Pilkington Pyrodur®

Overview

Tried and trusted protection against flames and hot gases. Using the same technology as Pilkington Pyrostop®, Pilkington Pyrodur® is ideal for use in fire doors and partitioning. It is a clear, laminated fire and impact resistant glass offering up to 60 minutes integrity, together with some heat insulation in suitable glazing systems. Depending on the thickness, it provides impact protection up to Class 1(B)1 of BS EN 12600.
