Lead glass is not ordinary glass; it not only has good performance but also has radiation protection effects. Therefore, it performs well in terms of installation temperature in radiology and industrial laboratories. Recognizing that some treatment methods or experimental components used in various chambers may contain available radioactive materials, choosing high-quality lead glass can provide greater insight and better protection.
Currently, lead glass can be seen in many hospitals or fixed healthcare institutions. Due to the different compositions of lead glass, there are significant differences in their essential uses. Generally speaking, lead glass has radiation-resistant properties and can effectively prevent electromagnetic fields. So do you know what the main characteristics of lead glass are?

Lead glass is also known as medical X-ray radiation protective lead glass plate in the medical field. Lead glass is mainly divided into domestic lead glass and imported lead glass. It is primarily used in diagnostic X-ray rooms, CT, ECT, PET, CTPET rooms, observation windows on X-ray shooting protection rooms, protective doors and screens, and nuclear medicine operation protective screens.
The radiation protection effect differs from the lead glass used in hospitals because it has better radiation protection effects; the edges of the glass have a large amount of lead added, resulting in relatively high lead density and efficiency. Harmful substances reappear, so large hospitals perform well, and operation centers promise effectiveness. When using lead glass, attention should be paid to these aspects of the surface. If not protected properly, slight mold spots may appear, adversely affecting the environment. It is used for alcohol-free wiping. Additionally, when using lead glass, it is essential to ensure good ventilation in the environment and avoid excessive humidity; otherwise, it will also affect normal performance. Lead glass is a fragile product with a relatively large volume and must be handled carefully during storage. When installing, special attention should be paid to sealing the edges of the lead glass to effectively avoid light transmission.
Lead glass safety protection adopts shielding safety protection and spacing safety protection standards. Shielding safety protection refers to the application of high-quality chemical substances, usually lead or lead-containing chemicals, as a natural barrier to digest and absorb excess X-rays. Spacing protection refers to the principle that the amount of X-ray exposure is inversely proportional to the square meter distance; by increasing the distance between the X-ray source and the body, the exposure amount can be reduced.
