In the competitive world of construction, efficiency and reliability are crucial. Comfortech, the exclusive distributor of Promat products, including Promatect XS, has a long-term commitment to supporting the passive fire industry. Promat’s latest building product, Promatect XS, is a board designed for the protection of structural steel beams and columns from fire and the building from collapse. It offers numerous benefits that streamline the installation process and ensure durability and performance. Let’s explore what makes Promatect XS an outstanding option for builders and contractors.

Dimensionally stable

Promatect XS is designed to be dimensionally stable, maintaining its shape and size across various environmental conditions. This reduces the risk of warping or shifting over time, essential for long-lasting construction.

Quick and easy installation

One of Promatect XS's key advantages is its quick and hassle-free installation. Contractors can easily cut the product to size using the score and snap technique. The boards are fastened board to board with N-series staples or screws without needing adhesives or joint fillers, simplifying the entire process. Its frameless system further enhances efficiency, minimising the space required during setup.

Space-saving design

The frameless design of Promatect XS not only saves space but also gives any project a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. This is particularly valuable when maximising every square metre is a priority.

Durable and resilient surface

Promatect XS features a smooth, impact-resistant surface that can withstand daily rigours. It’s also resistant to water, weather, and mould, ensuring reliable performance in various climates.

Flexible installation timeline

A significant benefit of Promatect XS is its installation flexibility. It can be applied before a completely weathertight building, allowing semi-exposed installation for up to six months. This adaptability helps keep projects on schedule. Or fully exposed for three months.

Fire protection compliance

Safety is paramount in construction, and Promatect XS meets stringent safety standards, being certified to AS 4100 and AS 1530.4:2014. This provides high levels of fire protection for structural steelwork, giving builders and property owners peace of mind.

Simplified installation process

The installation process with Promatect XS is straightforward. Utilising staples and wedge soldiers eliminates the need for steel angles or metallic clips, which not only speeds up installation but also enhances on-site safety due to the panels' lightweight nature.

Lightweight advantage

The low weight of Promatect XS improves the speed and safety of installation. Lighter materials ease the strain on workers and equipment, making the overall process more efficient.

Proven maintenance and repair solutions

Promatect XS has been rigorously tested and approved for maintenance and repairs under fire conditions, ensuring its reliability for long-term use.
