01 / PRODUCT INSIGHT
From material to application.
Transparent, lead-containing acrylic combines a viewing function with radiation shielding. Six thickness grades serve windows, barriers and machined components. The source provides optical, shielding, mechanical and weight data so designers can evaluate more than transparency alone.
Cut, drill and machine
The brochure describes processing with standard plastic-handling techniques. Confirm tool choice, edge finish, hole locations and tolerances for the supplied grade.
Sheet or custom component
Listed sheet sizes are 600 × 800 mm and 1000 × 1200 mm, with custom cutting. Example components include viewing panes and rings for medical equipment.

04 / SELECTION QUESTIONS
A closer look at your specification.
Is clear lead acrylic lead-free?
No. This is a lead-containing transparent shielding product. It should be specified separately from Radbar’s lead-free composite families.
Is thicker acrylic always the best choice?
Thickness changes shielding, light transmission and mass. Select the required radiation performance first, then check support loads, viewing quality and machining requirements for that model.
