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

    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.

  3. Ceramic armor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_armor

    Ceramic armor is armor used by armored vehicles and in personal armor to resist projectile penetration through its high hardness and compressive strength. In its most basic form, it consists of two primary components: A ceramic layer on the outer surface, called the "strike face," backed up by a ductile fiber reinforced plastic composite or metal layer.

  4. Chobham armour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chobham_armour

    Ceramic tiles have a multiple hit capability problem in that they cannot sustain successive impacts without quickly losing much of their protective value. [6] To minimise the effects of this the tiles are made as small as possible, but the matrix elements have a minimal practical thickness of about 25 mm (approximately one inch), and the ratio of coverage provided by tiles would become ...

  5. Heat shield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_shield

    An aerodynamic heat shield consists of a protective layer of special materials to dissipate the heat. Two basic types of aerodynamic heat shield have been used: An ablative heat shield consists of a layer of plastic resin, the outer surface of which is heated to a gas, which then carries the heat away by convection.

  6. Fire-safe polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-safe_polymers

    Traditional polymers decompose under heat and produce combustible products; thus, they are able to originate and easily propagate fire (as shown in Figure 1). Figure 1: A general scheme of polymer combustion. The combustion process begins when heating a polymer yields volatile products.

  7. Bulletproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproofing

    Bullet-resistant materials (also called ballistic materials or, equivalently, anti-ballistic materials) are usually rigid, but may be supple. They may be complex, such as Kevlar, UHMWPE, Lexan, or carbon fiber composite materials, or basic and simple, such as steel or titanium. Bullet resistant materials are often used in law enforcement and ...

  8. Fireplace fireback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace_fireback

    The primary functions of a fireback are to protect the wall at the back of the fireplace and radiate heat from the fire into the room. The protection was especially important where the wall was constructed of insubstantial material such as daub (a mud and straw mixture coating interwoven wooden wattles), brick or soft stone.

  9. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

    Spray gypsum-based plaster fireproofing being installed. Circuit integrity fireproofing of cable trays, using calcium silicate boards. Damaged spray fireproofing. Fireproofing is rendering something (structures, materials, etc.) resistant to fire, or incombustible; or material for use in making anything fire-proof. [1]
