An expansion joint system includes a cover plate; a spline attached to the cover plate; and a core having a fire retardant material included therein in an amount effective to pass testing mandated by UL 2079. The spline depends from the cover plate and is configured to be positioned in a gap between substrates such that the cover plate overlies the gap. The core is compressible between a first face of the spline and one of the substrates and is compressible between a second face of the spline and the other of the substrates, and the expansion joint system is configured to facilitate compression of the core when installed between the substrates by repeatedly expanding and contracting to accommodate movement of the substrates; and the core with the fire retardant material included therein is configured to pass the testing mandated by UL 2079.

A fiber reinforced insulation product may include a first layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite and a second layer of fiber reinforced aerogel composite. The first layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a first binder that may form a first binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the first layer together. The second layer may include entangled fibers, aerogel particles dispersed within the entangled fibers, and a second binder that may form a second binding framework that bonds the entangled fibers and the aerogel particles of the second layer together. The fiber reinforced insulation product may further include a third binder that may form a third binding framework that bonds the first layer and the second layer together. The third binder may be dispersed throughout the first layer and the second layer.
