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.”
