Passive fire protection specialists, Promat, have launched a new 60-minute fire protection board, PROMATECT-XW®, specifically designed for the protection of structural steel columns and beams.
PROMATECT-XW® can be used to cost-effectively safeguard steel columns and beams at limiting temperatures from 300ºC to 650°C, making it ideally suited for multi-residential, commercial, healthcare and educational projects.
Thanks to its resistance to water, weather and mould, PROMATECT-XW® can be left exposed on site for up to three months, meaning it can be installed early in the construction phase before the building is watertight.
At just 15mm thick, the frameless A1 non-combustible board is often thinner than other fire protection boards, saving valuable space across a development.
In line with Promat’s rigorous product development process, PROMATECT-XW® has been tested as part of a wider materials system to access the performance of the fire protection board in conjunction with other building components. The board has also been independently certified by Warringtonfire.
David Roulstone, Promat Product Manager commented on the launch: “As the Government brings forward new building safety regulations, project teams want peace of mind that the materials they specify and install will deliver the performance they need and expect. PROMATECT-XW® ticks all the boxes for projects with a 60-minute fire requirement. Fully accredited and independently certified, it’s cost-effective, easy and quick to install.”
