining than ordinary glass. Proper care ensures longevity:
- Avoid sticking tape or adhesives directly on the surface during installation.
- Use alcohol and a dry cloth for cleaning—never water.
- Wipe with a clean, dry cloth after using alcohol to remove any residue.
By following these steps, you can maintain the glass’s clarity and protective properties.
