CHARACTERISTICS
RD 30® offers a wide range of processing options, including mechanical processing (edge work, bore holes, cutouts), lamination, thermal toughening, bending, and processing into insulating glass units. In addition, RD 30® is extremely durable, with less flammability and more scratch resistance than acrylic.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Can be toughened and processed into curved formats.
- Non-flammable and more scratch-resistant than acrylic.
RD 50®

CHARACTERISTICS
In addition, RD 50® Radiation Shielding Glass has a high density, so offers high x-ray absorption even with relatively thin glass.

As a monolithic x-ray shielding glass, it offers the widest range of thicknesses, for use in windows, doors and panoramic glazing for analytical equipment.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
- Non-flammable and more scratch-resistant than acrylic.
- High density means high x-ray absorption.
- Excellent for PET and CT scan facilities.
