Environments / Applications
Hospital X-ray protection, MRI scanning, observation windows, door glazing, nuclear medicine application, special mitre joint and lamination with float glass allow extended window sizes, creating better observation
environments. Multiple
glazing units providing shaped observation solutions. Due to its special composition, RD 50® is also excellently suited for PET applications and offers optimum protection effect. Therefore RD
50
® can be used in the combination of PET and CT. Key markets are analytical and medical.
