FAQ
- What apron style is best for my needs?
- This will depend on the intended use, your body type and personal preference. Call us at 1-800-221-3466 for assistance.
- How can an Envirolite apron protect me if there's no lead in it?
- Lead isn't the only material that can protect you from scatter radiation. It's just the material traditionally used. BMS's Envirolite uses a proprietary blend of composite metals to offer you the same protection as lead at a significantly lower weight.
- I can't decide on a protective material?
- If you want to have the lightest apron possible and/or want to be lead free, consider an Envirolite apron. If you want reduced weight and high durability at a great price, consider a Burlite apron. If weight is not a priority, consider a Lead apron.
- Which protection level do I need?
- To determine your requirements, contact the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) of your facility for the required protection levels. Unfortunately, BMS cannot advise you on proper protection levels.
