Pilkington Pyrodur®


Pilkington Pyrodur® is a clear laminated fire-resistant and safety glass (in thickness from 9 mm) designed to provide basic integrity fire protection, but also offering limitation of radiant heat transfer. It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising fewer interlayers.

Features & Benefits

  • Provides proven integrity for up to 60 minutes when used in a suitable, tested glazing system, restricting the spread of flames, smoke and hot gases.
  • It relies on the same generic technology as Pilkington Pyrostop® comprising thinner and fewer interlayers.
  • Special clear intumescent interlayers, reacting to form a rigid, opaque, visual barrier to flames, helping to reduce panic and fear during evacuation of the building.
  • Added benefit of reducing the transmission of conductive and radiant heat from the fire.
  • Totally clear, unobstructed vision.
  • Provides effective noise control.
  • Can provide impact safety performance, dependent upon thickness.
  • Can be combined with other functional glasses for greater flexibility in applications.
  • Available in different thicknesses and compositions for internal or external applications.
  • Available in monolithic or insulating glass unit form..

 

Applications


Suitable for internal and external applications where fire-resistant glasses are required to provide integrity and a prescribed level of insulation up to class EW 60. Pilkington Pyrodur® is available in single and double glazed form, for use with steel, aluminium, softwood and hardwood timber frames.

It can be combined with functional glasses to produce a wide range of products for numerous applications.

Pilkington Pyrodur® is particularly suited for use in doors, screens and partitions where lightweight, narrow profiles are important and ease of glazing is a priority.

Further applications include insulating glass units in façades and roof glazing (special compositions for inclined applications).

Product Combinations


Pilkington Pyrodur® is a high-quality fire-resistant glass that not only provides effective protection against fire, but can also be equipped with a variety of additional functions to meet the requirements of modern building projects. In addition to reliable fire protection, Pilkington Pyrodur® can provide thermal insulation for energy saving, solar control for a pleasant indoor climate and sound insulation for a quiet environment. The self-cleaning properties facilitate maintenance, while integrated safety and protection functions protect people and property from damage. In addition, Pilkington Pyrodur® with its integrated alarm system and customised design options allows flexible adaptation to different architectural requirements. This multifunctional glass thus combines the highest safety standards with a multitude of additional benefits for versatile and aesthetic room and façade design.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, you can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
