Abstract: A heat absorbing body made from a mixture of water, Portland cement, cellulose fibers, and a foaming agent, with or without other ingredients such as water glass and sodium sulfate. Polypropylene fibers may be used in place of part or all of the cellulose fibers. Cellulose fibers (conveniently reclaimed or recycled cellulose fibers) are preferably used because of their ability to absorb and retain relatively large amounts of water in the composition. Various formulas are given for the mixture. The material is used as a filling for the walls of fire resistant safes and storage boxes, and also for the construction of structural panels for furniture and building construction, and for cast-in-place walls and floors and roofs of buildings.

Abstract: A door-like closure for passageways in high-risk high-security installations includes a multilayer protective plate which has a rather high resistance to mechanical, thermal and chemical damaging influences, but which can be rather easily damaged by the action of explosives. To reinforce the protective plate, a reinforcing grid is juxtaposed therewith at the major surface thereof which faces the interior of the installation so that, when an attempt is made to destroy the protective plate by explosives, the reinforcing grid not only will increase the resistance of the protective plate to damage but also will permit the explosive shockwave and the possible debris of the protective plate propelled thereby to penetrate through the apertures of the grid without causing any considerable damage to the grid. The apertures of the grid have such dimensions that an intruder will not be able to reach through the aperture into the interior of the installation to, for instance, manipulate the lock of the closure.
