Expert Area

Promat successfully tested one of the highest compartmentation walls in the world, built with PROMATECT®-100X boards. Our fire protection board was used to build a giant wall in one of the highest furnaces available in Europe.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the residual properties of reinforced concrete in tunnels after HCM (Majorated Hydro Carbon) and ISO type fire incidents lasting 120 minutes, where the concrete has been either protected by protective boards or by addition of polypropylene fibres.

To face our world’s critical needs for sustainable and qualitative living spaces, global building material manufacturer and pioneer in lightweight construction Etex further pledges to be an agent of change in the sustainable building sector. Next to its intrinsically sustainable portfolio, Etex is doing more by setting clear ambitions for the next eight years across five priority areas: health, safety and well-being; decarbonisation; circularity; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and customer engagement.

As part of the Etex Group, Promat is investing more and more in sustainable technologies to reduce our impact on the environment and the climate. One such investment was the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Promat factory in Filago, Italy in the spring of this year. The panels cover a total area of about 3,170 m² and will produce up to 818,856 kWh of solar energy per year.

Promat offers extensive experience and a wide range of insulation and fire protection products that can be adapted to meet the needs of the battery market. The company devotes significant resources to understanding the risks associated with the batteries so that, in partnership with industry, it can find solutions to support the growing battery market.

The PLURATECT MARINE range of Synthetic Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate boards for #marine applications is continuing to grow. After having launched the Pluratect Marine Light boards last year, Promat is now offering a more water repellent board: Pluratect Marine Plus.

Promat, expert in passive fire protection, and Proinsener, a Spanish company specialised in the integration of containerised energy solutions, are working together to develop containers equipped with passive fire protection for battery-based energy storage systems.

Wings of the Ocean – the non-profit association that owns the Kraken – has recently taken delivery of over 70 PLURATECT® MARINE LIGHT bonded boards as part of a major refit of their 42 meter vessel. “It’s a really big contribution”, says Julie Baudillon, the Executive Director of Wings of the Ocean. “Commercial donations are very important for us, as we’re a small NGO and without these donations we wouldn’t be able to operate.”

The structural integrity and resilience of tunnel linings are enhanced with passive fire protection systems, using boards or spray mortar.

A firestopping solution is a system designed to contain the spread of fire in a building. Read about 8 mistakes to avoid when implementing such a passive fire protection solution.

The Sydney Metro have chosen Over Track Exhaust Ducts as opposed to concrete structures.

In 2016 the Tunnel team started to support colleagues in Poland during initial talks to supply PROMATECT® boards for a new tunnel South of Poland - Rabka Zdroj – situated 60km from Krakow - a part of S7 Expressway in direction to Zakopane (Polish biggest mountain resort town).

We are proud to collaborate in the realization of the construction of the Łagiewnicka Route, part of the Kraków inner southern bypass.

As more people gain access to electric vehicles, charging power stations can become a major security risk. How to protect electric charging areas from fires?

Fire following earthquake is a common occurrence. Learn how to protect lives, buildings, and streets from ruin via fire in earthquake with fire boards.

Find out how fire safety in construction depends on the type of materials used, their fire classes based on testing and their contribution to so-called fire load.

When determining the contribution that a passive fire protection system provides to the fire resistance of a steel structure, standardised test methods are used. In those tests, the focus is primarily on beams and columns.
