In addition to our extensive product portfolio, and after thorough testing both at the SCHOTT factory in Germany and via independent third parties we are delighted to announce our partnership with SCHOTT as a licenced manufacturer of PYRAN® S glass.

PYRAN® S is a pre-stressed, monolithic borosilicate single pane safety glass in accordance with EN 13024-1.

As a component in fire-resistant glazing that meets the requirements of resistance classes E 30, E 60, E 90 and E 120, it has proven its outstanding optical and mechanical characteristics over the years in a wide variety of buildings.

PYRAN® S is a regulated building material in accordance with the German regulation, Z-70.4-174 and can be used as single or insulating glass in accordance with the “Technical regulations for the use of glazing with linear supports” without having to conduct the Heat Soak Test described in the regulations.

PYRAN® S as a single pane safety glass meets all requirements for improved safety. In the event of breakage it displays a typical toughened glass breakage, such as small fragments, and it meets the requirements of statutory accident insurance as well as the Health and Safety at Work Act, thus providing an added plus in terms of safety and reliability.

PYRAN® is far superior to the traditional types of glass used in fire resistant glass. The secret lies in the interaction between the material and the production process. Manufactured in a micro float facility, which is unique within the world, the fire resistant properties of the special float glass surpass those of soda lime glass by far. The unique combination of borosilicate glass and the float process result in the special glass type PYRAN® S with outstanding properties.

As a component in a wide variety of end products, it has a long record of proven performance in fire resistant glazing in a wide range of buildings.

Fire resistant glazing with PYRAN® protects against the spread of fire, hot gases and smoke. Even under high thermal loads, the glazing stays transparent, ensuring that the burning building can be safely evacuated.

PYRAN® can be used for all applications which must meet high safety requirements but that demand original design as well.
