Safety glass

PYROSWISS 45 is a highly tempered clear fire-resistant safety glass; recently extended to a more versatile range of UL-listed fire-protective and impact-safety 45-minute applications. It meets fire-rated standards and impact safety ratings. There are no UV-sensitive interlayers, no films or embedded wires, allowing the glass to realize a 90% visible light transmission in its low-iron option. Sound transmission values are among the lowest for its size on the fire-protective market today, with the added benefit of UV stability.
In addition, PYROSWISS 45 is suitable for hollow-metal framing and doors (3/4 inch glass thickness with minimum stop height of 5/8 inches) and is fully sourced and manufactured in North America for greater sustainability benefits.

Panelized curtain wall system

Safti First introduces the patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC, designed for use in non-rated or fire-rated applications. SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first U.S.-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.

Rainscreen system

SAF recently completed the National Fire Protection Association 285 testing and passed for its C-4000 Series, a drained and back-ventilated aluminum composite material rainscreen panel system. SAF’s C-4000 Series system may now be used in NFPA 285-compliant wall assemblies. The assembly that passed comprised SAF C-4000 wall panels, including 4-millimeter Alucobond Plus and SAF extrusions; 2-inch-thick, 4-pounds-per-cubic-foot mineral wool exterior insulation; Tremco Exo-Air 230 water-resistive barrier; 1/2-inch Georgia Pacific DensGlass exterior sheathing; and Aluminum Z girts.
