Promat DURASTEEL® High Performance Systems what is Promat durasteel®? Promat DURASTEEL® is a composite panel of fibre reinforced cement mechanically bonded to punched steel sheets on both outer surfaces. It is classed as ‘noncombustible’ to BS 476: Part 4: 1970 and A1 to Clause 10 of BS EN 13501-1:2002. Promat DURASTEEL® is both highly impact and moisture resistant. Promat DURASTEEL® has been developed and supported through rigorous testing for use in barriers, door and ceiling applications, with a wide range of specifications available. Promat DURASTEEL® systems combine lightness,...

Promat DURASTEEL® High Performance Systems low radiation fire wall Low radiation fire wall for constructions that require a high degree of stability, integrity and insulation as measured upon the unexposed surface of the wall is not critical, but where heat radiation from exposed to unexposed face could be of importance. Promat DURASTEEL® low heat radiation walls offer a lightweight construction, which is very narrow across its thickness. Used in conjunction with the Promat DURASTEEL® pallet racking fire barrier system, this wall offers increased warehousing space and allows for racking to...

Promat DURASTEEL® High Performance Systems PROTECTED ZONES, SPANDREL PANELS, SMOKE SCREENS Smoke kills more people in fires than heat, flames or structural collapse. It is therefore recognised that occupant safety in a fire can be greatly improved by providing an efficient smoke extraction system. Part of an engineered smoke control system may involve the provision of smoke reservoirs, the use of smoke channelling screens and smoke curtains. Testing standards for smoke control equipment smoke curtains and screens shall meet the requirements of BS 7346: Part 3: 1990, which requires the...

Promat DURASTEEL® High Performance Systems INSULATED FIRE wALL Fire walls are used in constructions where high insulation as well as stability is required during a fire. Promat DURASTEEL® insulated fire walls are designed to prevent the passage of heat from a fully developed fire on the exposed face. The maximum permitted temperature rise allowable on the surface of the unexposed face is 140°C as a mean temperature over all the surface, or a maximum temperature rise of 180°C at any one point over all the surface. Insulated wall constructions should be used in areas where the following may...
