SUPERCONTRYX Glass For Efficient Protection Against X-ray Radiations

An X-ray imaging test is utilized by doctors to diagnose, monitor and treat various medical conditions without making an incision. Its advantages are plentiful, though there are also added repercussions for both patients and doctors due to an overexposure to the radiation, especially when the appropriate protection measures are not in place.

Therefore, SUPERCONTRYX - a lead glass should be an extremely important element of your medical facility’s X-ray protection strategy as it attenuates the effect of radiations significantly.

What is SUPERCONTRYX glass?

SUPERCONTRYX is a revolutionary product from the house of Saint-Gobain Group - the world’s leading manufacturer of innovative glass solutions since its birth in 1665. With glass being deeply ingrained in its DNA, Saint-Gobain group is on a path to establish an unmatchable reputation in the industry.

It is a single glass sheet comprised of 70% heavy elements, and lead oxide contributes to approximately 48% of that part. Its density is 4.8 at the minimum, which is nearly twice the density of a standard glass.

SUPERCONTRYX absorbs the energy of ionizing X-rays, thereby providing utmost protection to any person exposed to that environment. It allows the technicians to clearly view imaging and radiation therapy procedures and can also be effectively put into use in modular and permanent shielding applications.

Moreover, you’ll find this glass in a variety of shapes, sizes and thickness levels, depending on the exact requirements of a particular application. The thicker the glass, the higher the degree of radiation protection. The lead glass can also be laminated in order to suit the safety specifications and ensure maximum impact resistance.

Standard designs are available in the form of seamed edges (consisting of rough cut edges with all sharp edges polished), though you can also order flat ground or flat polished designs to meet your requirements.

Just the right glass choice for assorted health-care institutions!

In addition to X-ray rooms, SUPERCONTRYX glass is commonly used in laboratories and operation theatres by private and public hospitals, dentists’ offices, clinics, veterinary practices and radiology areas.

Recently, it has also found its application in industries such as research centers and medical equipment manufacturers. Be it a window, door, glazed interior partition or an industrial equipment, SUPERCONTRYX glass can be installed anywhere without much hassle by experienced technicians.
