X-Ray (Radiation Shielding) Glass
X-Ray leaded glass is a radiation shielding glass that contains a high content of heavy metallic oxides. Most notably the lead oxide (PbO) provides the protective qualities against X-rays and Y-rays for use in the medical and technical fields. Despite the high metallic oxide content, Radiation Shielding Glass features high optical transmission, making it a perfect fit for view windows for X-ray rooms.
