In modern society, people's daily lives require extensive use of glass products, and glass has become completely inseparable from them. Glass is stable, resistant to strong acids and alkalis, and durable, making it one of the raw materials required for most important equipment. To further understand the relevant information about fireproof glass and how to choose it, read this article for more details.

1. What is fire-resistant glass

Fire-resistant glass primarily serves to control the spread of fire or block smoke during a fire incident. It is a preventive fire-resistant material, and its fire-resistant effectiveness is evaluated based on its fire resistance. This special glass undergoes specific processing and treatment to maintain its integrity and thermal insulation properties during prescribed fire resistance tests. The base glass for fire-resistant glass can be float glass or tempered glass, and composite fire-resistant glass can also be made from single-piece fire-resistant glass.

There are primarily five types of fire-resistant glass: laminated composite fire-resistant glass, wired fire-resistant glass, special fire-resistant glass, insulating fire-resistant glass, and high-strength single-layer cesium potassium fire-resistant glass.

II. How to choose fire-resistant glass

Before selecting fire-resistant glass, it is necessary to understand the specific fire protection requirements of the fire-resistant components composed of fire-resistant glass, such as fire resistance, heat insulation, smoke insulation, and fire endurance requirements.  

2. Single-piece and composite poured fire-resistant glass cannot be cut with a glass cutter like ordinary flat glass, and must be processed to specific sizes. However, composite (dry process) fire-resistant glass can meet the requirements for cutting.  

When selecting fire-resistant glass to form fire-resistant components, in addition to considering the fire-resistant durability of the glass, its supporting structure and various elements must also meet the requirements for fire resistance.
