Section Factor (Hp/A)

The degree of fire protection provided depends on the Hp/A Section Following is an example of a calculation for a steel beam section of

The higher the Hp/A, the faster the steel section heats up and so the

Following is an example of calculation for a universal beam section using box protection of 305mm x 305mm x 240kg/m serial size to be
encased on three or four sides when A = 305.6cm2, B = 317.9mm, D = 352.6mm, t = 23mm.
Four sided box protection: Hp = 2B + 2D Three sided box protection: Hp = B + 2D

= (2 x 317.9) + (2 x 352.6) = 317.9 + (2 x 352.6)
= 1341mm (1.341m) = 1023.1mm (1.023m)
Hp/A = 1.341 ÷ 0.03056 Hp/A = 1.023 ÷ 0.03056

PROMATECT®-H Structural Steel Column & Beam Cladding 01.12/02.12
Architectural Specification PH 01.18/02.18
The following is a standard Architectural Specification for structural steel column and beam protection using PROMATECT®-H. Please note
that PROMATECT®-H can be installed by being fixed to a steel frame or, for board thicknesses > 25mm, being fixed with the board face to the
board edge. The end user must determine the suitability of any particular design to meet the performance requirements of any application before
undertaking any work. If in doubt, please first obtain the advice from a suitably qualified engineer.
The installation methods described herein are suitable for steel sections up to 686mm deep and 325mm wide. For larger section or when
protecting multiple sections within a single encasement, please consult Promat.
Where a column box encasement abuts a beam protected with a profiled fire protection system, e.g. intumescent paint, the column webs should
be sealed at their tops using PROMATECT®-H.
Fire Exposure & Area of Application
Exposed faces of steelwork internal to building, for up to 180 minute fire resistance in accordance with the requirements of BS 476: Part 21: 1987,

Note that defining timber simply as a hard or softwood is inadequate when attempting to discern its charring rate. Different species of wood will
behave differently under fire conditions, not only in their rate of charring but also in their behaviour to bow and twist severely

The following is a standard Architectural Specification for structural steel column and beam protection using CAFCO® 300, Cafco FENDOLITE®
MII or Cafco MANDOLITE® CP2(1). Please note that CAFCO® 300, Cafco FENDOLITE® MII or Cafco MANDOLITE® CP2(1) should be installed by
a trained or approved applicator using appropriate and recommended equipment. The end user must determine the suitability of any particular
design to meet the performance requirements of any application before undertaking any work. If in doubt, please first obtain advice from Promat.
The installation methods described herein are suitable for steel sections up to 686mm deep and 325mm wide. For larger section, please consult
Promat.

manufacturers of Promat International (Asia Pacific) Ltd.
Surface Preparation
The substrate to be coated should be clean, dry and free from dust, or any other condition preventing good adhesion.
Method of Application
Pre mix CAFCO® 300, Cafco FENDOLITE® MII or Cafco MANDOLITE® CP2(1) with water in suitable type of mixer and apply onto the surface of
substrate by direct spraying. Material-water mixing ratio should be applied strictly in accordance with Promat’s recommendations by a trained
and approved applicator.
The application of CAFCO® 300, Cafco FENDOLITE® MII or Cafco MANDOLITE® CP2(1) is recommended by using a suitable spray head with
adequate capacity of air compressor.
Follow-on Trades
Surface of coating materials to be finished off smoothly or with suitable top coat(7) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE:
• (1), (2), (3), (6), (7) delete as appropriate.
• (4) insert location, e.g. “sphere vessels to structural steel exterior”, “beams and columns to offices interior”, or provide steelwork drawing
reference.
• (5) insert required fire resistance level (not exceeding 240 minutes for BS, AS or UL and not exceeding 180 minutes for ASTM).

Architectural Specification 02.12
The following is a standard Architectural Specification for structural steel column and beam protection using Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3. Please
note that Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3 should be installed by a trained or approved applicator using appropriate and recommended equipment. The
end user must determine the suitability of any particular design to meet the performance requirements of any application before undertaking any
work. If in doubt, please first obtain advice from Promat.
The installation methods described herein are suitable for steel sections up to 686mm deep and 325mm wide. For larger section, please consult
Promat.
Exposed faces of steelwork internal to building, for up to 120 minute fire resistance in accordance with the requirements of BS 476: Part 21: 1987
or AS 1530: Part 4: 2005.(1)
Standort
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________(2)
____________ minute(3) fire resistance to Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3 one sided, two sided, three sided or four sided coating of structural steel
columns and beams.
Spray Materials
Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3 in 25kg pail containers as supplied by licensed manufacturers of Promat International (Asia Pacific) Ltd.
Surface Preparation
The substrate to be coated should be clean, dry and free from dust, or any other condition preventing good adhesion. When applied over a
primer, please consult Promat for compatibility.
The substrate to be coated should be clean, dry and free from dust, or any other condition preventing good adhesion, as such priming is highly
recommended. Please consult Promat and refer to application documents for the approved range of primers and top seals.
Method of Application
Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3 is supplied ready for use in sealed containers and generally does not need to be diluted. The material should be
thoroughly stirred with a rotar type mixer prior to application.
The application of Cafco SPRAYFILM® WB3 is recommended by using an airless spray pump.
Follow-on Trades
Surface of coating materials to be finished off smoothly or with suitable top coat(4) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE:
• (3) insert required fire resistance level (not exceeding 120 minutes).
