PROMATECT®-L500

General Description
PROMATECT®-L500 is a lightweight mineral matrix engineered board which is off-white/beige in colour and has a smooth sanded surface on one face with a lightly honeycombed texture on the reverse face.

PROMATECT®-L500 is resistant to the effects of moisture and will not physically deteriorate when used in damp or humid conditions. Performance characteristics are not degraded by age or moisture. Untreated surfaces will absorb water which can cause some loss of strength but strength is regained after drying. PROMATECT®-L500 does not encourage mould growth and is resistant to attack by vermin.

PROMATECT®-L500 is chemically inert and is resistant to dilute acids and alkalis. Boards should be protected where high chemical concentrations are likely to occur.

A health and safety data sheet is available from Promat and, as with any other materials, should be read before working with the board. The board is not classified as a dangerous substance so no special provisions are required regarding the transportation and the disposal of the product to landfill. They can be placed in on-site rubbish skips with other general building waste which should then be disposed by a registered contractor in the appropriate and approved manner.
