PROMATECT®-XW is an A1 non‑combustible board which provides up to 60 minutes fire protection to structural steel PROMATECT®-XW has permanent dimensional stability, so in the event of a fire it reduces the speed at which the steelwork will heat up, allowing it to maintain its load bearing capacity for longer. UP TO 60 MINUTES FIRE PROTECTION PROMAT.COM PROMATECT®-XW is manufactured at our Etex manufacturing plant in Germany. The plant works to ISO 9001 and ISO14001 standards.

- Universal columns and beams (I or H sections) and joists - Beams supporting composite floors with profiled metal decking - Structural hollow sections - Partially exposed members - Perimeter beams - Lattice beams - Wind posts - Bracing PROMATECT®-XW is a high performance, water repellent, fire protection board with superior weather protection. Benefits • Dimensionally stable • Quick, easy to cut and install saving time and reducing installed cost • Frameless system minimises space • Single board thickness for ease of ordering and stocking • No requirement for adhesive or joint fillers •...

Product Overview PROMATECT®-XW is typically used: • In any project where there is a requirement for up to 60 minutes fire protection • In the early construction phase when the building is not weathertight • Where space is limited, and speed of installation is important.

Design Benefits Fully tested and certified Since the Grenfell tragedy, the performance of building materials is under an unprecedented spotlight. Promat is driven by an uncompromising attitude to fire protection. Specifiers can be confident of the performance of PROMATECT®-XW due to it being fully tested and fit for purpose. PROMATECT®-XW is: • Manufactured by the Etex Group under ISO9001 and ISO14001 conditions and is thus fully traceable • Independently tested and assessed by Warringtonfire (WF431935) • Also tested as part of a whole system to assess its interaction with other building...

Design Benefits

Design Benefits Performance PROMATECT®-XW provides a clean, impact resistant finish and is used where the fire protection system is in full view and where it is hidden. It offers the specifier a clean, boxed appearance and can be applied on unpainted steelwork. It is often a thinner solution in comparison with other fire‑resistant constructions. It can also accept a decorative finish and therefore be used where aesthetics are important. FIRE RESISTANT MOISTURE RESISTANT Can be installed before the building is weather tight. MOULD RESISTANT Resistant to the effects of moisture....

Specifying PROMATECT®-XW PROMATECT®-XW provides up to 60 minutes fire resistance and is supplied in 15mm thickness for ease of specification and stocking. SPECIFICATION IS BASED ON 3 FACTORS 1 THE SECTION FACTOR OF THE STEEL (A/V)* THE LIMITING TEMPERATURE FOR THE STEEL WHETHER THE STEEL SECTION IS A BEAM OR A COLUMN As advised by the structural engineer or structural steel manufacturer. PROMATECT®-XW IS FULLY TESTED AT LIMITING TEMPERATURES FROM 300ºC TO 650°C. PLEASE SEE PROMAT WEBSITE FOR MOR

PROMATECT® -XW (15mm)PROMATECT® -XW (15mm) Fire Resistance Period 30 (mins) 60 (mins) Fire Resistance Period 30 (mins) 60 (mins) The section factor of the steel is based on the size of the steel and the number of sides exposed to the fire. The A/V ratios for steel sizes can be manually calculated or are shown in Chapter 3 of the Promat Passive Fire Protection Handbook (or the ASFP Yellow Book).

Step by Step Guide Fire protection for column encasements (showing 4-sided encasement) 1 EASURE FOR FLANGE PANEL M Measure the flange of the structural steel column plus 3-4mm. Mark up PROMATECT®-XW board to fit flange plus 3-4mm. Cut boards using a hand saw with hardened teeth or a power circular saw in conjunction with tungsten carbide tipped blades, or a jigsaw. All cutting should be carried out in well ventilated spaces, using dust extractors. Operators should wear protective face masks. P lease see product safety data sheet for further guidance. OLUMN TO BEAM JUNCTION C Mark up, cut...

I MEASURE FOR WEB PANEL Measure the web of the structural steel column plus the thickness of the two PROMATECT®-XW flange panels (+30mm). Note: Stagger joints on adjacent faces by at least 500mm. Q MARK UP WEB PANEL Mark up and cut PROMATECT®-XW board to the dimensions in step 5. (measure twice, cut once!) I FIXING WEB PANEL TO FLANGE PANEL Clamp board around steel to ensure tight fit. Fix web panels to flange panels using staples. Staple details Material: Galvanised steel
