EURO | RX

Leaded glass

Protection against X-rays and gamma rays

EURO | RX

Available in three versions

The EURO | RX glass is an X-ray protective glass. It is made from high quality optical materials, providing excellent radiation protection and impressive clarity. It also offers a very high light transmission, it is not discolored by radiation and its polished surface offers scratch resistance.

Depending on your needs, we offer three different EURO | RX products:

verre-plombe-protection-rayon-X-Euroverre-Glass-Protection
Euro-RX-LX-Euroverre-Protection-Glass

Medical

Protects doctors and staff from X-ray irradiation and facilitates remote control of X-ray equipment when the glass is larger.

Industrial

Used in airport baggage inspection equipment as well as radiation test equipment for industrial products.

Nuclear

Commonly used in radioactive storage stations, nuclear fuel development and reprocessing plants, and for applications near nuclear reactors.

EURO | RX - STANDARD

This leaded glass is a high optical quality leaded barium type glass, with more than 60% heavy metal oxide, including at least 55% PbO. It offers more than 80% light transmittance and does not fade due to radiation.

Windows

RX-Safety glass is used regularly when a window is required inside a leaded door or on portable ray shields.

Specialized

For all applications where lead-lined safety glass is specified or required and must meet ANSI 297.1-1984 and 16 CFR 1201 Cat.

Euro-RX-Premium-Euroverre-Protection-Glass

Sterilization

For use requiring cleaning, such as an X-ray control booth window, requiring frequent sterilization or which would be frequently touched.

Chemical

For use where chemicals are likely to be splashed, such as a viewing window in an angiography room.

EURO | RX - ADVANCED

Le verre RX-Advanced a une structure multicouche. Il est fabriqué en insérant le verre plombé RX-Standard entre deux panneaux de protection en verre feuilletés. Ainsi, les panneaux de verre extérieurs standards ne se tacheront pas et ne se décoloreront pas, même en contact avec des produits chimiques agressifs. En plus d'une protection contre les radiations, ce verre offre une excellente résistance aux chocs et aux éclats.
