During a fire outbreak, the below factors are important. • Correct fittings to minimize the spread of fire• Ensure creating enough fire barriers

Fire Rated Glass is the perfect solution which, in case of fire, helps in reducing the spread of fire, heat and also helps in providing enough time to implement an evacuation plan.

FIRE PROTECTION V/S FIRE RESISTANT

There are a number of glass available for providing a fire rating while also maintaining light passage and a clear view, but we need to understand

the difference between fire protective & fire resistance glass.

AIS PYROBEL

AIS launched a fire- resistant glass under the brand ‘AIS Pyrobel’ to protect one’s life and property during a fire outbreak. ‘AIS Pryobel’ and ‘AIS Pyrobelite’ are laminated glass that consist of an intumescent layer.They are specially engineered to withstand extreme levels of heat, restrict heat transfer and prevent passage of smoke and flames.

HOW DOES AIS PYROBEL WORK?

AIS PYROBEL RANGE

There are 3 types of AIS Pyrobel Glass:-1. E Class – Integrity- They provide

only integrity. These are special tempered glasses and they prevent the spread of flames to the non-fire side. There will be no protection from radiation in this type of glasses. They are normally used for internal applications.

2. EW Class – Integrity & Low Radiation - These are tempered and laminated glasses. They prevent the flames and also control the radiation on the non-fire side to a maximum of 15KW per sqm. They offer integrity and provide for low heat radiation. They are used for internal and external applications.

3. EI Class – Integrity & Insulation - These type of glasses offer integrity and insulation. The maximum temperature on the non-fire side does not exceed an average of 140 degree Celsius.

FRAMING SYSTEM
