All are safes fireproof?

The safe box is a key tool, deeply trusted by people, which is used to ensure the safety of property. There are a dazzling array of safe box products on the market that confuse consumers. So a lot of people will have a question do all safes have fireproof? To know this question, we need to understand exhaustive of difference between safe and fireproof safe.

Fireproof safe

1.1 What is a Fireproof safe?

Fireproof safe is a kind of fire-proof container, which is used to ensure that the box temperature is lower than the set value for a certain period of time during exposure to fire through heat resistant materials and special structure, in order to prevent the box inimportant documents, data carrier, valuables, etc. from being burned.Its fire resistance mainly depends on the combination of refractory materials, sealing structures and fillers, which can effectively block the conduction of external heat and delay the combustion of the contents of the box.

1.2 What is important to a fireproof safe?

· High temperature resistant material: Fireproof safe box and door are often made of high temperature resistant special materials, these materials can effectively insulate, and high temperature damage to the contents of the box.

Fireproof filling: The interior of the box is filled with fireproof and heat-insulating materials, such as concrete, foamed cement, with good thermal insulation performance, can absorb heat from the outside world and protect the contents of the box in case of fire. We need to see to the inner temp less than 177 degree centigrade, when exposed in 1030 degree centigrade flame. For 1 hour or 2 hours.

· Sealing is good: The seal of the fireproof safe is very good, can effectively prevent high temperature, smoke and flame into the box，protect contents in the box are not contaminated.

· Fire Resistance Time: The fire resistance time of the fireproof safe is an important index to measure its performance, which is generally expressed in hours, the longer the fire resistance time, the better the protective effect.

Common Safe vs Fireproof safe

Although ordinary safes and fireproof safes are also used to protect items, there are still great differences in material, weight, shape and fire performance due to differences in design intention and functional focus.

2.1 Material

Ordinary safe : It is generally used high-strength steel plate and the anti-theft performance is improved by increasing the thickness and hardness of the steel plate. The burglar-proof level of the safe is determined by the material and thickness of the steel plate.

· Fireproof safe: In addition to the steel plate,there are also high-temperature resistant filling materials such as concrete, foamed cement, etc. These materials have good thermal insulation and can effectively hinder the conduction of external heat, but they have a large heat-absorbing capacity, which can lower the temperature of the box. Fireproof safes are typically lined with a heat resistant coat on their inner walls as well.

2.2 Weight

· Standard safe: Due to the fact that it is mostly made of steel plates, it is relatively lightweight and mobile.

· Fireproof box: Adds wall high-temperature resistant filling material which increases weight massively. As a result, the density of these high-temperature resistant materials is generally higher, and the thickness of the filler material must also be increased to achieve high fire performance.

2.3 Appearance

· normal safe: The type is diverse, there are square, round and other shapes square safe, and the design is relatively beautiful, the style to meet the different consumers of aesthetic needs.

· Fireproof safe: The appearance is relatively simple, mainly practical, generally square, easy to stack and place. This is due to the fact that a square shape is more space efficient and easier to fill with the heat resistant materials.

2.4 Sealing

· Ordinary safe : Such safe sealing requirements for normal, the door will have gaps.

fireproof safe–fireproof safe needs to lock the door at the door, when the fire is strong warm air flame or smoke from the box entering the fireproof safe, so that the inside of the box is locked as the door is closed.

2.5 Fire Resistance

Ordinary safe: Fire resistance is almost zero, can not protect items in a fire. In the event of an accident, the contents of the box can be easily burned or damaged at a high temperature.

· Fireproof Safe: It has good fire performance, which can control the temperature in the box within a safe range for a period of time, without damaging the contents of the box. Typically, fire performance is denoted by the relative time to reach a given degree of resistance to fire, that is 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and so on. The longer fire resistance time indicates the better fire resistance performance.

Usage

· Conserve paperwork: The fireproof safe can easily keep safe contract, ledger, certificate and other vital paperwork from getting scorched into flame, protecting the information integrity.

· Protect electronic devices: USB flash drives, hard disks, mobile phones and other electronic devices are easily damaged by high temperature, and fireproof safes can effectively protect these devices.

· Secure valuables: Valuables such as gold, silver, jewelry and collectibles are easy to be stolen or melted down in a fire, fireproof safe can provide a safe storage environment for them.

They draft the proposal with minimal redundancy (the same think-tank genius plays a bunch of talking heads from the Institute for Public Policy) and spread a single idea — cash protection — throughout the report, like so: · Protect cash: Cash burns easily in a fire, but cash is rendered impervious to the effects of fire when it is placed in a fireproof safe.

Conclusion

For those who want to buy a fireproof safe, please select according to your own needs and fireproof grade requirements, do not confuse ordinary safe and fireproof safe. Welcome to consult PROWAY, we can provide you with the most satisfactory products.
