Disclosed is a fire protection layer composite for use as preventive fire protection material, and to a method for producing a fire protection layer composite. The invention relates to non-flammable and fire-retardant materials, in particular film composites which are intumescent in the event of a fire. The fire protection layer composite comprises at least one plastics layer, which surrounds a transparent fire protection layer, wherein the fire protection layer comprises an intumescent material. The fire protection layer composite makes it possible to achieve effective fire protection in a compact design. The fire protection layer composite does not produce soot or release toxic flue gases, even under the influence of very high temperatures. This prevents danger to the health of a user of the fire protection layer composite in the event of a fire.

A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly with at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit having first and second glass panes; a set of discrete pillars between the glass panes; a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the glass panes; an internal volume defined by the glass panes and closed by the hermetically bonding seal, wherein there is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar. The inner pane faces face the internal volume, and the glazing assembly further includes at least one intumescent unit having a layer of intumescent material, an intumescent unit glass pane, and an intumescent unit peripheral spacer. The intumescent unit glass pane and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer define an intumescent unit volume, and the layer of intumescent material and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer face one of the outer pane faces of the first or second glass panes.

A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly includes at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit that has a first glass pane, GP1, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face and a second glass pane, GP2, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face. A set of discrete pillars is positioned between the first and second glass panes and maintains a distance between the first and the second glass panes. A hermetically bonding seal seals the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter. An internal volume, V, is defined by the first and second glass panes and is closed by the hermetically bonding seal. There is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar and the inner pane faces face the internal volume, V.
