Fire-resistant materials

Fire-resistant materials are specially designed substances that can withstand high temperatures and slow down or prevent the spread of fire. They are used in building construction, textiles, and other applications to improve safety by limiting fire damage and providing more time for evacuation. These materials contain ingredients that either resist ignition, absorb heat, or create a barrier to heat transfer. Examples include fire-rated drywall, intumescent paints, and treated fabrics. Proper use of fire-resistant materials helps protect lives and property by reducing the risk and impact of fires.
