Materials that resist catching fire, burn slowly, or retard burning can be described as either "incombustible", "non-flammable", "non-combustible", "fire-resistant" or "fire-retardant". "Self-extinguishing" materials cease burning once the flame or heat source is removed. "Fireproof" is understood to mean that an object cannot burn, but few materials are truly fireproof.
Most of our products fall within one or more of the above descriptions: they resist high temperature, flame, fire, molten metal splash and weld splatter very well but may melt with prolonged exposures past their designed maximum continuous operating temperature.
They can also provide OSHA, ANSI-FM & NFPA compliance and personnel protection. Using our products to retain, reflect or insulate heat or cold within pipes, hoses, enclosures or equipment helps conserve energy and resources, and reduces operating costs.
