Promat Durasteel

Durasteel is a composite board  with a fibre reinforced cement core and outer facings of 0.5mm perforated, galvanised steel, mechanically bonded to each surface of the core. Other steel finishes such as stainless steel are also available for use where greater resistance to corrosion is required.

Durasteel combines lightness, strength, impact resistance and durability with exceptional fire resistance.

Systems incorporating Durasteel are resistant to firefighter hoses leaving the board capable of performing its function should fire services withdraw before a fire is extinguished.

Durasteel systems have been used successfully for many years, including rail and metro projects, military facilities and in commercial, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants.
