Promat to launch innovative acoustic and fire protection materials at SMM Hamburg
18/08/2010
Specialist marine materials manufacturer Promat, are set to launch Promat PROMAGUARD® and Promat PROMASOUND® TL, an innovative new range of fire protection and acoustic materials at this year’s SMM 2010 exhibition, held in Hamburg between 7th and 10th September.
Promat's existing portfolio for marine applications include the market leading Promat PROMARINE® range of lightweight, non-combustible fire protection panels used to provide decorative fire resistant bulkheads, deckheads and floors in accommodation areas on all types of sea-going vessels and offshore platforms.
The importance of fire protection in marine vessels has been highlighted by two recent fires during June which resulted in the destruction of the 46.7m Madiblue D and the 31.8m La Diva Superyachts. Thankfully no one was injured in either fire.
Promat PROMAGUARD® is a microporous thermal insulation board, formed as a slab in a skin of glass cloth which provides thermal and mechanical properties. Designed to meet SOLAS, IMO and MCA standards for passive fire protection, Promat PROMAGUARD® provides an excellent solution for insulation and fire protection systems in bulkheads and deckheads which require extreme light weight and thin insulation.
Promat PROMASOUND® TL is the latest generation of innovative visco-elastic products and provides high levels on acoustic performance with low spread of flame performance. Acoustically, Promat PROMASOUND® TL represents the first valuable insulating barrier able to replace lead foils and PVC. It is a safe, harmless material and is easy to install.
