General Description
PROMATECT®-S is a composite board manufactured with a fibre reinforced cement core,
with outer facings of 0.5mm perforated galvanised steel mechanically bonded to each surface of the core. Other steel finishes such as stainless
steel are also available for use where greater resistance to corrosion is required.
PROMATECT®-S systems combine lightness, strength, impact resistance and durability
with exceptional fire resistance. These systems remain resistant to fire fighters’ hoses, leaving them capable of performing their original
function even in the aftermath of a fire.
PROMATECT®-S systems have been used successfully for many years, including rail and
metro projects, military developments and in commercial, pharmaceutical and petrochemical facilities.
A health and safety data sheet is available from the Promat Technical Department and, as with
any other materials, should be read before working with the board. The board is not classified
as a dangerous substance so no special provisions are required regarding the carriage and the
disposal of the product to landfill. They can be placed in an on-site skip with other general
building waste which should then be disposed by a registered contractor.
