Lead Glass
Lead Glass (also known as Leaded Glass or Leaded X-Ray Glass) is primarily used in the medical and healthcare industry because of its excellent shielding properties against X-Ray and Gamma Rays. Lead Glass provides high visibility hence allowing transparent observation of patients in conditions where ionizing radiation is used. Lead Glass also finds use in industrial, commercial and nuclear applications.
