Vetrotech PYROSWISS Now Certified for 45 Minute Use
Vetrotech Saint-Gobain PYROSWISS has been extended to a more versatile range of UL-listed fire-protective and impact-safety 45 minute applications. Extending tint-free glass from 20 to 45 minutes using the original process while passing the hose stream test demonstrates the company’s commitment to safety and fire-ratings.
There are no UV-sensitive interlayers, no films or embedded wires in PYROSWISS 45, allowing the glass to realize 90% visible light transmission in its low-iron option. Sound transmission values are among the lowest for its size on the fire-protective market today, with the added benefit of UV stability.
“PYROSWISS was our first fire-protective product,” said Kevin Norcross, general manager of Vetrotech Saint-Gobain’s North American facility in Auburn, Washington. “This update expands on that original listing while providing the modern, ‘no-compromise’ approach that Vetrotech has become known for. Our customers will value the imperceptible protection of PYROSWISS 45 as much as its close match to non-fire-rated building glass.”
