Structural Steel Protection
Promat are the only manufacturer able to offer a full range of board and spray fire protection solutions to structural steel applications.
Promat VERMICULUX® is our leading board for structural steel applications and is able to provide up to 240 minutes of fire protection.
The Building Regulations require certain elements of structure to have fire resistance for aspecified minimum period of time. The amount of fire protection required to achieve thisdepends on the following:–
- Duration of fire resistance specified
- Type of protection used
- Perimeter of the steel section exposed to fire
- Shape and size of the steel section
To determine how these factors affect fire resistance, all Promat products and systems havebeen tested at accredited laboratories to a variety of standards, e.g. BS 476: Part 21: 1987,DIN 4102 and ASTM E119.
Tests in accordance with BS 476: Part 21: 1987 have been performed on loaded beams andcolumns clad with Promat fire protection materials. Steel temperatures are monitored with thermocouples to assess the performance of the fire protection, since steel fully stressed inaccordance with BS 449: Part 2: 1969 or BS 5950: Part 1: 2000 begins to lose its design margin of safety at temperatures around 550°C.
A range of unloaded sections has also been tested to obtain data for calculating exactly howmuch protection is needed for the most common steel sections and for providing fire resistance for different time periods.
These and other tests have also demonstrated the ability of the fire protection to remain inplace, commonly termed as the ‘stickability’ of the material, for the maximum duration for which protection may be required. The availability of thin boards and the low weight of Promat boards plus the possibility of pre-fabrication ensure maximum cost-efficiency.
