Pilkington Pyrostop^®

Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is made with a multiple laminate of float glass and a special transparent intumescent interlayer, which is totally compatible and optically homogenous with the glass layers. When exposed to fire, the pane facing the flames fractures but remains in place and the interlayers, one after the other foam up to form an opaque insulating shield that blocks the heat of the blaze.

Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass includes performances from 45 minutes up to 120 minutes depending on the product chosen. All of the Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass products are Cat II human impact safe.  Pilkington Pyrostop® fire-resistance glass must always be used as a part of an approved fire resistance rated framing assembly.
Benefits

• Totally clear, Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is aesthetically superior to other fire resistance glasses, combining fire resistance with the traditional optical quality and clarity of glass
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass isolates the fire and protects the non-fire side from the blaze, reducing damage, allowing time for safe escape and providing protected access for firefighters
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass creates a barrier against heat, smoke, flames and hot gases from a fire
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass stays in place and acts as an insulating fire wall when installed in an appropriate fire resistance rated assembly
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass can be framed in fire resistance rated assemblies of wood, steel, aluminum, gypsum walls and curtain walls
• The optical quality of Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is superior because the base glass is Pilkington Optiwhite™ low iron glass to ensure superior light transmission and optical quality of the thicker laminates
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass has an established track record of proven performance for over 25 years of use worldwide in a broad range of building types, in single and double glazed applications
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is fabricated in the U.S. for short lead times
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass can be used for interior and exterior applications and is available in the U.S. in thicknesses from 0.71" (19 mm) to 2.2" (62 mm)
• Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is ideal for windows, walls, doors, transoms, partitions, facades, sloped and clear glass floor applications

Combinations
Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass is designed to be combined with the full range of Pilkington glasses as insulating glass units for varied building situations. This allows flexibility of design and aesthetics, and permits optimization of thermal insulation, solar control, acoustic insulation, safety and security - all with built-in high performance fire protection.

• Thermal insulation can be maximized in an insulating glass unit that combines Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass with low-e glass
• Solar control can be optimized by creating an insulating glass unit using Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass and a solar control glass
• For noise reduction, Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass can be combined in an insulating glass unit with acoustic laminated glass
• For safety and security, combine Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass with tempered safety glass or laminated safety glass
• For decoration, Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass can be filmed (for internal use only) or slightly sandblasted. Additionally, Pilkington Pyrostop^® fire-rated glass can be combined with Venetian blinds in an insulating glass unit (for internal use only)
