Why Fireproof Insulation Matters: Lessons from Global Fires
Date: 2025-05-27 Categories: News Hits: 118
1. Global Fire Disasters: Wake-Up Calls
In recent years, wildfires and structural fires have caused immense losses:
- 2025, California: 17,000+ buildings destroyed in LA wildfires
- 2024, Texas: Over 1 million acres burned in Smokehouse Creek Fire
- 2024, Canada: Jasper National Park saw mass evacuations
- 2024, Portugal: 135,000+ hectares affected, 9 lives lost
These events reveal one recurring issue: insufficient fire-resistant insulation.
2. Our Solution: Aerogel Composite Insulation
At Skyboys, we provide cutting-edge aerogel-based thermal insulation solutions for high-risk applications.
3. Product Advantages
Property | Skyboys Aerogel Blanket | Traditional Materials |
Thermal Conductivity | 0.018 W/m·K | ≥0.035 W/m·K |
Fire Endurance | ≥90 min (UL10C) | ≤60 min |
Weight/Thickness | 30–50% lighter | Heavier & bulkier |
Water Resistance | ≥99% Hydrophobic | Prone to moisture |
Eco Compliance | SGS/RoHS certified | May contain asbestos/VOCs |
4. Real Testing: 1000°C Burn-Through
We exposed 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm aerogel blankets to direct 1000°C flames. The 5mm sample showed no charring, no burn-through — maintaining its full insulation performance.
5. Application Scenarios
