Fireguardia Fire Retardant vs. Steel Over Styrofoam
1. A piece of Styrofoam is protected with two layers of FireGuardia coating without an intermediate cooling layer.
2. A hand is under the Styrofoam.
3. A 1" wide by 1/4" in thickness piece of steel is placed on top of the protected Styrofoam.
4. An Oxyacetylene cutting torch that has a maximum temperature of 3,300° C | 6,000° F is applied directly to the piece of steel.
4. The Oxyacetylene torch uses a jet of compressed Oxygen (2,200 psi) that acts as the cutting medium.
5. The torch is in contact for 1 minute and 39 seconds until it pierces the steel.
RESULT: The skin and hand under the Styrofoam suffer no harm.
