Did the National Gypsum Company make fireproof gypsum wall board with asbestos?
No, gypsum has a natural fire resistance due to the combined molecules of water which it contains. National Gypsum has never used asbestos in its wallboard products. However, it did at one time use asbestos in some of its sprayed-on fire proofing products. That ingredient was removed from their formulation several decades ago.

Could tile be installed over gypsum board?
That depends upon location. Tiles can be installed on a gypsum board wall or ceiling. (But make sure that the tiles are well grouted; if moisure gets past the tile into the gypsum board, it will be damaged.) Floors require greater strength - but then, you wouldn't normally have a gypsum board floor, with or without tile.
What materials are fireproof safe?
Some fabrics can be made fire proof or fire retardant, they are Kevlar, Technora, Wool, and M5 Fiber. Some other materials that are fire proof are; Perlite, Gypsum, Rock Wool and Treated lumber. The prices vary so much for all these items according to size and how much of the material you need.
Is it possible to build a fire proof building?
No. You can help fire proof a building. But there is always a chance it can catch on fire somehow. Fire sprinklers are only used to keep the fire under control so it doesn't spread...they are not used to put the fire entirely out. Firefighters are for that. Anything that you use to fire proof a building is only used to keep the fire under control until the Firefighters arrive. The closest you can get to a fireproof building is a brick one with a terracotta tile roof.

Floor tile are always thicker and the clay the tile is made from on the back of the tile will be dark. I'm sure that's right but can't back it up with proof.
What is type c gypsum board?
Type C gypsum board meets and exeeds the fire resistance requirements of a type x board. It has mineral additives in the gypsum core that expands when exposed to heat. This expansion holds the board together longer during fire exposure. It is referred to by the Gypsum Association as "Improved Type X" board.
Are goats fire proof?

Where is calcium sulfate found?
Calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is a naturally occurring calcium salt. It is commonly known in its dihydrate form, CaSO4∙2H2O, a white or colourless powder called gypsum. As uncalcined gypsum, the sulfate is employed as a soil corrector. Calcined gypsum is used in making tile, wallboard, lath, and various plasters.
What is fire code c drywall?
This boardis similar in composition to Type X drywall, except that it has more glass fibers, and, it has another ingredient in the gypsum core. This ingredient is a shrinkage-compensating additive, a form of vermiculite. When exposed to high heat, the gypsum core shrinks but the shrinkage-compensating element expands at about the same rate as shrinkage occurs in the waterdepleted gypsum. The gypsum core then is more stable in a fire and remains in place even after the combined water in the gypsum has been driven off.
