Concrete can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C for up to 4 hours, while steel can only withstand up to 550°C for a minimum of 30 minutes. To protect steel beyond 30 minutes requires intumescent coatings, rigid board fireproofing, or flexible blanket systems made of materials like mineral wool or fiberglass that expand when heated to form an insulating char layer between the steel and fire. These materials are rated to withstand temperatures from 120 minutes to over 3 hours depending on the specific product used.

CONCRETE STEEL
Steel can withstand up to maximum
Concrete is a Fire resistant material. of 550 c in temperature. Can As it can withstand up to max of withstand minimum duration of 30 1000 degree Celsius in temperature. minutes.
It requires a fire resistant material
It can long last up to 4 hours. beyond 30 minutes. Methods to Protect Steel Intumescent Coatings • It undergoes a chemical reaction and expand when subjected to extreme temperatures. When it fire occurs it expands up to 100 times the original thickness of the material. • Products : NULLIFIRE – Max Temp Up to 120 minutes. • PROMAT Cafco® SPRAYFILM WB3 from Dulux – Max temp up to 180 minutes • ISOLATEK Rigid Board Fireproofing • Rigid Board Fire Resistive Materials is a rigid, mineral wool board that is mechanically fastened to beams, columns and metal decking to meet hourly fire rating requirements. • Products : NORKOTE – service provider , ISOLATEK - Max temp up to 3 hours.
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete
• An excellent material for soundproofing material and acoustic insulation. Highly fire- and termite- resistant withstand up to 8 hrs. • Products : Renacon aac blocks Flexible Blanket Systems Flexible fire protection systems have been developed as a response to the need for an easily applied fire protection material which can be used on complex shapes and details but where application is a dry trade.
