Explain: Heat Resistant vs. Heat Reflective vs. Heat Barrier material. Please.

I have bought this and was told it is not right product for the project.

Just want to wrap some money for long-term storage.

Seems like Ben @Neb and a few others might be able to offer some insight. Do you have a potential idea or project in mind?

From the OP; “Just want to wrap some money for long-term storage.”

I am certainly no Joe Pro, but to me…



Heat resistant: Can withstand some heat before it catches fire. Behind it can get hot and catch fire also.

Heat reflective: Will reflect any heat back towards where it came. Product may or may not get hot, but behind it should stay cool

Heat Barrier: Product may or may not get hot, but behind it will not get hot. It ill not transmit heat to the other side.

Are you casting the container out of asbestos cement? 8" of this ought to protect it for several hours in an average fire, I'm not sure about anything above 2500 degrees.

I’m following because I need something to keep the sun from cooking my blue bird babies in the nest box. Any ideas?

good 1 room cooler

Thermodynamics is rhe area of physics that Einstein predicted will pass the test of time.

The zeroeth law basically says that any time two things are in contact they will eventually assume the same temperature.

So wrapping paper money in anything will not prevent it from heating up to the surrounding temperature eventually.

Wrapping the money with an insulator can slow down how long it takes for the heat energy to raise the temperature of the money. A vacuum bottle (thermos) is a very effective insulator because heat energy can only be radiated since there is nothing to conduct or convect the heat energy. The tiles used on the space shuttle are good because they are mostly air.

So...

Stuff the money in a thermos and add oxygen absorbers. Even if the money heats up there is no oxygen for it to burn.

Alternatively it is possible to boil water in a paper cup...

That suggestion was already discounted in the other thread. But it is a good, practical and inexpensive suggestion nevertheless.

It depends on how long and how high the heat is present.

The other potential problem would be getting more than a few thousand dollars in a vacuum bottle.

Costco probably sells them in a six-pack.

Costco probably sells them in a six-pack.

Oh yes!

And then sink them in a stream secured with a metal cable to the river bank.

As long as the stream flows the temp will be 212 degrees F well below 451 needed to burn paper.

I like it!
