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 insulating glass units without the need to construct and measure them. 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.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
