Storage and Care of X-Ray Glass
- X-Ray Glass must be handled with care due to its replacement cost, fragility and soft surface
- Never use abrasive cleaners on glass
- Never use certain acid or alkaline chemicals that may stain the glass
- Wipe fingerprints, oils and smudges immediately off with a clean soft cloth
- Glass must be kept clean at all times. Perspiration, oil, fatty acids, dirt, strong cleaners, paint and grease left on the X-Ray Glass may cause staining or discoloration.
- Until the X-Ray Glass is installed, it should be kept indoors, cushioned in foam and in a secure protective container away from moisture, dust or potential traffic.
- Never expose glass to humid environments
- Always store glass tied down in a secure vertical, upright position (never flat or face down)
See our line of X-Ray Glass Acessories including X-Ray Glass Polish and Lead Acrylic Polish for ongoing care and maintence of your x-ray protective products. For further glass maintenance, handling and storage information click here.
Safe Transportation and Storage of Lead Lined Drywall Shielding Materials
- Lead backed drywall must always be kept out of the sun and stored indoors in a cool dry place as the sheet lead readily absorbs heat and causes the gypsum drywall to "sweat" and crumble or become soft and prone to crack, fracture and fold.
- NEVER STORE LEAD DRYWALL IN SUN OR EXPOSE TO ANY MOISTURE
- If the drywall is transported in the back of a delivery truck on a hot day or in the sun, promptly cover the drywall with cardboard or another sheet of regular drywall and let the lead drywall "cool" prior to moving or stocking it. Preferably park the delivery truck in the cool shade and stock only in the early morning.
- Never transport or stock in the rain or allow the drywall to get wet.
- Never expose or store materials in direct sun, heat or moisture.
- Always keep in mind the heavy weight of the drywall and be sure the drywall cart or elevators can easily handle the total weight.
- Never exceed or over load carts,forklifts,gradalls,trucks or elevators beyond their stated capacities.
- Lead backed drywall panels are very heavy and must be carefully secured and stocked flat on a level ground surface on a minimum of 4 or more evenly spaced blocks or other supports and NEVER against a wall or leaned against a vertical surface which materials may tip or fall over or collapse causing potential damage or serious injury to the installers or others.
