This month, FSi Promat is launching a reformulated PyroPro HPE fire stopping sealant designed to support healthier working practices in the construction industry. As part of a company-wide initiative to reduce chemicals that could pose a risk to health, the company has modified the formula of its PyroPro HPE fire stopping sealant to help protect contractors and installers. Critically, the fire performance of the sealant has been maintained such that the new formula can be used in the same applications as before. A key product in the FSi Promat range of fire stopping solutions, PyroPro HPE is a high-performance sealant that’s used to reinstate fire resistance for service penetrations. It’s approved for application around CPVC pipes (as typically witnessed in relation to sprinkler systems), plastic pipes, cables and non-combustible insulated pipes.
