What are fireproof clothing made of?

Fireproof clothing is typically made of materials such as aramid fibers (such as Nomex or Kevlar), flame-resistant cotton, or a blend of synthetic fibers. These materials are treated with flame-retardant chemicals to provide protection against heat and flames. They are designed to resist ignition, prevent the spread of flames, and provide insulation against high temperatures.

What material makes a safe fireproof?

It is not necessarily the material that makes a fireproof safe fireproof. Today's fireproof safes are made from steel alloys and synthetic compounds. Older fireproof safes were even made from clay and mineral coatings that were found to be of a higher heat resistance. What really makes a fireproof safe is more in the way that it is made and less of what it is made out of. Science has found and made fireproof compounds but these are extremely to expensive to put into everyday safes.
