Pyrostop® Provides Extra Protection Against Heat Transfer
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Pyrostop® is a fire-rated, impact safety-rated, transparent wall panel that helps block heat transfer. While fire-rated glass typically contains 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 emanating from a fire. In those cases, Pyrostop transparent wall panels make an excellent alternative to a solid wall.
Similar to bullet resistant glass, the product is composed of multiple sheets of laminated glass. Upon exposure to fire, the sheet of glass closest to the fire will fracture and the inner fire protection layers will foam up to form an opaque shield against radiant and conductive heat.
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 hose stream test. It can also be teamed up with recently approved Fireframes, providing maximum safety with sleek design.
Pyrostop is currently available nationwide. It is listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and/or Warnock Hersey International in sizes up to 5,605 square inches of exposed glazing. For complete details, call Technical Glass Products at 1-800-426-0279 or visit www.fireglass.com.
