Infab offers different lightweight options

feather • HX lightweight lead material
• “Greenlite” Lead-free ultra lightweight material

Infab’s revolutionary lightweight lead-free protective vinyl, GreenLite®, is literally one of a kind! Produced exclusively by Infab, GreenLite® is a proprietary blend of lead free metal powder and polymers that form a protective barrier against radiation equal to lead vinyl in the primary beam and SUPERIOR to lead vinyl in protecting against scatter radiation! In addition, GreenLite® is 41% lighter than any other lead vinyl apron!

GreenLite® has become the industry’s standard worldwide for lead-free and lightweight protective gear. We invite you to compare our weight – vs. – protection against any other manufacturers products! Check out the independent test reports on Infab’s website!

Simply add HX or GL to the part number to order your apron in either of these remarkably light materials.
