SPECIALIZATION- Steel construction fire protection

     Our specialization of a few years’ is a fire and corrosion protection of steel constructions in building industry.

   Carbon steel is a very popular and willingly used construction material.
In contrast to the reinforced concrete, steel construction is getting hot very quickly and because of a decrease of the plasticity limit and springiness it is getting deformed. This process is started at temperature of 450-550° C.
This parameter is called steel critical temperature.
Just after the steel construction reaches this point it is getting deformed and damaged. This means the damage of the all supported construction and building collapse.

    To keep the stability and durability of the steel construction until the fire extinguish or building evacuation we need to perform fireproof protection of it. The goal is to achieve temperature insulation that in case of the open fire (temperature on the level of 800-1200°C) the steel construction is steel kept below the critical load-bearing capacity level for some time.
In accordance to the required period of time (at that period of time the construction is still stable) we may define different critical temperatures. If it is not unambiguously defined we usually assume:

- R15, R30 – 550°C
- R60 – 500°C
- R90, R120, R180, R240 – 450°C

We are ready to execute the following protection systems:


Spray system – VERMIPLASTER (PROTECCIÓN PASIVA 2000, S.L.).
The system is dedicated for fire protection class R30, R60, R90, R120 i R180.

    Vermiplaster it is a brand new system on the market of steel construction fireproof systems. Vermiplaster product is a low granulation, powdered mixture based on the calcium sulphurous.
Reduction of its weight is being achieved by the addition of self-expanding minerals. Its physical/chemical features are improved to achieve the optimal consistence during mixing, applying and hardening. It does not contain any toxic or dangerous chemicals. It produces a lot of water vapour while heated.

    Vermiplaster is applied mechanically, with a use of aggregate spraying machine which mixes it with water and pressurised air.
Vermiplaster can not be applied beyond critical temperatures (<5°C; >40° C) and must be protected against sunshine and strong wind while applied.
There is not recommended to use Vermiplaster on the open steel surfaces and in high humidity or condensate water conditions. It that case we recommend surface cleaning and surface protection against corrosion with a use of ground coating paint or waterproof paint.
In case of low level of humidity that is absorbed inside the building the system does not require any special treatment.

Vermiplaster is produced by PROTECCIÓN PASIVA 2000, S. L. in plant Dos Hermanas (Sewilla) Spain.
The production process is automated (automatic raw materials dosage system). It guarantees the stable characteristic of the final product.
The production process is continuously supervised in accordance with quality systems ISO9002 and ISO14001 (environment protection politics). The rules are approved by SGS and marked (010309/S.C. and 030070/MA).
