FireLite, special crystallized glass made by Nippon Electric Glass,
is a new multi-purpose building material that can withstand the sudden rises in temperature that occur in fires.
Even if heated up to 800°C, FireLIte will not crack from the impact shock of cold water.
FireLite has been successfully tested to meet the three hour fire rating code requirements in Australia, Great
Britain, France, Spain and USA. |
With its fire protection properties, FireLite is a new super heat resistant glass material that offers excellent
design potential for construction. The applications for FireLite are expanding since it provides a fire-safe environment
in all safety areas for commercial, industrial, residential and community projects.
