Fire protection
& insulation
Worldwide, our Promat brand sets a
benchmark for innovative solutions for
passive fire protection and high-performance
insulation.
Passive fire protection is mainly used for
applications in non-residential buildings
and constructions such as high-rises,
airports and tunnels. When a fire occurs,
high temperatures tear away a building’s
structural materials. Our fire protection
solutions safeguard a building’s critical
structures from extremely high temperatures.
That way, they enable the people inside to
escape to safety.
High-performance insulation solutions are
used when the need for insulation is high,
while the space to insulate is very small.
They can be found in numerous applications,
including fuel cells, solar energy systems,
chimneys and storage heaters. Every highperformance
insulation solution is designed
and engineered in-house and in close
collaboration with our customers.
