FireMaster Structural Steel Fire Protection

Cellulosic and hydrocarbon fire insulation to steel beams and columns and jet fire protection for tubular sections

Our FireMaster® Blanket solutions and systems provide fire insulation to steel beams and columns to maintain load-bearing capacity in a fire, thus preventing collapse of the structure they support.

Traditionally, fire insulation is required to ensure the steel temperature does not exceed 550°C, the point at which steel retains 60% of its room temperature structural strength.

However, different maximum temperatures are often specified, considering the temperature profile and load on the sections. Critical temperatures ranging between 400°C and 620°C are common, with 400°C widely used in the offshore industry.

  • Tested to EN 13381-4 standard in both cellulosic and hydrocarbon fire exposure
  • Fast and simple to install using welded pins. No complicated fixing or preparation work required
  • Ideal for complex shapes, the blanket is flexible, wrapping around the steel profile
  • Low waste due to minimal cutting required to fit around complex structures as well as low weight contribution
  • CE mark for cellulosic system
  • Type approval from Lloyds Register for Hydrocarbon system
