The average temperature of fires can reach 600° to 800°C. In extreme cases, the temperature may rise to 1000°C.
Fire resistant products are made to ensure that the inside temperature of the safe or cabinet does not exceed the temperature at which paper or data will be damaged. At a temperature of 175°C paper can be damaged or even perish. The critical limit for magnetic data is about 50°C, however digital media such as CD’s/DVD’s/USB drives is higher, similar to paper. Data safes also provide protection against moisture, dust and soot particles. There are several fire resistant safes, cabinets and data boxes available, which provide perfect protection against fire and theft for your documents and data.
