Explanation

ทนไฟ is made from ทน “to withstand” and ไฟ “fire.” It usually follows the noun it describes, as in วัสดุทนไฟ “fire-resistant material” or ประตูทนไฟ “fire-rated door.” It is common in product, construction, safety, and industrial contexts.

Usage

Use it when describing the fire resistance of building materials, walls, doors, safes, cables, workwear, firefighting gear, or industrial safety products.

Caution

It does not always mean completely impossible to burn. For heat resistance in general, ทนความร้อน is often more precise; for non-flammable, ไม่ติดไฟ may be a better fit.
