German high-technology glass manufacturer SCHOTT will be showcasing its wide range of attack resistant glass types at stand M30 of the Counter Terror Expo in London on April 24 and 25.
A number of multifunctional glass types that meet the highest safety standards will be on display.
The highly sophisticated product portfolio ranges from curved RESISTAN glass laminates, which provide transparent ballistic vehicle protection, to the multi-performance glass PYRANOVA Secure, which combines protection against burglary attack, bullet penetration and fire resistance.
Due to its high performance properties, SCHOTT’s range of attack resistant glass can be used in public and commercial areas. The glass is ideal for both vehicles and buildings, in applications such as prisons, embassies, military facilities and ministries where protection is at its utmost.
SCHOTT offers vehicle glazing for the civilian sector that meets the highest protection standards: VR 7 based on EN 1063 or VR 9 based on VPAM BRV 2009. The curved vehicle protection product RESISTAN is manufactured using SCHOTT’s unique BOROFLOAT, a floated borosilicate glass. A quarter of the weight can be saved by using this special material instead of normal glass.
PYRANOVA Secure is a compact multi-pane composite glass that provides effective protection against the highest levels of manual or ballistic attack, plus fire, hot gasses and smoke in architectural applications. NOVOLAY Secure is another multi-laminated composite, displaying impressive optical quality while remaining low in specific weight. Both products have been successfully tested in accordance with EN 356 for attack resistance and EN 1063 for bullet resistance achieving up to P8B and BR7 classifications respectively.
PYRANOVA is a fire resistant glass that prevents the passage of fire, smoke and heat radiation meeting the EI (integrity & insulation) fire safety requirement for up to 120 minutes.
At Counter Terror Expo, Martin Brown, UK Sales Manager for technical glass solutions at SCHOTT, will be taking part in the workshop Building and Facilities Protection on Thursday 25th April at 15:30. He will be presenting a talk: Multiple Risks – One Safe Solution, that will enable the visitor to understand the functionality of each product and describe how multi-functional glass constructions can safeguard people and property whilst resisting multiple forms of attack.
