fireproof materials
Heat-resistant building components
Fireproof materials are substances that resist combustion or withstand high temperatures without burning, melting, or losing structural integrity.
The term covers everything from asbestos and concrete to specialized fabrics and coatings used in construction, firefighting gear, and industrial applications.
Strictly speaking, few materials are truly fireproof—most are fire-resistant to varying degrees: The safe was lined with fireproof materials.
