Claims17
A multi-layer fire resistant composition comprising:
- (a) at least one heat reflective layer having a length, a width a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface;
- (b) at least one impact-resistant mechanical support layer having a length, a width a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface, wherein the impact-resistant mechanical support layer comprises a material selected from the group consisting of:
- stainless steel, nickel, copper, aluminum, brass, and alloys thereof;
- and
- (c) at least one intumescent layer having a length, a width a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface,
- wherein the at least one impact resistant mechanical support layer is positioned between a reflective layer and an intumescent layer, and
- wherein the at least one heat reflective layer, at least one impact-resistant mechanical layer and at least one intumescent layer are affixed together by bending at least two opposing edges of the at least one impact-resistant mechanical support layer such that the at least one heat reflective layer and at least one intumescent layer are fixed along their lengths by the bent edge of the mechanical layer.
