Pyroclear
Pilkington Pyroclear® is an advanced toughened fire-resistant glass for use as a basic integrity-only barrier. It is based on a new technology development which we’ve been perfecting and crafting for several years, built on an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of glass in fire, including new knowledge of the detail that influences the probability of glass failure.
Pilkington Pyroclear® is manufactured to high quality control standards, combining the best available expertise in both automotive and architectural premium glass processing. It is based on NSG proprietary technology combined with new R&D insights on the factors that affect the probability of premature failure of advanced toughened glass in fire (long acknowledged as a weakness of this type) and our proprietary accumulated technical experience on glass and glazing systems for integrity fire resistance from years of extensive fire testing and experience in fire safety.
Recent Developments Include:
Pilkington Pyroclear® Line – enabling Pilkington Pyroclear® to be specified as a butt jointed system, ideally suited for internal glass partitions for 30 and 60 minutes.
Pilkington Pyroclear® Plus – is either combined into an insulating glass unit or into a monolithic laminated glass that achieves an EW60 performance for internal, external screens, external facades and inclined applications – which means that there will be a reduced heat radiation for 60 minutes and in some configurations a 15 minute insulation value can be achieved.
Below is a guide to help you choose the right fire-resistant glass from our range for your application. Also shown below are our fire test summaries with details of some of the many tests carried out on Pilkington Pyroclear® to date.
