| High performance attack-resistant glass types  German high-technology multinational and specialty glass manufacturer SCHOTT will be showcasing its wide range of attack resistant glass types at Counter Terror Expo in London for the first time. A number of multifunctional glass types that meet the highest safety standards will be on display. The highly sophisticated product portfolio ranges from curved RESISTAN glass laminates serving the civilian market in the area of transparent ballistic vehicle protection to the multi-performance glass PYRANOVA secure which combine protection against burglary attack, bullet penetration and fire resistance.Due to its high performance properties, SCHOTT's range of attack resistant glass can be used in public and commercial areas. The glass is ideal for vehicles or buildings such as prisons, embassies, military facilities and ministries where protection is at its utmost. SCHOTT offers vehicle glazing for the civilian sector that meets the conditions of the highest protection class with respect to civilian standards: VR 7 based on EN 1063 or VR 9 based on VPAM BRV 2009. The curved vehicle protection product RESISTAN is manufactured using SCHOTT's unique BOROFLOAT, a floated borosilicate glass. A quarter of the weight can be saved by using this special material instead of normal glass. PYRANOVA secure is a compact multi-pane composite glass that provides effective protection against the highest levels of manual or ballistic attack plus fire, hot gasses and smoke in architectural applications. NOVOLAY secure is another multi-laminated composite, displaying impressive optical quality while remaining low in specific weight. Both products have been successfully tested in accordance with EN 356 for attack resistance and EN 1063 for bullet resistance achieving up to P8B and BR7 classifications respectively. Additionally, PYRAN S is the only borosilicate glass made by the float glass process and combines exceptional resistance to heat and thermal shock along with excellent optical quality. PYRANOVA is a fire resistant glass that prevents the passage of fire, smoke and heat radiation meeting the EI (integrity & insulation) fire safety requirement for up to 120 minutes. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
