The best current fireproof materials

Currently, to serve many types of manufacturing and construction industries, scientists have researched and manufactured different fireproof materials. Each different type of material will have different thermal and sound insulation coefficients and properties.

What is fireproof material?

Flame retardant materials are building materials with high heat resistance, slowing down or stopping the spread of fire.

The primary role of a flame retardant material is to act as a flame retardant and insulator and to reduce the flow of heat through the thickness of the material. No material can be 100% fireproof. However, they have helped a lot in protecting and extending the time for people to escape the fire, helping the fire fighting work in time, minimizing the possibility of fire spreading causing greater damage.

Fireproof gypsum board

This is the best fireproof material and is also trusted by many people today, gypsum board is being used for large projects in Vietnam and the world.

Specially formulated with blends of gypsum, fibreglass and additives to provide the best flame retardant properties. So what are the advantages of fireproof gypsum board?

Firstly, the mixture that creates gypsum is a calcium sulfate compound, this compound has absolutely no chemical reaction at a temperature of 2,000 degrees Celsius and when there is a fire, the water molecules in the gypsum will absorb heat and dissolve. launch outside.

Second, the inner core of the gypsum board is glass wool, which is also commonly used insulation and fireproof material, which contributes to the increased fire resistance of the sheet.

Third, the structure must ensure the whole block, not let smoke, toxic gas, hot gas from the area spread through.

Gypsum board currently mainly applied to walls and ceilings, can create partitions for companies and offices. Currently, on the market offering 60- and 120-minute fireproof gypsum boards are common.

Fireproof wood

It sounds absurd because of the nature of wood which is a very flammable and fast-burning material. This is the biggest limitation of wood, although the advantages of this material are aesthetics and durability. Therefore, to meet the needs of using wood in construction while still ensuring safety, researchers have found a method to treat wood by dipping a fireproof solution or fireproof paint for the wood. This will reduce the high flammability of the wood, making the wood more heat resistant as well as reducing the time it takes to catch fire or spread.

Fireproof paint

In fireproof materials, it is impossible not to mention fireproof paint. This is considered the most effective passive fire protection solution today. In addition to fire resistance, they also have other advantages that are aesthetics, flexibility and high durability suitable for most types of construction. There are many types of fire retardant paint for many different materials such as wood, iron and steel… The protection time of fireproof paint depends on the paint rating from 30 to 150 minutes.

Fireproof concrete

Concrete is an extremely popular material in construction, formed from mixing ingredients such as cement, water, and additives. It has the effect of binding rough materials such as brick, stone, gravel or forming a stone-like mass. Today, concrete has been improved to be able to resist fire, increase heat resistance, strength and good corrosion resistance.
