Safety with creativity. PYRAN® and PYRANOVA® fire resistant glazing for maximum safety and freedom of design The Red Bull Hangar in Salzburg: PYRAN® S fi re resistant butt joint glazing opens a new dimension in transparent architecture for frameless glazing at Hangar 7. The PYRAN® S butt joint glazing spans heights from fl oor to ceiling up to 3.40 m and is installed without vertical framing. 2 The future becomes the present when visions meet the possible. From a glass pioneer to an international group of companies In 1884, the chemist Otto Schott, the optician Ernst Abbe and the mechanic Carl Zeiss, together with his son Roderich Zeiss, laid the foundation for modern glass science and technology. The technical glass laboratory they founded, Schott & Genossen [associates], later Jenaer Glaswerk [Jena glass factory] revolutionised glass manu facturing at that time. In particular, the invention of the borosilicate glass, offering resistance to chemical attack, high temperatures and temperature differentials, in the years 1887 to 1893 led to the company’s rapid advancement. Today, borosilicate glass is still the basic composition for numerous products offered by the company, including PYRAN® fi re resistant glass. Photo: Bruno Klomfar Municipal hall, Vienna. In order to meet the highest security requirements, the entire balustrade in the vicinity of the emergency escape routes is made up of PYRANOVA® fi re resistant glass from SCHOTT. 4 Dresden airport: The partition walls between the check-in hall and the waiting zone and between the baggage claim area and the arrivals hall are made of a construction employing 6 mm PYRAN® S in a steel frame system. Continuous improvement results in automatic growth. SCHOTT – A highly dynamic group of technological companies As a globally active technological group of companies, SCHOTT develops, produces and supplies special materials, components and systems. The priority task for SCHOTT‘s products is to continue to improve living and working conditions for people in the future. The SCHOTT group of companies is represented with production and sales facilities in all important markets, close to the customer. The major markets include the following sectors: Household appliances, Pharmaceuticals, Solar energy, Electronics, the Automotive and Optics sectors. SCHOTT‘s outstanding competence in the fi eld of special glass manufacturing is well-known through its CERAN® brand glass ceramic hobs, and equally by the fi re resistant glazing manufactured by the Inter Continental Hotel Düsseldorf: company’s subsidiary SCHOTT JENAer Glas GmbH: The building façade consists of insulated PYRAN® and PYRANOVA®. units with laminated safety glass in both leafs to provide thermal insulation, With its extensive portfolio of products and services, noise reduction and security. In addition supported by strong branding, SCHOTT is globally 5 mm PYRAN® S was included in one recognised as being synonymous with top quality of the laminates to provide crucial fi re and creativity. Supported by the confi dence of resistant properties. our customers, suppliers and partners, more than 16,000 employees worldwide are dedicated to continuous innovation and a strong entrepreneurial spirit at SCHOTT. 5 The molten glass, which is viscous at over 1,000 degrees Celsius, is guided to a longish liquid tin bath. Just like a fi lm of oil on water, the lighter borosilicate glass fl oats on the molten tin, spreading itself evenly over the surface. Thus exceptionally smooth surfaces are created and the thickness can be controlled. 6 To achieve ground-breaking success, you must be prepared to take new routes. Floated borosilicate glass for unique fi re protection What makes borosilicate fi re resistant glazing so unique? Borosilicate glass is the basic material for the entire product range of PYRAN® fi re resistant glazing. Borosilicate glass is manufactured on a micro-fl oat system which is unique worldwide. The result of the unparalleled combination of borosilicate glass and the fl oat process is a special glass with outstanding properties. PYRAN® fi re resistant glazing made of borosilicate is far superior to normal safety glass with a soda-lime composition. In case of fi re, the borosilicate glass offers lower thermal expansion, and an inherent ability to withstand high temperatures and tem- Compared to soda-lime glass, borosili- perature differentials. cate glass has lower thermal expansion. Even in simple frame constructions borosilicate glass resists high temperatures and has long staying power. 7 Photo: Eskenazi D. Architect: J.-P.

SCHOTT fi re resistant glazing – detailed requirements Fire resistance categories for individual protection requirements According to EN classifi cation 13501-2 the fi re resistance performance is expressed by letters, explaining the functional requirement and numbers explaining the performance time in minutes: E: Integrity – provides a physical barrier against fl ame, hot gases and smoke. EI: Integrity & insulation – provides a physical barrier against fl ame, hot gases and smoke as well as a reduced surface temperature and restistance against spontanious ignition on the unexposed side. EW: Provides a physical barrier against fl ame, hot gases and smoke and offers a reduced heat radiation. E EW EI The fi gure specifi ed following the letter combination indicates the lowest period of time for which the glass is resistant e.g. E 30 for 30 minutes. Cœur Défense Paris: The connecting area between the two towers is realized with PYRAN® S, offering 60 minutes integrity. Between the facade and glass wall a classifi cation of 120 minutes integrity is achieved. The glazing is a double glazing with integrated blinds. 9 © Jochen Stüber, Hamburg Enno Schneider architects I Prof. Schneider Dr. + Co.

The construction was made using the PYRAN® S butt joint system, erected as double-laminated safety glass to guard against the risk of falling. The system provides fi re resistance category E 30 protection. 10 The future poses new require- ments? Pyran fulfils them now.
