General information

Fire resistant glass — a multilayer construction from safety glass sheets; space between them is filled with the clear fire resistant gel.

Under a high temperature impact gel layers lose water and transform into porous ceramic opaque foam that creates a barrier. The barrier is able to restrain flame and combustion products within a long period of time. Opacity of protective layer allows preventing panic during evacuation of victims at the time of fire.

Fire resistant glass is characterized by two criterions:

• glass integrity preservation (E index) — within a certain period of time absence of glass cracks and holes, through which flame and smoke can penetrate
• preservation of heat-insulating properties (I index) — the ability of glass to restrain at a particular level a heat flow transmission into a protected building

The time, within which heat-insulating properties are preserved, is indicated in glass marking. In all cases the time, within which glass integrity is preserved, is not less than the time of heat-insulating property preservation.
