Hide Away Safe Heat Test

The Hide Away Safe range of security safes are manufactured in our own special formulae of LEXAN®, a General Electric Trademarked 'impact modified Polycarbonate'. While our particular polycarbonate is extremely heat insulative it is not officially classified as fire proof.

There are no fire standards written for Polycarbonate Security Safes as we are the only manufacturer in the world to produce one, consequently there has been no specific fire rating given to our product. Nothing is exactly fire proof, our products are termed fire resistant and is very insulative.

Monitored Heat Test

A frequently asked question is "are the Hide Away Safes fire proof". To answer that question we recently did a monitored heat test by comparing the condition of an identical paper product placed inside:

1. Metal Safe
2. Hide Away Safe

In a pre heated kiln at 400c for 15 minutes.

The end result being, the internal temperatures of the metal safe reached 250c with the paper product inside starting to char (paper will start to ignite around 250c) compared with the Hide Away Safe's internal temperature at 150c with the paper product unaffected. The result showed:

Physical condition of safes:

• Metal Safe, relatively unaffected by test heat.
• Hide Away Safe, a little 'sad' looking - it needed replacing.

Physical condition of contents:

• Paper inside Metal Safe was basically destroyed by the heat.
• Paper inside Hide Away safe was unaffected.

The protection of the contents of a safe is the most crucial aspect of safe ownership.

The price to replace the Hide Away Safe is a small investment after the trauma of a fire.

WARNING from the editor. People tend to die in house fires when they spend time removing 'valuables and keepsakes' thinking the fire is not all that serious. It is the smoke not the flames that are usually the killer.

Following Is An Exert From Our Information Pack

It is important to note that LEXAN® Polycarbonate is a fire resistant material but it is not fire-proof. The Hide Away Safe was designed as an anti-theft device. The selection of the material was primarily with consideration for impact resistance and overall strength. The fire-resistant aspect of the Polycarbonate is a bonus to users but not a primary consideration in terms of design or application.

Please Note: Losses of personal property (which can be stored within the Hide Away Safe) in Australia regarding theft versus fire is in the order of 820 occasions to one. That means we average 1 fire claim to every 820 claims for theft.
