In the event of fire, Pilkington Pyrostop® turns opaque, blocks out the fire, holds back flames and smoke, and forms an effective heat barrier that limits heat transfer to the protected side.

Consistent and reliable fire protection is the primary and foremost requirement in all fire-resistant product lines and glass types. Furthermore, the individual fire-resistant glasses can be combined in many different ways with additional multi-functional requirements.

This part of the Regulations is intended to ensure that fire is contained within the room or space of origin, and that the spread of smoke and fire is inhibited by fire resisting compartmentation, so that structural integrity is maintained for a reasonable period.
