A60 Class Marine Fireproof Glass is a toughened laminated safety glass designed for marine and offshore fire protection. It provides 60 minutes of fire integrity and insulation (A60) in accordance with SOLAS and IMO Resolution A.754(18).
When exposed to fire, the intumescent interlayer expands rapidly, forming a rigid heat‑insulating barrier that blocks flames, smoke, and radiant heat.
Widely used in cargo tanks, accommodation areas, wheelhouses, fire partitions, and A60-rated doors on oil tankers, chemical tankers, container ships, passenger vessels, and offshore platforms.
Certified by CCS, DNV, ABS; excellent weather resistance, high light transmission, and superior sound insulation.
Product Description
The a60 marine fireproof glass is engineered to meet stringent fire protection requirements for commercial and passenger vessels, offshore platforms, and specialized marine applications. Designed to safeguard crew and assets, this glass is intended for marine architects, shipbuilders, and safety engineers who require reliable fire integrity and insulation performance.

The inclusion of ccs dnv approved ship glass certification assures ship operators and regulatory bodies of its verified efficacy in maintaining compartment integrity during fire emergencies.
Constructed from multiple tempered glass panes bonded with an inorganic fire-resistant adhesive, the a60 marine fireproof glass maintains 60 minutes of combined fire integrity and insulation. The fireproof interlayer expands under heat, creating an insulating barrier that blocks flames, smoke, and radiant heat, verified under rigorous classification society requirements. Certified as ccs dnv approved ship glass, it achieves over 70% light transmittance while providing sound insulation near 42 dB. The glass resists temperature extremes from -40°C to +60°C without degradation. Edge sealing with flame-retardant materials enhances durability and long-term performance in harsh marine ambient conditions, reinforcing its position as a premium marine fire resistant glass supplier.
The a60 marine fireproof glass is suited for installation across diverse marine vessels including tankers, LNG carriers, passenger ships, and offshore platforms, where fire safety is critical. Its incorporation into fire-rated door vision panels, fixed windows in hazardous zones, and fire separation partitions ensures operational continuity and personnel protection. It functions as part of an integrated marine fire safety system compliant with CCS, DNV, and ABS classification standards. Operators benefit from its dual role in ensuring safety and providing high optical clarity for monitoring critical areas onboard. This product supports regulatory compliance and risk mitigation strategies in complex maritime environments, making it indispensable to marine architects and fire safety engineers.
The a60 marine fireproof glass features a layered tempered glass design combined with a fireproof interlayer that systematically expands upon exposure to fire, supporting compartmentalization in ship construction. As a marine fire resistant glass supplier, the product’s compatibility with existing A60-rated door frames and fire partitions offers modular integration into vessel safety systems. Its certification as ccs dnv approved ship glass confirms compliance with classification society requirements, facilitating streamlined approval processes during shipbuilding and retrofitting. The robust edge sealing and adaptability to diverse panel shapes and sizes enhance installation flexibility, providing a comprehensive fire glazing solution engineered for the marine environment.
From a performance standpoint, the a60 marine fireproof glass delivers consistent fire endurance of 60 minutes, critical for safe evacuation and damage control during onboard fire events. Its high light transmittance improves visibility, supporting crew situational awareness without compromising fire protection standards. The sound insulation properties reduce noise pollution in engine rooms and accommodation areas. As a marine fire resistant glass supplier, our solutions optimize system reliability and longevity under rigorous marine conditions, minimizing maintenance requirements and lifecycle costs. The product’s conformity with classification standards such as ccs dnv approved ship glass ensures dependable fire performance, contributing to vessel safety management and operational efficiency.
Fireproofing Principle
The product consists of two or more layers of tempered glass with an inorganic fire-resistant adhesive layer (dry or wet process nano-silica) sandwiched in between, and is sealed with flame-retardant material around the edges. When exposed to fire, the glass on the side facing the flames shatters, while the fireproof adhesive expands by approximately ten times, forming a rigid insulating barrier that blocks the transmission of flames, high temperatures, and smoke.
Core Features
✅ Fire resistance rating: A60 (60-minute integrity + insulation). Average temperature rise on the back side ≤ 140℃, effectively preventing heat radiation.
✅ High light transmittance: Light transmittance ≥ 70%, minimal light distortion, clear vision.
✅ **Extremely strong weather resistance: -40℃ to +60℃** stable, resistant to UV rays, does not yellow, does not delaminate.
✅ Excellent sound insulation: Approximately 42dB, balancing fire resistance and noise reduction.
✅ Safety enhancement: Tempered + laminated structure, resistant to impact, prevents splashing.
Application Scenarios (for ships)
Tankers / Oil tankers: Windows facing the cargo oil area in the living quarters, rectangular windows (always closed type)
Engine rooms / Control rooms: Fireproof partitions, observation windows, A60 grade fireproof door glass
Upper structures: Corridors, passages, fire separation zones for important compartments
Special ships: Chemical tankers, LNG ships, passenger-cargo ships, yachts, offshore platforms
Fireproof Observation Windows in Engine Rooms and Control Centers
In the demanding environment of engine rooms and control centers aboard commercial vessels, the a60 marine fireproof glass serves as a critical fire-resistant observation window. This glass provides clear visibility for monitoring machinery while maintaining fire compartment integrity in compliance with CCS and DNV classifications. Its fireproof interlayer ensures 60 minutes of heat and flame resistance, enabling safe operational assessment during emergencies. Integration with A60 fire-rated doors and partitions supports marine fire safety protocols, aiding crew in early detection and response. The glass’s resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses typical in engine rooms underscores its suitability as certified ccs dnv approved ship glass within marine fire resistant glass supplier portfolios.
Fire Partitions and Door Vision Panels on Passenger and Tanker Vessels
Passenger ships and tankers require rigorous fire separation to ensure passenger safety and cargo protection. The a60 marine fireproof glass is utilized in fire partitions and vision panels of A60-rated doors to maintain compartmentalization as mandated by international maritime safety regulations. Its fire-resilient properties prevent flame propagation and reduce radiant heat transfer across bulkheads. Certified as ccs dnv approved ship glass, it assures classification societies and shipowners of compliance with SOLAS and IMO standards. This glass integrates effectively into the ship’s overall fire safety system, facilitating safe evacuation routes while retaining natural light and visibility, essential for crew navigation and emergency management during incidents.
