2. 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").

3. Foam concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_concrete

   Foamed concrete can be produced with dry densities of 400 to 1600 kg/m 3 (25 lb/ft 3 to 100 lb/ft 3), with 7-day strengths of approximately 1 to 10 N/mm 2 (145 to 1450 psi) respectively. Foam concrete is fire resistant, and its thermal and acoustical insulation properties make it ideal for a wide range of purposes, from insulating floors and ...

4. Plasticine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticine

   Harbutt wanted a non-drying clay for his sculpture students. He created a non-toxic, sterile, soft and malleable clay that did not dry when exposed to air. Harbutt received a patent in 1899 and commercial production started at a factory in Bathampton in 1900. The original Plasticine was grey, but four colours were produced for initial sales to ...

5. Modelling clay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelling_clay

   Paper clay is handmade or commercially available clay to which a small percentage of processed cellulose fiber is added. The fiber increases the tensile strength of the dry clay and enables dry-to-dry and wet-to-dry joins. Commercial paper clays air-dry to a firm, lightweight sculpture, with minimal shrinking during the drying process. [4]

6. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

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

   Fire-retardant materials are designed to burn slowly.. 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.

7. Adobe - Wikipedia

   The dirt was contoured into a low slope to a downspout aka a 'canal'. When moisture was applied to the roof the clay particles expanded to create a waterproof membrane. Once a year it was necessary to pull the weeds from the roof and re-slope the dirt as needed. [citation needed] Depending on the materials, adobe roofs can be inherently fire-proof.
