Monolithic fireproof glass is a kind of special glass composed of single-layer glass, which adopts special technology to carry out chemical and physical treatment or only physical treatment on the glass to meet the requirements of corresponding fire resistance rating. In a specific time, the monolithic fireproof glass can maintain fire resistance integrity in case of fire and form a barrier to prevent the diffusion and extension of flame and toxic and harmful gases. In order to ensure that there is sufficient time to escape and carry out rescue and relief operations in case of fire. However, monolithic fireproof glass does not have the effect of fire resistance and heat insulation. It belongs to class C fireproof glass and is not suitable for use in places with heat insulation performance requirements.

Monolithic fireproof glass has the advantages of fire prevention, light weight, high strength and good weather resistance. Because there is no foam layer in the middle, it is only fireproof and has no thermal insulation function. In addition to its excellent fire resistance, the strength of single fireproof glass is also excellent. With the same thickness, its strength is 6 ~ 12 times that of float glass.

Monolithic fireproof glass is suitable for use in various natural environments. Under the long-term irradiation of the sun, the appearance will not change. It can also be processed into laminated fireproof glass, fireproof insulating glass, coated fireproof glass, curtain wall fireproof glass, etc. it is suitable for external curtain wall, outdoor window, smoke retaining vertical wall, non insulated fireproof glass door, and fireproof partition wall curtain wall without thermal insulation requirements.

Difference between general glass and single fireproof glass in case of fire:

Generally, float glass is cracked in 30 seconds and tempered glass is cracked in 1 minute. It does not have fire resistance integrity and cannot hinder the extension of fire within a certain time. In case of fire, the single fireproof glass can not burst for 30-120 minutes at a high temperature of 1000 ℃, which can effectively restrict the scale of fire and smoke.

In modern buildings, there are various kinds of glass used for the outer enclosure of buildings, such as tempered glass, laminated glass, insulating glass, float glass, coated glass, etc. these glasses have different properties, but these kinds of glass do not have the function of heat resistance and fire prevention. Once a fire occurs, the glass will break in a very short time, so that the fire can be extended, and people's life and industry are seriously threatened. The correct use of fireproof glass can ensure people's lives and industries, and provide space for escape and rescue and disaster relief operations.
