Recognising the need for valuable fire prortection, coupled with the need for easy accessibility of records and office aesthetics, Godrej has designed its Fire Resisting Record Cabinet. It provides adequate storage space space to keep the bulkiest of ledgers, box files, unwidely bound reports and other vital documents safely and conveniently. All at a fraction of the cost of the loss that could occur due to burnt records.

The Godrej FRRC has sturdy double-walled body and door of multibend construction fabricated from prime quality steel. This body is reinforced at vital points to enable the cabinet to withstand a severe fall or impact of debris in case of a building collapse.

The Godrej FRRC has a highly efficient insulation of a special fire resisting compound poured in-situ between the two walls of the body and the door giving it a 75mm thick wrap-around protection against fire. This compound is solid and stable and does not deteriorate with age.

The door has a specially designed tongue-and-groove construction which creates a diversion in the passage of flames and hot gasses, preventing them from entering the cabinet. This construction, coupled with the efficient insulation provided by the fire resisting compound, gives the cabinet as much resistance to fire as a 610mm concrete wall. Hence, whilst the fire rages outside at a temperature of 1010° C ( 1850° F), the inner temperature remains below 177° C. Keeping the records safe and usable.

The Godrej FRRC has successfully withstood severe fire and impact tests. They include the 2-hour fire impact test and the 2-hour fire endurance test at the Central Buliding Research Institute, Roorkee, Uttar Pradesh-the only accredited institute of its kind in India for carrying out such tests.
The fire-impact test involoved heating the FRRC in a furnace to 1010° C, dropping it from a height of 4 meters and subsequently heating it again in an inverted position to 1010° C. After the test, the paper records inside the FRRC were found to be usable, demonstrating its superior fire impact resisting capabilities.
The fire endurance test involved heating the FRRC in a furnace at a standard time temperature curve for two hours while constantly monitoring the temperature inside. During this test, the inside temperature remained well below 177°C, the temperature at which paper begins to char.
