Laser Protection with Laser Safety Curtains
Ordinary curtains are rarely capable of stopping a laser beam and specially designed certified laser blocking material must be used to ensure that laser beams do not escape from the laser controlled area.
Laser blocking curtains are intended to protect those who are not in the area from laser radiation. Individuals entering the laser-controlled area must wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as protective eyewear.
Lasermet’s laser blocking curtains are ideal for providing the necessary level of protection. They are made of a specially developed laser blocking material by the company and arrive ready-made as ceiling or wall-mounted curtains. The material is black on both sides and can be used as both a blackout screen and a laser-blocking screen.
