Unprotected openings in fire compartments cancel out the fire resistance ratings of the fire rated structures, allowing the spread of fire, smoke and hot gasses. Promat’s range of fire stopping materials can seal penetrations, provide insulation to services and seal construction and expansion joints.
All of Promat’s fire stopping systems are tested to AS 1530: Part 4 and AS 4072 Part 1.
Progressive Materials stocks Promat’s fire stopping systems which are designed to maintain the fire-resistance rating of a wall and or floor. This is achieved by impeding the spread of fire by sealing the openings with fire rated products such as Promat’s range of fire pillows, fire batts, fire mortar, fire mastic’s, fire collars and joint sealing products.
The PROMASEAL® range of fire stopping systems are stored in our local warehouses, with the majority of fire stopping systems been made in Australia.

About Fire Penetrations
Correctly sealing fire penetrations is a challenge with the complexity of building services in today’s built environment.
Fire Penetrations Challenges
How to correctly seal service penetrations?
Everyday we see examples of both good and bad fire stopping work. The good work offers a compliant solution for the building, and the bad compromises the integrity and insulation requirements of fire rated walls and floors. Using a fire rated sealant is a good fire stopping solution in a lot of instances, but it needs to be specified and installed in line with the manufacturer’s tested systems. Installation instructions also provided by the manufacturer need to be closely followed to be compliant with the requirements of the Building Code Australia (BCA). We provide training on how to correctly treat a wide range of building services as they penetrate through fire walls and floors. There is a network of competent trained installers that can provide certification of the tested systems to ensure compliance to the Australian Standards.
