Combustion of the surface of the outer layer promotes effective sprinkler operation, while combustible material is protected by the fire-retardant protection layer.
Claims13
A packaging system for protecting combustible material in a sprinkler-provided environment, comprising:
- a package to contain combustible material and having an outer layer and an inner layer, wherein the outer layer has a combustible surface and is separated from the inner layer by a fire-retardant protection layer, whereby combustion of the surface of the outer layer promotes effective sprinkler operation, while the combustible material is protected by the fire-retardant protection layer.
A method of providing fire protection for a combustible material in a sprinkler-provided environment, comprising:
- surrounding the combustible material in a package having a combustible outer surface covering a fire-retardant protection layer, such that combustion of the outer surface promotes effective sprinkler operation while the combustible material is protected by the fire-retardant protection layer.
A packaging system for protecting combustible material in a sprinkler-provided environment, comprising:
- a package to contain combustible material and having a combustible outer surface over a fire-retardant protection layer, whereby combustion of the outer surface promotes effective sprinkler operation, while the combustible material is protected by the fire-retardant protection layer.
