It is used to absorb ionizing radiation, especially in medical environments such as radiology rooms, protecting operators against excessive radiation exposure.
Corning® Med-X® Lead Glass contains lead in its composition, with the aim of blocking radiation from X-ray equipment used in medical procedures and diagnoses. This is glass that fully complies with the NBR IEC 61331-2 standard, which establishes that glass plates for radiological protection must have transparency greater than 80% and contain lead in the proportion of at least 22% of their thickness to protect against undue exposure to ionizing radiation, which is extremely harmful to human health.
The multi-crystal display or common multi-laminated glass does not contain lead in its composition, which can be seen by its greenish color. Therefore, it is not effective for attenuating radiation according to NBR 61.331.
In addition to being much thicker and heavier, it does not achieve half the attenuation of legitimate lead glass and has less than 50% transparency.
