Metl-Span has a fire resistive insulated metal panel, ThermalSafe^®, which consists of metal facings bonded to a structural mineral wool core which resists high temperatures and will not burn. The mineral wool core is a natural product that contains no VOCs and CFCs that affect the ozone layer or add to global warming potential, yet the panels still achieve one, two and three hour fire resistive ratings.
