Materials which are non-staining, easy-to-clean and coordinate with the interior design of the building is a common requirement in healthcare settings. Historically, radiation shielding materials have been difficult to clean and stains show easily, especially if the white color is chosen.
PEARLTEX is the natural choice for radiation protection in healthcare settings where a clean and crisp color is preferred and stains to be easily noticed and cleaned. The certified lead-free shielding material is a safe and effective alternative to lead. The non-porous, pearl-colored coating can be cleaned with common hospital cleansers and does not stain when exposed to fluids, grease, and other contaminants.

PEARLTEX Features
RADIATION PROTECTION
PEARLTEX is certified to minimum protection level of 0.50 mm lead equivalence from 50 kV - 150 kV, tested per IEC EN 61331-1 in compliance to IEC EN 61331-3.
COLOR
The off-white 'Pearl' color is the preferred color of choice for healthcare settings. This allows stains to be easily noticed and cleaned.
STAIN RESISTANCE
This stain resistant shielding offers a non-porous & water-resistant alternative to leaded vinyl or patient protection blankets. Fluids, oils, grease and other contaminants are easily wiped off with detergent, water, and common healthcare cleansers. Curtains can be easily cleaned in place with standard healthcare chemicals without fear of staining or degrading curtains.
VERSATILE
The shielding products are available in wall- or ceiling-mounted curtains, blankets and mobile barriers.
DURABILITY
Incredibly strong, withstanding severe wear and abuse. Extra strength and tear resistance means extended curtain life. Surface is UV & ozone resistant, maintaining integrity over time and standing up to repetitive UV-C disinfection cycles in healthcare settings.
DISINFECTION
If used in patient contact situations the material provides a lead-free radiation protection product which is easier to clean and helps to prevent potential buildups of bacteria and other disease-causing microorganisms. The surface is UV & ozone resistant, maintaining integrity over time and standing up to repetitive UV-C disinfection cycles in healthcare settings.
LEAD-FREE
Certified lead-free & compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU for Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) which limits the maximum concentration of lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, mercury, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenylethers.
These materials are safe, effective, durable, and stain-resistant.
FDA DEVICE
Listed as a FDA Class 1 Medical Device.
