Description
PROMAT PROMATECT®-250 is a non-combustible mineral bound light weight board and provides a high degree of strength and dimensional stability and fire protection to structural steel and is suitable for areas where the relative humidity is up to 85%.
It is classified A1 non-combustible according to BS EN 13501-1.
Features and benefits:
- One-sided column protection up to 600 mm wide.
- Direct fix to column.
- PROMATECT®-250 comprises autoclaved calcium silicate spheres (PROMAXON® is a synthetic hydrated calcium silicate in spherical form) bound in a mineral matrix.
- Off-white in colour.

Third-party certification | As detailed in UL-EU Certificate No. UL-EU-01220a-CPR. Guidance for specification option: Note: Depending on site conditions, alternative fixing methods may be required for beams and columns, one- or two-sided exposure or interface with other building elements. These fixing methods are outside the scope of current EN test methods. These recommendations are based on the principles of EN 13381-4 and given in good faith. They should be approved by the responsible designer or through independent third party assessment. |
Installation | For one-sided column encasements boards are fixed directly to the to the steel. A nominal 3 mm gap must be left between the edge of the PROMAT PROMATECT®-250 board and the solid wall. This gap must be filled with FSi Promat Pyrocoustic® Fire Resistant Sealant. |
