What is Passive Fire Protection (PFP)?

PFP passive fire protection is not designed to extinguish flames directly, but to prevent the spread of fire by compartmentalizing risk areas and reinforcing them with fire-resistant materials.

Through solutions like fire-rated walls, structural insulation, and sealed penetrations, PFP systems work silently to contain fire and limit its impact on critical infrastructure.Although they operate in the background, PFP systems are essential in maintaining the structural integrity of industrial facilities.

Unlike active fire protection methods, which require manual or mechanical activation, passive fire protection is always in place—providing continuous safety and reducing the chance of system failure during emergencies.For facility managers in industrial environments, especially in sectors handling critical equipment like valves and actuators, choosing a comprehensive pfp fire protection strategy is key to long-term operational safety and regulatory compliance.

ProSol™ PFP vs. Coating Systems

ProSol™ PFP jacket system chemical resistance is completely unaffected by most chemicals that they are likely to come in contact with during their service life.

- Kerosene

- Diesel Fuel

- Acids (General)

- Jet Fuels

Coating Systems cannot be field applied or removed and can create serious corrosion problems leading to stress cracking and possible premature equipment failures. These problems can undermine the integrity of the fire proofing and cause damage to your equipment.

ProSol™: A Smarter, Safer Solution

Our custom insulation jackets offer a superior approach to PFP passive fire protection. The ProSol™ PFP system is engineered for flexibility, performance, and reusability. Unlike fixed systems, ProSol™ installs directly onto your equipment—no external brackets or mounts required. Its modular, lightweight construction conforms precisely to your components while maintaining full access and visibility for inspections and maintenance.

Designed to perform under the most extreme conditions, ProSol™ PFP passive fire protection provides robust, code-compliant fire protection without compromising operational uptime. Its removable and reusable design allows teams to access equipment quickly and reinstall the system with ease, minimizing interruptions and maximizing efficiency over the long term.

Not all fireproofing solutions are built for long-term performance or operational flexibility. Traditional methods like molded-on coatings often come with serious limitations like permanent fixings, difficult design for inspections, and impossible to service without damaging the system. Over time, these coatings can trap moisture, accelerating corrosion under the insulation, and leading to premature cracking or equipment failure. This compromises both safety and the reliability of your PFP Passive Fire Protection infrastructure.

Box-type enclosures present another set of challenges. Their rigid, bulky design can make field access complicated and time-consuming, often requiring full equipment shutdowns and labor-intensive disassembly. Each access event typically involves seal replacements, increasing maintenance costs and creating additional downtime. In corrosive or high-moisture environments, these rigid systems may also fail to adequately protect underlying insulation.


Frequently Asked Questions About Our PFP Fire Protection Jackets
What level of PFP passive fire protection does ProSol™ provide?
ProSol™ meets the UL1709 standard for PFP passive fire protection, shielding critical control equipment from hydrocarbon fires up to 2000°F (1103°C) for at least 30 minutes. As part of our line of custom insulation jackets, it ensures certified, field-proven protection in high-risk environments.
What information is needed to ensure a proper ProSol™ PFP Jackets fit?
Typically, we only need the actuator model number and a brief description of any connected accessories. For greater precision, you can also send us a 3D DWG file of the full actuator assembly. Alternatively, we offer a quick-fit survey form to streamline the specification process for your custom insulation jackets.
How does PFP Passive Fire Protection Jackets work?
The principle behind PFP is to provide mitigative measures that contain the fire at its source, preventing it from spreading across facilities. By dividing a structure into sealed, fire-resistant compartments, the fire is starved of additional fuel and is more likely to self-extinguish or be managed before escalating.This strategy is particularly critical in industrial operations where seconds matter—a well-designed passive fire protection system grants personnel additional time to evacuate safely and minimizes the impact on vital equipment and infrastructure.
How are control elements accessed when a ProSol™ PFP jackets is in place?
Each ProSol™ custom insulation jacket is custom-designed with integrated access panels or cutouts, allowing control features such as handwheels, declutch levers, push buttons, or gauges—to remain fully operable. This ensures safety and accessibility.
Why Choose Passive Fire Protection?
Reliable Protection: Operates without human input or moving parts.
Supports Emergency Response: Buys critical time for evacuation and firefighting.
Industrial Resilience: Protects mission-critical systems such as valves and actuators.
Regulatory Alignment: Helps meet safety and fire code standards.
Why is proper installation key to the performance of ProSol™ PFP Jackets?
The effectiveness of PFP passive fire protection jackets depends not only on product design but also on correct selection and installation. Our custom insulation jackets are engineered for precision and ease-of-use in demanding industrial environments. Proper installation ensures that the flame barrier remains continuous, reliable, and ready to perform in critical scenarios. Thanks to our modular design, ProSol™ jackets can be installed quickly and securely with minimal tools, reducing downtime and ensuring safety.
