Cristal plomado para protección radiológica
Transparent shielding against X-rays and gamma rays for medical, industrial, and research environments.
¿Qué es el cristal plomado?
Leaded glass, also known as lead glass or leaded glazing, is a special glass with a high lead oxide content designed for radiation protection.
Unlike conventional glass, lead glass blocks ionizing radiation while maintaining high transparency, making it the standard solution for X-ray rooms and nuclear medicine applications.
It is commonly used as:
X-ray glass for observation windows
Leaded glass in radiological doors
Leaded X-ray glass for partitions
Control windows in CT and PET rooms
Glove boxes in gamma environments
¿Qué radiación bloquea?
El cristal plomado está diseñado para bloquear:
Rayos X
Utilizados en:
Medical radiology
Computed tomography (CT)
Dental and veterinary clinics
Industrial non-destructive testing
Rayos Gamma
Presentes en:
Nuclear medicine
PET
Cyclotrons
Nuclear research and industry

Equivalencias en plomo (mmPb)
The protection level of leaded glass is expressed in millimetres of lead equivalent (mmPb).
Technical tables relate:
- Glass thickness (mm)
- Tube voltage (kV)
- Gamma energy (keV)
- Minimum lead equivalency
