Leaded acrylic radiation shielding

 

One of the key benefits of leaded acrylic is the open feel environment it creates while at the same time providing reduced exposure to harmful radiation. A healthier and happier work environment is established as leaded acrylic has a high light transmission.

A more rugged and durable alternative to lead glass; the transparent leaded acrylic is less reflective and has less glare on the surface. It is also easier to ship and less likely to break when moved.

MarShield has conducted extensive research and development to ensure that our shielding products provide comprehensive protection in any medical or technical research application.
