WHAT IS PROTECTA FR COLLAR

Protecta FR Collars are designed to maintain the fire resistance of fire-rated walls and floors where these are breached by service penetrations. The FR Collars can be used in drywalls, timber, masonry or concrete walls and floors. Each collar is ingeniously designed, featuring a white or red-coated circular steel shell that easily splits in two. With a simple 'slide-lock' mechanism, it fits snugly around service penetrations.

Inside the steel shell lies a fast reacting graphite-based reactive material. This revolutionary substance springs into action when exposed to the intense heat of a fire, instantly reacting to close any openings that might be left by the softening combustible materials. This innovation ensures that your fire-rated structures maintain their integrity, even in the face of a blaze.

Embracing Advancements: The New and Exciting Features

The Protecta FR Collar has undergone a series of remarkable upgrades that take its performance to the next level. Here are some of the exciting enhancements you can expect:
