Our unrivalled, typical dispatch time is 2 weeks.
Product features
Dimensions
康宁我d-X Glass is supplied as polished plates from 3.5 mm to 20 mm thickness with dimensions up to 2800 x 1400 mm (54 " x 108").
- This allows architects to design viewing windows with a wider field of vision to maximize the observation requirements of the diagnostic operators.
- Smaller sizes can be cut to meet most customer requirements.
- All cut edges are ground and finished with safety chamfers.
Laminating/ double glazing:
康宁我d-X Glass is suitable for laminating using polyvinyl butyral (PVB) inter-layers and can also be fitted into sealed, double-glazed units for insulation purpose.
Application
康宁我d-X Glass is compatible with a large range of installations and other viewing applications such as:
• Viewing windows for X-ray, angiography, CT scans
• Screens for medical diagnostics
