Pilkington’s Fire Protection Glass team will present Pilkington Pyrostop® R, Pilkington Pyrodur® R and Pilkington Pyroclear® R, its fire-resistant glass products, which are used in rail-bound vehicles, at InnoTrans in Berlin, the world’s leading trade fair for transport technology.
Significantly, a large number of Pilkington products are compliant with EN 45545-2, the European railway standard for safety that tests hazard levels in case of fire. All tested products achieved the highest-class HL 3, as they greatly reduce the spread of fire, causing only a low rate of heat release in the event of a blaze, as well as producing low levels of smoke toxicity and smoke density.
