Radiation shielding glass

Radiation shielding glass

INTOS is the largest supplier of radiation shielding glass in the Netherlands. Safety is an important requirement for every employee in healthcare and elsewhere. INTOS creates safe working and research environments which also provide optimum protection against nuclear and X-ray radiation. We therefore supply radiation shielding glass in various sizes, shapes, versions (all possible lead equivalents) and provide advice, delivery and installation and maintenance.

What is radiation shielding glass?

Radiation shielding glass is a special type of glass that contains lead and can therefore withstand high levels of radiation. Radiation shielding glass is used by healthcare, research institutions, airports and industry, among others. Radiation shielding glass can be applied at source voltages from 50 kilovolts (KV) to 511 kilo electro volts (KeV).

Radiation shielding glass incorporated in doors, walls & screens

INTOS also supplies and installs radiation protection components incorporating radiation shielding glass. Examples include lead walls, lead frames, mobile lead screens and (interior) doors. However, radiation shielding glass windows are also something INTOS offers.

Various types of radiation shielding glass

INTOS supplies radiation shielding glass in various designs. The lead value (Pb value) and source voltage (number of kVs) are etched into all radiation shielding glass as standard. The implementation options are:

  • Breakthrough-resistant radiation shielding glass: a lead pane laminated to float glass by means of a PVB layer. Radiation shielding glass in this version is low-maintenance.
  • Soundproof radiation shielding glass: laminated radiation shielding glass with special acoustic PVB layers.
  • Radiation shielding glass with blind: radiation shielding glass combined with LCD film. This film can be made milky or clear at the touch of a button. In existing situations, radiation shielding glass can also be fitted with this LCD film.

Repairing radiation shielding glass

Radiation shielding glass is fragile because it is very soft compared to normal glass. Improper cleaning or contact with grease, for example, can cause permanent damage, stains and clouding. From INTOS Maintenance, we can polish the glass to restore optimum clarity.

Radiation shielding glass polishing

Clouding or damage to radiation shielding glass is corrective resolution by polishing the radiation shielding glass without dismantling it. By polishing it, the glass becomes 100% transparent again and the lead equivalent remains unaffected.

Radiation shielding glass protection film

There may also be a preventative measure be taken to prevent staining, damage and clouding. In fact, the radiation shielding glass can be coated on both sides with a crystal-clear protective film. In this case, the thickness and weight of the radiation shielding glass remain almost the same. Even then, the radiation shielding glass does not have to be dismantled.
