Corning Med-X Glass

Dimensions

Corning Med-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:

Corning Med-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.
