Protects against intense fire (843 degrees)
This fire chest is designed to protect paper and data media against intense fire for 30 minutes. It can hold items and documents in A4 size or smaller.
Protect important data media
Since we nowadays store our memories on various digital media such as CD/DVDs, USB flash drives, memory cards and hard drives, a fire chest is a wonderful investment. It can protects both paper and data media for up to 30 minutes, and also very affordable in comparison to e.g. data media safes.
Lockable
The fire chest is equipped with key lock, and comes with two keys, so that we can protect our memories, not only from fire but also to some degree from unauthorised persons in general.
Two keys are included with the box.
How does the fire protection work?
First, the outer plastic casing is burned away.
Then the edges melt together so that the contents are completely encapsulated from fire and smoke.
The filling material in the fire chest's walls contains bound water which starts to evaporate when heating up, which is a process that consume the heat energy.
It is thus the water molecules' absorption of heat energy, during the vaporisation, that help to keep the inner temperature at acceptable levels, until there is too little bound water left to vaporise, which will take at least 30 min in external temperatures about 850°C.
Luckily, such temperatures are usually only reached in the center of the fire, and the center has to move around for fuel, which means that 30 min resistance is a long time in a normal building fire.
