This transparent radiation shielding is made from a lead-free sheet of acrylic copolymer which contains bismuth to provide X-ray shielding properties comparable to lead. The shielding material results in a slight yellow tint in the window. Each ½” thick sheet provides a shielding equivalent of 0.5mm of Pb. This transparent shielding is used in viewing windows to provide safe protective shielding against x-ray radiation for medical, technical, and research applications. X-ray windows have a high bismuth content, providing optimum shielding against radiation from equipment operating in the 80 to 300 kV range. This is the same lead-free acrylic used in our mobile x-ray barriers. Transparent radiation shielding is often used for viewing windows in xray scanning applications. Other common applications include: Medical X-Ray Radiology Chiropractic X-Ray Dental X-Ray Mammography Flouroscopy Angiography CT (Computerized Tomography) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Nuclear Medicine X-Ray Security Screens Nuclear Facility Control Rooms NDT Testing Facilities
