FSi Promat adds EPDs to key fire stopping products to support sustainability data

We have published new Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for two of our key products, underlining our ongoing commitment to sustainability, transparency and safety.

As a leading UK manufacturer of fire stopping, we have released these EPDs to provide customers with transparent, third-party verified data on the environmental impact of Pyrocoustic® Sealant and Stopseal® Coating.

Our EPDs are developed in line with ISO 14025 and EN150804+A2:2019 standards, ensuring the highest level of credibility and transparency.

Pyrocoustic® Sealant is designed to reinstate fire resistance in wall and floor construction in linear gap and service penetration seals. The environmental results of this product in the new EPD show a cradle-to-gate Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1.0 kgCO2-Eq./kg and a total embodied carbon score of (A1 – A5, and C): 1.3kgCO2-Eq./kg.

Stopseal® Coating is an ablative coating, used with the Stopseal® Batt System, to reinstate the fire resistance performance of wall constructions that have been penetrated by single or multiple services. The key environmental results from the EPD report show a cradle-to-gate Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 0.7kgCO2-Eq./kg.

These figures are essential to mapping the overall environmental impact of a building project. Both products demonstrate a low carbon footprint during manufacturing and a low embodied carbon score throughout their lifecycle.

Both flagship products are manufactured at our Measham facility, which has recently transitioned to 100% renewable electricity — another milestone in our wider sustainability strategy.

Emma Taylor, our Marketing Manager, said:

“The addition of the EPDs underlines our dedication to developing sustainable solutions that continue to meet high standards of safety and performance.The cradle-to-gate score is useful when selecting products as it provides a clear picture of its carbon footprint from the raw material right through to installation. This information helps users to understand and compare the environmental impact of the products they use, and to make an informed choice.Providing transparent environmental credentials, as a result of third-party evaluation, is one of the key ways in which we support architects, specifiers, and contractors towards a safer, more sustainable future. This commitment aligns with the broader construction industry's shift towards more sustainable building methods.”
