Pilkington Pyrodur® (EW-CLASS)

Using the same technology as Pilkington Pyrostop®, Pilkington Pyrodur® is tried and tested against fire and hot gases. 
Pilkington Pyrodur® is widely used and specified in a range of softwood and hardwood timber. Offering up to 60 mins integrity, Pilkington Pyrodur® can combine impact resistance (BS EN 12600) up to Class 1(B)1 and penetration resistance (BS EN 356) to classification P(1)A , which is a requirement in Approved Document Q and recommended in Secured by Design.

In the event of fire, Pilkington Pyrodur® turns opaque providing both the integrity requirements of a barrier to hot gases and flames. As such, Pilkington Pyrodur® complies with British, European and ISO test standards.

Application Feature

Pilkington Pyrodur® is a 60-minute fire-resistant glass with EW classification that is effective in reducing heat radiation by up to 50%. It is commonly used as fire-resistant glass doors to partition different areas or pathways, including fire doors in factories. In the event of an incident, this enables rescue units to promptly access the scene, thereby delaying potential damage to lives and property.

To prevent flashover, fire smoke, hot gases, and heat radiation (measured at a distance of 1 meter from the glass with a value not exceeding 15 kilowatts), the glass itself is characterized as laminated glass coated with fire-resistant chemicals (Sodium silicate) to mitigate fire spread effectively.
