Radiation Shielding Glass Applications
Radiation Shielding Glass Applications
Why use radiation shielding glass?
Wherever X-ray and gamma ray technologies are used, radiation shielding glass can protect people against ionizing radiation (interventional cardiology, CT scans, radiation therapy, etc).
Medical, Technical, and Industrial Applications:
- Fixed windows in hospitals or smaller practices
- Mobile panels and fixed barriers in hospitals or smaller practices
- Research laboratories
- Industrial scanners and non-destructive testing
Corning product range includes:
Corning® Med-X® Glass
Corning® Med-X® LT Glass
Corning® Supercontryx® Glass

Radiation Resistant Glass Applications
Radiation Resistant Glass Applications
Why use radiation resistant glass ?
In space, medicine, the nuclear industry and a range of scientific sectors, optical glass may be exposed to high-energy radiation such as gamma, electron, proton and neutron radiation. This radiation changes the transmittance of optical glass which will impact the viewing comfort of operators while handling radioactive materials. Corning developed a full range of radiation resistant glass including non-browning glass stabilized with cerium, to ensure protection, operating comfort, and safety of people working in hazardous environment.
Nuclear Power Plants, Waste treatment, and Nuclear laboratories to protect people from Low and High radioactivity
Corning SAS designs, manufactures and supplies radiation shielding windows for :
- Hot cells
- Gloveboxes
- Specific design for tough radioactive environment Windows allow a visual control of operations conducted on radioactive elements into the hot cells. The wall thickness of one shielding window can reach up to 1.50 meter and the weight exceed 12 tons !
Corning product range includes:
Complete windows “Design by Sovis” embedded into the wall ( including wall liner, window frame, alpha glass and protective glass).
Additional features on demand (fire safety, seismic restraints design, …).
Dedicated services such as Engineering and Consulting, Installation & Extraction, Refurbishment, Inspection & Diagnostic.
