  1. Fire rated.

    It can be 1 hour fire rated.

    2 hours fire rated and so on...


  2. fire resistant?

    probably not what you are looking for.. but thats all I can find.

    pyrex is the glassware that can handle being exposed to fire.

    the properties that make pyrex fire resistant are its low density, high softening point, high strain point, high annealing point, low refractive index, and low coefficient of expansion. (low or high in comparison to "normal" [kimble flint in this case] glass)
