Pilkington Pyrostop® Offers Protection Against Fire and Heat
Snoqualmie, Wash. — Technical Glass Products (TGP) is pleased to offer Pilkington Pyrostop®, a fire-rated, impact safety-rated, transparent wall panel that helps block heat transfer. www.fireglass.com
While fire-rated glass typically contains the spread of flame and smoke, some locations (such as stairwells and elevator lobbies) may require a product that can also reduce the transfer of radiant and conductive heat from a fire. In such cases, Pilkington Pyrostop transparent wall panels make an excellent alternative to a solid wall, allowing unrestricted amounts of glass.
Pilkington Pyrostop meets the impact requirements of CPSC 16CFR1201 Category I and/or Category II. It is fire-rated for up to two hours, passing the required hose stream test, and can be installed in TGP’s narrow- profile Fireframes®, providing safety and visibility. Pilkington Pyrostop is also listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.® in large sizes.
