Corning® Med-X® LT Shielded Glass

Safety

Limits the risk of injury in case of impact
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is a laminated glass. In case of impact, numerous cracks could appear but fragments are being held together: no projection of glass.

Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is qualified with the most stringent
Impact Safety standards for glazing:

• EN 12600 (Europe)
• Cat II CFR Part 16 #1201 (United States)

User-Friendliness

Improved clarity for users

Corning® Med-X® LT Glass guarantees the properties and
reliability of a premium radiation shielding glass while offering
improved clarity and transparency. Visual clarity is improved as
the new solution brings up to 5 extra points of light transmission.

Added value for installers and integrators

Corning® Med-X® LT Glass provides the added value of a
laminated sheet without the constraints of extra weight and thickness. Compared to current solutions on the market, Corning®
Med-X® LT Glass is up to 10 kg/m2 lighter.

Durability

Radiation shielding glass requires special care. Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is resistant to scratching and daily cleaning.

Scratch Resistant

• Up to 4 times better than conventional radiation shielding glass
• 24 times better than lead acrylic panels

Note: measured using the ASTM F735-94 abrasion protocol (BAYER test – 3,600 cycles – Corundum sand – Haze measurements).

Easy to clean

Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is easy to clean with common detergents.

Safety Glazing Impact Test

Safety glass tests reveal how the glass will behave when subjected to an impact of about 50 kg at different drop heights: from a few centimeters to more than 1.20 m (equivalent to an adult hitting the glass unintentionally or a child landing on it accidentally). All tests are performed by accredited independent laboratories.
