Update 10+ Best Fire Retardant Materials in 2024

10/09/2024

In the current context, fire safety has become a top concern in construction and building design. With the increasing need to protect property and people, choosing effective fire-resistant materials is extremely important. Below is a list of more than 10 types of fire-resistant materials and the best fire-resistant doors in 2024 that you should consider when building or upgrading buildings.

Fireproof Panels

KH Shield Fireproof Panel

Fireproof panels are one of the most popular solutions today due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire. Products such as KH Shield’s Fireshieldpro fireproof panels not only meet international safety standards but can also maintain their effectiveness for a long time. These fireproof panels are made from materials such as fiberglass and other non-combustible substances, helping to protect buildings from the risk of fire.

Fireproof Concrete

Concrete is one of the most common materials used in construction, and with the development of technology, fireproof concrete has also been born. This type of concrete is capable of withstanding high temperatures for a long time without cracking or breaking, helping to protect the building structure and prevent the spread of fire.

Fireproof Gypsum

Gypsum is a common material in the construction of walls and ceilings. When combined with fireproof additives, gypsum becomes an effective protective layer, preventing the spread of fire. This type of fireproof gypsum is often used in areas with high risk of fire and explosion such as warehouses, factories, and industrial buildings.

Fire Doors

Fire doors play an extremely important role in preventing fire from spreading to other areas of the building. Common types of fire doors include fire-rated steel doors and fire-rated wooden doors, which are designed to withstand heat and maintain structural integrity for a long period of time, from 60 minutes to 120 minutes or more. In particular, fire-rated steel doors are the top choice in high-rise buildings and industrial areas.

Fire-Resistant Glass

Fire-resistant glass is a great solution for protecting areas that need natural light but still need to ensure fire safety. Fire-resistant glass is produced by combining multiple layers of glass and a layer of fire-resistant adhesive, creating a glass wall that can withstand high temperatures without breaking. These types of glass are often used in windows and doors in office buildings, hotels, and shopping malls.

Fire-Resistant Insulation Materials

Fire-resistant insulation materials such as KH Shield’s Fireshieldpro khs.mps48 insulation panels not only provide insulation but also prevent the spread of fire. This material is often used in HVAC systems, ducts, and surfaces that need to be protected from high temperatures. With modern technology, these insulation panels can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius for a long time.

Fireproof Columns

Fireproof columns are an important structural component in high-rise buildings and industrial structures. They are often encased in fireproof materials such as concrete, brick, or plaster to ensure that the building’s structure remains intact even in the event of a severe fire.

Fireproofing Fluid

Fireproofing fluid is a versatile product used to treat combustible materials such as wood, fabric, and paper. When sprayed or soaked in a fireproofing fluid, these materials will be resistant to ignition and prevent the spread of fire. Fireproofing fluid is commonly used in the wood industry, furniture manufacturing, and construction projects that use a lot of organic materials.

Fireproofing Duct Covering

Ductwork is an important part of modern buildings, but it is also a potential route for fire and smoke to spread. Fireproofing ductwork is a necessary solution to prevent this risk. Fireproofing materials are usually made from ceramic fibers or other non-combustible materials, which are able to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire through the ductwork system.

Fireshieldpro Technology

KH Shield’s Fireshieldpro technology provides advanced fire protection solutions, including fireproof panels and insulation materials. Fireshieldpro products have been tested and proven to be one of the most effective fire protection solutions available today, with high heat resistance and preventing the spread of fire in many harsh conditions.

Fireproof Wood

Fireproof wood is one of the emerging materials widely used in interior design and home construction. Fireproof wood is treated with fireproof chemicals to enhance its resistance to high temperatures. This makes fireproof wood a popular choice in modern constructions where aesthetics and fire safety are both paramount.

Fireproof Paint

Fireproof paint is a coating applied to the surface of materials such as metal, wood, and concrete to prevent fire from sticking and spreading. This type of paint usually contains chemicals that are heat-resistant and create a protective layer that prevents fire when exposed to high temperatures. Fireproof paint is a flexible and effective solution for protecting combustible surfaces in construction works.
