2. 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.

3. Fire-safe polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-safe_polymers

   Fire-safe polymers are polymers that are resistant to degradation at high temperatures. There is need for fire-resistant polymers in the construction of small, enclosed spaces such as skyscrapers, boats, and airplane cabins. [1] In these tight spaces, ability to escape in the event of a fire is compromised, increasing fire risk.

4. Nomex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomex

   Nomex is a trademarked term for an inherently flame-resistant fabric with meta-aramid chemistry widely used for industrial applications and fire protection equipment. It was developed in the early 1960s by DuPont and first marketed in 1967.

5. Mycobond - Wikipedia

   MycoBond is a low-energy material that is heat resistant and fire resistant and is biodegradable.Mycobond was discovered and developed by two Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate students and National Science Foundation (NSF) assisted them in doing so.

6. Fire proximity suit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_proximity_suit

   Proximity suit—used for instance in aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF), providing ambient heat protection up to ≈500 °F (260 °C). Entry suit—used for entry into extreme heat, such as kiln work requiring entry into the heated kiln, and situations requiring protection from total flame engulfment.

7. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

   Fireproofing is rendering something (structures, materials, etc.) resistant to fire, or incombustible; or material for use in making anything fire-proof. [1] It is a passive fire protection measure. "Fireproof" or "fireproofing" can be used as a noun, verb or adjective; it may be hyphenated ("fire-proof").
