Product Selector Which system(s) to use As penetration can occur in various building elements, there are a number of important criteria that require consideration in determining the appropriate type of sealing system to be used, simplified in the following chart. Fire resistance period? Wall, floor, linear gap? Insulation requirement? Mechanical strength? Thermal expansion Considerations • Size of opening • Ambient conditions • Frequency of change to services • Penetration services • Design life • Parent const

Sealing movement joints at junctions for walls and floors. INTRODUCTION Promat PROMASEAL® Expansion Joint Strips are highly compressible, flexible, fire resistant seals which are used where movement joints are formed in the structure of a building. Promat PROMASEAL® Expansion Joint Strips consist of layers of intumescent material bonded to Class 0 foam and have been successfully fire tested and assessed to provide up to 240 minutes in joints in walls and floors. APPLICATIONS Promat PROMASEAL® Expansion Joint Strips are ideal for sealing movement joints at junctions between compartment walls and...

Promat PROMASEAL® Fire Compound INTRODUCTION Promat PROMASEAL® Fire Compound is a white powder, which is mixed with water to the required consistency for installation. When set, Promat PROMASEAL® Fire Compound becomes a hard material with a white matt finish. The actual surface finish of the set product is dependent upon treatment at the time of application. APPLICATIONS Promat PROMASEAL® Fire Compound is used to provide a fire seal around service penetrations in walls and floors. The formless nature of the fire compound prior to setting allows it to be introduced between services and so create...
