Lite Tech Inc was established in 1992 acquiring the patented Xenolite lightweight x-ray protection business and technology from DuPont (Canada). Since then, the Company has expanded rapidly and globally. Xenolite is now the most recognized and tested lightweight x-ray protection product in the world. Nearly 200,000 aprons are sold in over 24 countries. Headquartered near Philadelphia, Lite Tech is one of few fully integrated x-ray apron manufacturers. Lite Tech produces its own proprietary core/sheet materials and has apron manufacturing in two US plants.
The original 1991 R & D technology from DuPont created
Xenolite, the world's first lightweight, multi-element,
composite x-ray protection material to replace lead-vinyl, with 30% weight reductions.
From that base, the Company has developed unrivalled, leading-edge capability
in the combined sciences of radiation physics and complex, highly-filled plastics
processing. This technology has enabled Lite Tech to formulate and engineer
new products, including the first "lead-free", environmentally-friendly,
material, Xenolite NL.
Lite Tech's "in-house" sheet production and technical resources
enable total quality control at all stages of manufacturing. Quality audits
are done annually by SGS to comply with European CE - label standards. The Xenolite
products conform to the stringent world standard IEC 61331-1 (both 80 &
100 kV). They remain the lightest-weight x-ray aprons in the world, with full
protection (mm Pb) even when subjected to more penetrating filtered beams at
high KV's.
Selling into hospitals in the USA, and through a respected network of over 20
distributors overseas, our sales team and technical staff are ready to give
you guidance to meet your protection apparel requirements.
