LX Premium - X-Ray Shielding Lead Glass
LX Premium
LX Premium X-Ray Shielding Lead Glass is the next generation of radiation shielding glass with excellent impact resistance. It offers unparalleled radiation protection and superb visual clarity. Conventional lead glass products have had problems with staining and discoloration when moisture adheres to the glass surface. This can happen when glass surfaces are touched by bare hands (transferring sweat and lipids) or when glass is wiped with a wet cloth. LX Premium has a multilayer structure, created by inserting LX-57B high-lead glass between two panels of protective sheet glass. The result is a glass surface that will not stain or discolor even when chemicals splash on it or it is wiped with a wet cloth.
LX Premium is high quality optical grade, lead barium type, X-Ray Shielding Lead Glass that consists of over 60% heavy metal oxide that includes a minimum of 55% Pbo. LX Premium comes in three thicknesses: LX8 Premium (15 mm) , LX11 Premium (18 mm) and LX14 Premium (21 mm).

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR X-RAY SHIELDING LEAD GLASS PRODUCTS
As a high lead content glass, LX glass is more susceptible to staining as compared with normal window glass. Pay attention to the following precautions for installation and cleaning.
- Do not stick anything on the surface of the LX glass during the installation. (When masking tape is used in caulking, remove it immediately after caulking and wipe off any tape traces with alcohol.)
- Do not use a wet cloth or water to clean the LX glass. Immediately wipe off water in case the LX glass becomes wet.
- When the LX glass becomes dirty of marked with fingerprints, polish the surface slightly hard with a dry, clean cloth like gauze using alcohol. Wipe the LX glass again afterwards with a new, dry and clean cloth to completely remove the alcohol remaining on the surface.
Technical Glass Products only supplies LX Premium and X-Ray Shielding Lead Glass west of the Mississippi.
Due to the specialized nature of LX Premium, all glass must be cut to finished size at the factory. Please contact TGP regarding lead-time for your project.
