Amerope Ent., Inc. Introduces LX Premium,
An Innovative Radiation Shielding Lead Glass
That Does Not Stain, Fog, Discolor, or Shatter
LX Premium is an innovative new radiation shielding lead glass with new material that will significantly reduce replacement costs of stained, fogged, or shattered glass.
Amerope Ent., Inc. is pleased to offer LX Premium which has a new multi-layer structure, manufactured by inserting LX-57B high-lead glass between panels of protective sheet glass. As a result, a standard outer glass panel will not stain or discolor, even in contact with chemicals or if it is wiped with a wet cloth.
LX Premium has overcome the weakness of lead glass and achieved high maintainability. Having evolved from conventional radiation shielding lead glass, it represents the next generation of radiation shielding glass with excellent shock resistance.
While lead glass can shield radiation, conventional products have had problems with staining and discoloration when moisture adheres to glass surfaces. This can sometimes occur when glass surfaces are touched by bare hands (transferring sweat or lipids), when glass is wiped with a wet cloth, or when certain cleaning products are applied.
Features
- High transparency - Because the lead glass is protected by outer sheet glass, the glass surface will not fog (which refers to discoloration or staining caused by lead substances reacting to moisture or lipids) even when chemicals adhere to its surface or it is wiped with a wet cloth.
High transparency can be maintained with ease.
- Excellent maintainability - Because it is protected by outer sheet glass on both sides, the glass can be cleaned using such items as a wet cloth, glass cleaners, and detergents without any concern about fogging, staining or discoloration.
You would clean LX Premium the same way you would clean ordinary windowpanes.
- Safety - Because it is a multi-layer laminated glass of LX-57B and outer sheet glass, it is impact-safe and shatter resistant.
Main Applications
- Window of an X-ray control booth that requires sterilization
- Observation window for an angiography room or anywhere chemicals are likely to spatter
- Inspection window of a door that is frequently touched by people
