Hercule Safes utilizes specially formulated bubble concrete to provide best insulation against intense heat. With precise engineering, particular care is given to ensure that all joints and seams of the safes are flushed and secured. It is able to handle the task of safe guarding of essential documents and values in your home and office. The followings are the tests carried out to prove the durability of the safes :

Stage 1 : Heating Test

A Hercules Safe was exposed to over a 1000°C in an air-tight gas furnace for nearly 2 hours.

Stage 2 : Dropping Test

Immediately after the heating test, the red hot safe was lifted up and dropped from a height of 9.1 meters.

Stage 3 : Reheating Test

After the dropping test the safe was reheated in the furnance at the mean temperature 1090°C for anther 45 minutes.

Stage 4 : Test Objective

These tests simulated the most severe case of a house on fire which the situation of a safe falling through the floor and be subjected to another round of heat after impact of the fall.

Results :

These tests simulated the most severe case of a house on fire for the situation of a safe falling though the floor and be subjected to another round of heat after impact of the fall.

Besides the melting of some metal fittings on the external door, which had low melting points, the interior of the Safes remained intact. The internal temperature was at 130°C, well below the paper tolerance level of 177°C. In face, the colour of the paper did not even change!
