Lead glass introduction

lead glass ‌ is a glass product containing a large amount of lead oxide, usually containing 18% to 40% lead oxide. Compared with ordinary glass, lead glass has a higher refractive index, density and radiation resistance, but also has a stronger resistance to chemical corrosion.

Characteristics of lead glass include:

‌ High refractive index ‌ : makes the light propagating in the glass more deflected, suitable for applications requiring high light transmission.
‌ high density ‌ : Increased the protective performance of glass, especially in the aspect of radiation resistance.
‌ brittleness ‌ : Because it contains a high proportion of lead oxide, lead glass is relatively brittle and easy to break.
‌ Chemical corrosion resistance ‌ : can maintain stability in harsh environments.  

Application field
Lead glass is widely used in many fields:

‌ optical instruments ‌ : used in the manufacture of lenses and other optical components.
‌ Radiological protection ‌ : used for making radiological protection Windows and shielding materials.
‌ art and decoration ‌ : used to make tableware, crystal ornaments, etc.
‌ Medical field ‌ : Used as observation Windows and protective screens in medical facilities.
