Subheading: Fire-resistant Glass:
Fire-resistant glass is a type of transparent glass that keeps the area outside of the fire at normal temperature and does not transfer heat to the other side.
It can come in different thicknesses depending on the degree of fire protection.
For glass to be fire-resistant, it must be specially designed and its fire resistance and performance times must be determined by testing.
There are three different markings in the fire-resistant glass classification:
E = Maintains product integrity within the flame resistance time.
W = Prevents certain radiation within the radiation restriction time.
I = Does not transfer the heat generated within the isolation time to the other side.
Glass falling into the EI30 class completely prevents the passage of flame, smoke, toxic gases, radiant heat, and temperature for 30 minutes.
Glass falling into the EI60 class completely prevents the passage of flame, smoke, toxic gases, radiant heat, and temperature for 60 minutes.
Glass falling into the EI90 class completely prevents the passage of flame, smoke, toxic gases, radiant heat, and temperature for 90 minutes.
Glass falling into the EI120 class completely prevents the passage of flame, smoke, toxic gases, radiant heat, and temperature for 120 minutes.
Usage Areas: Fire-resistant glass has a wide range of applications, from hospitals to shopping malls, airports to schools, fire doors to partitions, and roofs to windows.
