Radiation Shielding Glass in Zimbabwe
Available Radiation Shielding Glass Models

Radiation shielding glass, also known as leaded glass or X-ray shielding glass, is a specialized type of glass designed to attenuate (reduce) the intensity of ionizing radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays. Unlike standard glass, it incorporates high concentrations of specific heavy elements, most commonly lead oxide, but sometimes barium or bismuth, within its matrix. This increased density and atomic number effectively absorb and scatter the incoming radiation particles and photons, preventing them from passing through.

The primary function of radiation shielding glass is to protect personnel and sensitive equipment from harmful radiation exposure in environments where such radiation is generated or utilized. It acts as a critical safety barrier, ensuring compliance with radiation safety regulations and safeguarding the well-being of healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. The degree of shielding is determined by the glass's lead equivalency, which is a measure of its effectiveness in reducing radiation levels compared to a specific thickness of lead.

In Zimbabwe, the need for advanced radiation shielding glass is primarily concentrated within healthcare facilities that utilize diagnostic and therapeutic radiation technologies. This specialized glass is crucial for protecting medical personnel, patients, and the public from harmful ionizing radiation.

Ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your radiation shielding glass in Zimbabwe begins with a meticulous installation process. We partner with experienced local technicians to guarantee a seamless integration of your new shielding solution. This comprehensive approach covers everything from initial site preparation to final calibration, ensuring your facility meets the highest radiation safety standards.

The cost of radiation shielding glass in Zimbabwe can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the specific lead equivalency required, the dimensions of the glass, the thickness of the lead or lead-equivalent material, the manufacturer, and any specialized framing or installation requirements. Due to the specialized nature of this product, it's not typically a commodity with readily available price lists. However, to provide a realistic, albeit broad, price range in local currency, you can expect:

Small to Medium-sized Panels: For standard X-ray rooms or smaller imaging suites, prices might range from** ZWL 5,000 to ZWL 25,000 per square meter**. This would typically cover glass with moderate lead shielding (e.g., Pb 1.0mm to Pb 1.5mm equivalency) and basic framing.

Larger or High-Shielding Requirements: For larger installations, such as those in radiotherapy bunkers or areas with higher radiation exposure, the cost can escalate considerably. Expect prices to range from ZWL 25,000 to ZWL 70,000+ per square meter. This price range accounts for thicker lead equivalency, custom sizes, advanced framing systems, and potentially specialized coatings or features.

Important Considerations:

• Lead Equivalency: Higher lead equivalency (e.g., Pb 2.0mm and above) will significantly increase the price.

• Customization: Bespoke sizes and shapes will incur additional costs for manufacturing.

• Frame and Installation: The cost of sturdy, lead-lined frames and professional installation is a crucial part of the overall expense and can add a substantial percentage to the glass price.

• Supplier and Brand: Different manufacturers and suppliers will have varying pricing structures.

It is highly recommended to obtain detailed quotes from multiple reputable suppliers based on your specific project requirements for an accurate assessment of the cost in Zimbabwe.
