When building a house or an office area, you may think about the material’s resistance used against fire. A building fire is something that might happen in the future. Fires can occur due to human error, electrical short circuits, and building maintenance that is not carried out properly, so that the fire is unavoidable. You have to map out fire prevention efforts carefully in your building. One of them is by putting fireproof insulation materials in the planning list.

Fire Blankets that You Usually Find in Commercial Buildings
Fireproof insulation materials are the key to safety and security from fires in public areas. When carrying out hot construction in large shopping malls, hotels, supermarkets, public entertainment places, and other commercial buildings, fire blankets are used directly to reduce and block sparks, molten metal, and flame spread, and to ensure the safety of human life and property.
Fire blanket has prominent characteristics as follow:
-
Non-flammable
-
Resistant to high temperatures. Standard fiberglass fire blankets can generally withstand temperatures around 550°C, while silica-based fire blankets can resist higher temperatures up to 1000–1100°C, depending on the material type and structure
-
Resistant to rubbing
-
Waterproof
-
Fire retardant
-
It has a compact structure with a soft texture
-
Non-irritating and easy to use to wrap objects and equipment with uneven surfaces
-
Resistant to alkali
Specially Processed Flame Retardant Fiber
This flame retardant surface coating has many color choices such as white, red, black, silver gray, beige, and other colors specially provided by the manufacturer that produces it. One of the best fireproof insulation materials is specially processed to carry out its functions properly.
Among the functions of fire blanket fire retardant materials are:
-
As a protective material when doing welding and other activities such as music events where there will be sparks that easily cause fires. The possibility of a fire hazard during welding is quite high. A fire blanket is needed that can withstand sparks, slag, welding sparks, and molten metal, so that it is safe for people to pass through the area.
-
Fire blankets are used to isolate workplaces where electrical energy or machinery can generate sparks during product processing.
-
Fire blankets are also used as a light barrier in the room and at the same time help build a safe, clean, and standard-compliant workspace.
Fiberglass
The most commonly used fireproof insulation material in private halls or commercial buildings is glass wool or also known as fiberglass. The fine strands of glass are woven using a certain technique. Then, resin is incorporated as a binder. That is how fiberglass is made.
Fiberglass is widely used as a fireproof insulation material. Fiberglass sheets packed in rolls can be delivered and installed easily. You can rely on the fiberglass properties that are moisture-resistant, non-flammable, and able to withstand high temperatures up to around 500–600°C, making it suitable for general fire insulation applications in buildings.
High Silica Fiberglass
If you need better fiberglass than ordinary fiberglass, you can consider one of the best fireproof insulation materials called high silica fiberglass. This is a high-temperature resistant inorganic fiber that can be used for a long time at around 1000°C, depending on the working environment.
