Lead Products Manufacturer Delhi

Decorative Lead crystal glass is one of the most attractive forms in which Lead is used. Normally added in the form of Lead oxide at 24-36%, it adds luster, density and brilliance to the glass. The glass is further enhanced by its ability to have decorative patterns cut on it and has the characteristic ring associated with Lead crystal. There is now a substantial market for a cheaper form of Lead 'semi-crystal' containing in the region of 14-24% Lead oxide and glasses are usually molded with the decorative pattern rather than hand-cut later.

Lead is also used in optical glasses (e.g.: telescopes, binoculars), ophthalmic glass (e.g. spectacles), electrical glass (e.g.: lamp tubing) and radiation protection glasses (e.g.: for windows for radiation remote handling boxes, TV tubes)

Lead Cames

Lead cames have long been a feature of stained glass windows in churches and cathedrals. They consist of H-shaped sections of Lead which hold together the individual pieces of glass. They are now being used more widely in modern homes both in the traditional way and in the form of self-adhesive strips stuck on to a larger piece of glass to simulate an integral came. The use of Lead in this manner is attractive and lends a traditional air to a home.
