Progressive Materials were proud to play a role in delivering the passive fire protection systems that protect this iconic building. ECU City. With structural steel protection at the core of the fire strategy, the project demanded high-performance solutions across the full building envelope.
The project demanded a multi-layered approach to fire safety, with structural steel protection at the core of the fire strategy across the full building envelope. The primary product specified for structural steel protection was Cafco® 300, the most cost effective vermiculite based spray available. Cafco® 300 is a factory-blended, cementitious spray-applied material that provides reliable fire resistance in a single application, with excellent adhesion to steel substrates and low density for fast, efficient coverage at scale.
Where additional performance was required, Promatect® 250 boards were used to protect more complex or exposed steel elements. Promatect® 250 is a high-density, calcium silicate-based board offering robust fire resistance, impact resistance, and a clean finish, well suited to areas where aesthetics or mechanical durability are a consideration alongside fire performance.
Also deployed across the site were a range of Promat fire stopping products and fire collar systems, providing compliant solutions for service penetrations and construction joints throughout the building. The high quality installation work was carried out by Property Fire Maintenance (PFM).
