,The most versatile solution for applications demanding maximum Fire-Resistive protection in the largest possible dimensions.
CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan is a single or multi-chamber fire-resistive glass made of two or more sheets of toughened safety glass. The cavity between the glass sheets is sealed to be completely moisture-resistant, is then filled with an environmentally friendly, transparent and UV-stable intumescent interlayer that reacts when exposed to fire. The level of fire resistance required determines the number of sheets of toughened safety glass and interlayers included.
In the event of fire, it offers full heat insulation for the compartmentalization of fire. This product satisfies the highest demands of fire protection while offering robust handling and UV stability, with numerous configurations available.
  • Available in single, double, or triple glazing (IGU) 
  • Rated for full fire-resistance from 45 to 120 minutes 
  • Symmetrical 1(B)1 impact resistance (EN 12600)
  • Extended exposure time of 5,000 hours UV stability versus standard 2,000 hours 
  • Large variety of low-E and solar control coatings  
  • Exceptional U values (double glazing ≥ 0.9 W/m²K, triple glazing ≥ 0.5 W/m²) 
  • Available in large dimensions 
  • Moisture- and pressure-resistant edge sealing for extended durability 
  • Excellent acoustic insulation properties 
  • Many design and comfort options 
  • Manufactured locally for fast delivery and reduced CO2 emissions
  • Can serve as laminated safety glass  
  • Easy, secure handling and installation 
,Butt-joint fire-resistant glazing system for interior & exterior applications (under specific conditions)
CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan Structure sets new standards in the design of transparent fire protection. The floor-to-ceiling glazing system provides a continuous, uninterrupted glass wall, joined only with silicone. Made of CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan fire-resistant glass, CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan Structure is engineered to achieve the mechanical resistance required to support interior wall line-loads and offer superior edge aesthetic.

Fire-rated glass is an essential component in modern architecture, providing both safety and aesthetic appeal. Let's explore three successful projects that showcase the use of fire-rated glass from industry leaders AGC, VETROTECH, Saint-Gobain, and PILKINGTON, Zapopan.
1. Project: The Shard (London, UK)
AGC's Pyrobel fire-rated glass was used in the iconic Shard building in London. This high-rise structure required advanced fire protection without compromising on design. AGC's Pyrobel provided a transparent solution that met stringent safety standards while allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces.
2. Project: Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE)
VETROTECH's CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan fire-rated glass was utilized in the construction of the world-renowned Burj Khalifa in Dubai. This skyscraper required superior fire resistance capabilities due to its height and complexity. VETROTECH's innovative fire-rated glass offered maximum protection against flames and smoke while maintaining a sleek and modern appearance.
3. Project: Louvre Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi, UAE)
Saint-Gobain's CONTRAFLAM in Zapopan Structure fire-rated glass was selected for the Louvre Abu Dhabi museum project. This architectural masterpiece demanded a combination of safety and elegance to protect priceless artworks and visitors. Saint-Gobain's fire-rated glass provided exceptional thermal insulation properties along with enhanced acoustic performance, creating a secure yet inviting environment.
Advantages of using fire-rated glass from these industry leaders include:
