2. Asbestos insulating board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos_insulating_board

   Asbestos insulating board (AIB), also known by the trade names Asbestolux and Turnabestos, is an asbestos -containing board formerly used in construction for its fire resistance and insulating properties. [1] These boards were commonly used in the United Kingdom from the 1950s until production ended in 1980. AIB is 16-35% asbestos, typically a ...

3. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   A natural fire retardant, thermal insulating cork board is also non-allergenic, simple-to-install and a considerably safer substitute to fiber and plastic based insulation. Notable challenges with cork include difficulty in maintenance and cleaning especially if the material is exposed to heavy use such as insulation for flooring.

4. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

   Cork thermal insulation refers to the use of cork as a material to provide thermal insulation against heat transfer. Cork is suitable as thermal insulator, as it is characterized by lightness, elasticity, impermeability, and fire resistance. In construction, cork can be applied in various construction elements like floors, walls, roofs, and ...

5. Calcium silicate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_silicate

   Calcium-silicate passive fire protection board being clad around steel structure in order to achieve a fire-resistance rating. Calcium silicate is commonly used as a safe alternative to asbestos for high-temperature insulation materials. Industrial-grade piping and equipment insulation is often fabricated from calcium silicate.

6. Cork (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(material)

   Cork is an impermeable buoyant material. It is the phellem layer of bark tissue which is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber (the cork oak), which is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa. Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance. Because of its impermeable, buoyant, elastic, and fire retardant ...

7. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

   Circuit integrity fireproofing of cable trays, using calcium silicate boards. Damaged spray 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 ...
