What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘fireproof’? Does this refer to an object that can withstand fire or extinguish a fire on its own in the event of a fire? You may also think that ‘fireproof’ is the property of a material that is used to coat a surface to protect it when the fire rises. The fireproof definition is closely related to the nature of resistance to fire or non-flammable and can also be materials used in making something fire-resistant.
The term fireproof often appears in fields such as residential or commercial construction, aerodynamics, industrial construction, underground and above-ground mining operations, offshore construction, tunnel concrete protection, and many more. Forms of application of fire-resistant materials include coating the surface of objects in a room, spraying fire-resistant materials on ceiling walls, making fire-resistant clothing for certain purposes such as firefighting costumes or film shooting properties for fire scenes, and filling between materials gaps.

Fire-Resistant Material for Sturdy Construction
The construction process always requires fire-resistant materials. This fire-resistant building material is starting to be in demand by the public because it is considered to minimize the risk of fire hazards. Several materials are popular and often used for the construction of residential and commercial buildings. Before starting the construction process, it’s a good idea to recognize the fireproof definition of the material used.
Gypsum
This material has a high resistance to fire. Some types of plaster contain chemical liquids that can inhibit the combustion process and the spread of fire. In terms of aesthetics, gypsum is beautiful to be applied to the construction of houses or commercial buildings. Smooth gypsum texture with a neat surface can be aesthetic to be your ceiling.
Fireproof Glass
You can see the fireproof definition from this material. Fireproof glass uses tempered glass as raw material with a strength four times greater than ordinary glass. This type of glass has high fire resistance. If one day there is a fire, the glass on the outer layer will break before the glass on the inner layer. This can extend the duration of fire penetration and reduce the risk of fire. People who are in the area with this fireproof glass will have enough time to escape from the fire area.
Concrete
Concrete is the proof of fireproof definition. The strong durability of concrete and its high fire resistance make building owners prefer concrete for their building construction. The fire resistance of concrete is even better than that of steel. Concrete can withstand fire longer until the heat of the fire has penetrated it. Victims trapped in concrete buildings had a long enough time to survive until firefighters arrived at the location.
Fire Retardant Fabric
You can find the fireproof definition of fire-resistant fabric products that are now widely sold in the market. The market accepts fire-resistant fabrics with open arms for various purposes such as manufacturing fire-resistant gloves for work, tactical equipment, military protective clothing, oil and gas protective clothing, motorcycle clothing, welding, and other utilities.
Have you ever seen welding work or hot construction in an open area? When carrying out hot construction such as in supermarkets, hotels, shopping malls, and other public places, the use of fire blankets can directly reduce the insulation and blocking of dangerous explosives. Fire retardant fabric also protects the people around and property of sparks during welding, cutting, etc.
The fire retardant fabric is not flammable in contact with fire, long-term use temperature flame retardant fabric with functions such as rubbing resistance, fire resistance, and alkali resistance. Fire retardant fabric is made of fire retardant fiber through a special process so that it becomes non-flammable.
