EN LEAD GLASS
Lead glass is a type of glass containing lead oxide. With such an intense refractive index, lead glass exhibits more sparkle than ordinary glass does.
Light dispersion also increases, similar to a prism, by breaking up different colors into their component wavelengths. These properties make it ideal for cutting intricate patterns into.
- When installing, care should be taken that the sealing agents do not contain any acidor
alkaline substances e.g. acetic acid, ammonia etc. - Labels may cause staining on the glass surface due to reaction of the adhesive.
