I would like to get some suggestions on a material for a container for transport. I am no materials engineer, so some input would be greatly appreciated. The material doesn't necessarily have to be a metal, it could be a composite, plastic, polymer or other. The main spec is that it has to withstand a fire penetration test of 1,700°F for 5 minutes. I am looking for a good insulator that would keep the contents cool as well. Any suggestions?

Often fire resistant containers are made with a metal core and a thermoset resin case. There are resins that have been designed to char and thereby insulate the contents.
There are standard fire resistant desings out there.
