Product Life Cycle
From transportation to installation into window panels inside architectural healthcare facilities and laboratory around the world, radiation shielding glass must withstand several constraints during its life cycle:
- Handling, packing, unpacking, and storage
- Daily maintenance and cleaning
- Repeated ionizing radiation

Clarity
Visual comfort and a well-lit work environment are essential for specific glazing materials such as radiation shielding glass.
A new construction project? A new device? Material reliability and ease of use is crucial.
Corning developed a new glass solution bringing safety, durability and user-friendliness for all stakeholders along the product life cycle.
Whether you are a distributor looking for the best solution to offer to your customers, a radiation specialist designing and installing the most reliable X ray room, or an architect working with engineering consultants looking for the best solution available on the market, the new Corning® Med-X® LT Glass will meet your expectations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
Safety
Protects from ionizing radiation
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass offers excellent radiation protection performance: 1.2 mmPb to 2.6 mmPb lead equivalence at 150kV tested according to international standard IEC 61 331:2014.
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)

Safety Glazing Impact Test
Safety glass tests reveal how the glass will behave when subjected to an impact of about 50kg at different drop heights: from a few centimetres to more than 1.20m (equivalent to an adult hitting the glass unintentionally or a child landing on it accidently). All tests are performed by accredited independent laboratories.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Durability
Radiation shielding glass requires special care. Corning® Med-X® LT Glass is resistant to scratching and daily cleaning.
Scratch Resistant
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass has better scratch resistance than other products available on the market:
- Up to 4 times better than conventional radiation shielding glass
- 24 times better than lead acrylic panels
It is 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”accessories” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#000000″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” stagger_animation=”true” mobile_disable_animation=”true” content_alignment=”center” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Alternative Design & Construction” font_line_height=”1.3″][/split_line_heading][nectar_woo_products product_type=”all” category=”design-construction” columns=”4″ flickity_mobile_column_width=”100%” orderby=”date” order=”DESC” carousel=”1″ script=”flickity” flickity_wrap=”wrap” flickity_overflow=”hidden” flickity_controls=”bottom-pagination” flickity_group_cells=”default” flickity_item_animation=”none” autorotate=”true” autorotation_speed=”5000″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
