Application

Steelwork protection.

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 beam protection up to 600 mm deep.
  • Direct fix to recessed wall structure.
  • 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.
  • One face is smooth and ready to form a finished surface, able to receive almost any form of architectural/finish treatment.
  • The reverse face is sanded.

Manufacturer guidance

Etex Building Performance Limited warrants that our passive fire protection products and component parts, when installed in the building originally designed, built and unaltered in accordance with the conditions and procedures as detailed in UL-EU Certificate No. UL-EU-01220-CPR, this specification document and associated CAD drawings; and any specific technical recommendations made in relation to the above project, shall be durable and free from defects due to faulty manufacturing or factory workmanship.


The system must be installed by a 3rd party accredited fire protection contractor, and where included in the specification, solely with proprietary products and components as supplied by Etex Building Performance Limited.


The scope of this warranty will be dependent on the application and the environment in which the products are being installed.

Support

N/A.

Insulation

Low density (10–30 kg/m³) glass mineral wool.

Guidance for specification option:

If required for acoustic or thermal performance.

Not required.

Linings

Inner and outer layers: PROMATECT®-250 board thickness determined by section factor (A/V), fire resistance period and limiting steel temperature.
Maximum board length 1250 mm.

Guidance for specification option:

Minimum PROMAT PROMATECT®-250 thickness for compartmentation on both sides of steel (when one-sided fixing detail is applied to both sides of the steel): 60 minutes: 15 mm; 90 minutes: 20 mm; 120 minutes: 25 mm.

  • Where protection to the structural steel and compartmentation are required, thicker of the two boards should be used.

Manufacturer guidance

  • For double layer encasements joints between layers must be staggered by minimum 530 mm, no cover strips are required to inner layer.
  • Boards can be left untreated or painted; where decorative finish is required, see Colour/ finish below.
  • Board thicknesses over 25 mm are installed as a double layer, board joints between layers staggered by 530 mm minimum.
  • Where more than one layer of board is used in a casing, the thicker layer should be applied first.

Fasteners

Fixing to coverstrips: Chisel point staples minimum 35 x 12 x 1.6 mm (50 x 12 x 1.6 mm for board thicknesses over 15 mm).
Direct fix to concrete or blockwork: one-sided beam encasements can be installed by directly fixing the boards to the substrate (concrete/blockwork). M4 screws into metal plugs, non-combustible concrete anchors or concrete screws (by others).

Guidance for specification option:

  • Fixing to coverstrips: Maximum 150 mm centres. End staples are located nominally 40 mm from the corner of the board.
  • Direct fix to concrete or blockwork: Maximum 300 mm centres. Fixing length to provide minimum penetration of 30 mm into the substrate.

System accessories

FSi Promat Pyrocoustic® Fire Resistant Sealant.

Fire resistance

Guidance for specification option:

Fire resistance (minutes) to EN 13501-2. Insert requirements.

Colour/ Finish

Guidance for specification option:

Insert requirements.

Manufacturer guidance

Decorative finishes should be applied in accordance with Promat Technical Data Sheet TDS 056 (https://www.promat.com/en-gb/construction/documentation/).

Section factor

Maximum 350 m-1.

Steel sections

600 mm deep (maximum).

Strips

Coverstrips: Thickest encasement board layer x 100 mm wide PROMAT PROMATECT®-250 coverstrips fitted behind board joints and at the start and end of the beam.

Guidance for specification option:

Coverstrips are not required to the bottom flanges of beam encasements.

Third-party certification

As detailed in UL-EU Certificate No. UL-EU-01220a-CPR.

Guidance for specification option:

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

Encasement boards must overlap the structure either side of the steel by a minimum of 75 mm.
