Intumescent paints - Efficient fire protection of steel
Intumescent coating or intumescent paint, is one of the easiest and most efficient means of protecting load bearing elements of buildings against fire as it delays their collapse by insulating the structural elements.
Fire resistance standards for testing of construction systems
A brief overview of the most important international fire resistance standards defining fire reaction in testing of construction systems.
International fire curves – useful tool for designing fire safety
Everything you need to know about the specifics of the different types of fire that could occur. Learn how you can use their realistic fire time-temperature curves to design fire safety in buildings.
How to protect the structure of your building
The load bearing structure of your building needs protection to avoid the collapse during fire. Promat has a solution for steel, concrete, timber and composite structures.
