Radiation Shielding Glass

RD50®

Due to its Lead Oxide content of ≥65%, RD50 provides radiation protection by absorbing ionizing Gamma and X-Rays

​

​

Available in standard thicknesses ranging from 6.0-23.0mm.

​

We hold standard sheets in stock that can be cut to your required dimensions.

​

Increased thickness requirements for higher lead equivalence can be obtained through laminating multiple sheets.

​

​

RS Glass Series

​​

​

• RS 253

• RS 253 G18

• RS 323 G19

• RS 360

• RS 520

These specifically developed Radiation Shielding Glasses provide high shielding capability and resistance against ionizing irradiation for applications in Nuclear Energy Production and Nuclear Waste Treatment (high long-term light transmittance and discharge resistance).

​

RS 360 and 520 are doped with Cerium Dioxide to prevent browning caused by  high-energy radiation-induced ionization.

​

Available as finished blocks, plates and customized castings.
