Sheetrock for Fire
Protection
That’s right. Most gunsafe manufacturers
use sheetrock for fire protection. It’s cheap, and highly effective.
A typical gunsafe may have over 100 lbs of sheetrock inside of it. Moisture,
normally trapped in the gypsum mixture, when heated above 212 F, turns
to steam and escapes. Turning all that moisture to steam requires the
heat energy that the fire may be putting into the steel safe body, and
will hold the internal temperature of the safe at approximately 220 F
until the sheet rock has dried out completely. |
