180 minutes fire rated glass (integrity and insulation) doors/windows/partitions/walls(EI180)
For the most demanding fire safety requirements, EI180 fire rated glass delivers an unparalleled three-hour barrier, ensuring maximum integrity and thermal insulation against severe fire conditions.
What is EI180 Fire Rated Glass?
EI180 fire rated glass represents the pinnacle of fire-resistant glazing technology, designed for applications where extreme fire protection is paramount. The "EI" classification, adhering to rigorous European standards like EN 13501-2, denotes its exceptional dual performance:
- ✓ Integrity (E): For an extraordinary 180 minutes (3 hours), the glass maintains its structural integrity, completely preventing the passage of flames and hot gases from the fire-exposed side to the non-fire side. This ensures absolute containment of the fire.
- ✓ Insulation (I): Crucially, for 180 minutes, the glass dramatically limits the transfer of heat to the non-fire side. This robust thermal barrier provides prolonged protection for occupants, allowing ample time for evacuation or safe refuge, and crucially, prevents the ignition of combustible materials in adjacent areas, even under prolonged fire exposure.
This supreme level of insulation is achieved through highly advanced multi-layered glass constructions, incorporating sophisticated intumescent interlayers. These layers react intensely to high temperatures by expanding into a dense, opaque foam, effectively blocking heat radiation and maintaining the integrity of this critical fire barrier.
