Fire resistant glass is the type of glass material that controls the spread of fire, hazardous smoke, hot gases or flames, and transfer of heat under the condition of use. Fire resistivity depends on the levels of prevention that is classified as integrity (E), insulation (I), and radiant heat control (EW). This glass is used in buildings, marine vessels, and oil refineries. This glass comes with various fire ratings, ranging between 20 and 180 minutes. The use of fire resistant glass depends on the area and size limitations under the applicable building code and/or the authority having jurisdiction. Fire resistant glass is manufactured by sheet glass processing. The main raw materials used in the fire resistant glass manufacturing are silica sand, soda ash, limestone, dolomite alumina, fire retardant intumescent interlayers, ceramics, and wires.
