2. Fire blanket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_blanket

   A fire blanket is so large that a burning vehicle can be completely covered with it (typical size is e.g. 6 m x 9 m to cover large SUVs) - and are extremely heat-resistant (1000 to 1600+ degrees). Also one has to consider the difference between allowed short-term peak temperature and long-term temperature.

3. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fire-retardant...

   Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one which is designed to resist burning and withstand heat. An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building.

4. Active fire protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_fire_protection

   A fire blanket is a sheet of fire retardant material that is designed to be placed over a fire to smother it out. Small fire blankets are meant for inception stage fires. They are normally made of fiberglass or Kevlar . [ 1 ]

6. Firefighting foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefighting_foam

   In the early 1970s, National Foam, Inc. invented alcohol-resistant AFFF technology. AR-AFFF is a synthetic foam developed for both hydrocarbon and polar-solvent materials. Polar solvents are combustible liquids that destroy conventional fire-fighting foam. These solvents extract the water contained in the foam, breaking down the foam blanket.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   The classic version has a thermal resistance (R value) of 3.7 per inch and other versions have even higher values. [10] The formula also includes a flame retardant. Icynene uses water for its spray application and the chemical expansion is caused by the carbon dioxide generated between the water and isocyanate material.
