Pilkington Pyroclear® is an advanced toughened fire-resistant glass for use as a basic integrity-only barrier. It is based on a new technology development which Pilkington have been perfecting and crafting for several years, built on an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of glass in fire, including new knowledge of the detail that influences the probability of glass failure.

Pilkington Pyroclear® is manufactured to high quality control standards, combining the best available expertise in both automotive and architectural premium glass processing. It is based on NSG proprietary technology combined with new R&D insights on the factors that affect the probability of premature failure of advanced toughened glass in fire (long acknowledged as a weakness of this type) and our proprietary accumulated technical experience on glass and glazing systems for integrity fire resistance from years of extensive fire testing and experience in fire safety.

Features and benefits:

• Pilkington Pyroclear® is an integrity only product for 30 and 60 minutes, (E30 and E60) to BS EN 13501-02.
• Integrity with reduced heat radiation (EW60) is achieved by using Pilkington Pyroclear® Plus in an insulating glass unit (IGU) or a monolithic laminated glass.
• Unique product design and system description, manufacturing process and quality assurance system.
• Recognised to have a superior visual quality due to special processing, high quality toughening and high quality process control.
• Has achieved a target of more than 50 consecutive successful fire tests in timber framed systems.
• Designed for compatible edge cover of up to 20 mm for metal frames and 15 mm for timber (NB. Typical value for modified toughened is commonly given as 10 mm maximum to minimise the risks of unpredictable failure).
• Exploits our developed proprietary R&D knowledge and expertise on glazing systems in timber frames (system design, materials, glazing arrangements).
• Large pane size capability in metal systems (1.970 m x 4.0 m).
• Pilkington Pyroclear® has been tested with a variety of glazing seals including a foam tape option for use in timber doors and screens.
