Fire Stopping

The fundamental premise of modern fire protection is based on the principles of compartmentation. Every building is designed into several fireproof compartments, to prevent or slow the spread of fire and smoke from one compartment to another. Essential building services — water pipes and electrical cables, for example - penetrate compartment walls and ceilings. These openings have the potential to seriously compromise the integrity of the fire compartment, unless special and proven fire stopping systems are employed. Promat fire stopping systems restore the fire compartment to its original levels of fire performance.

For initial compartment design, Promat fire stopping complement the system by protecting linear (construction or movement) joints and/or sealing gap/openings due to constructability or site condition.

Promat provides a number of integrated and effective fire stopping solutions, and these include the successful and easy to install PROMASTOP^® and PROMASEAL^® systems:
