What is a fireproof filing cabinet?

A fireproof filing cabinet is a fire-resistant storage unit designed to protect paper documents, records, and media from heat and flame during a structure fire. They feature a double-wall steel construction with an insulating material between walls — typically a mixture of gypsum, concrete aggregate, or vermiculite — that absorbs heat and releases moisture as steam to keep the interior below the paper charring threshold (451°F).
