3M™ Interam™ Endothermic Mat

The devastating effects of a refinery fire can result in lost production and worker injuries. In the event of a fire, 3M™ Fire Protection Products are designed to help mitigate fire spread, providing additional time to control the fire and to allow for a safe evacuation.

With over 40 years of fire protection experience, 3M has developed tested and listed systems for the protection of critical electrical and structural components. 3M Fire Protection Products provide you practical and proven applications for exceptional refinery infrastructure protection, including outstanding performance in high-intensity hydrocarbon pool and jet fires with advanced fire protection for your most critical assets.

3M™ Interam™ Endothermic Mat E-5A-4 (3M E-Mat) provides easy-to-install, full envelope fire protection for a broad range of critical components including structural steel, electrical raceways and vessel skirts. Its flexibility and space-saving design allows 3M E-Mat to fulfill installation requirements, even in space-constrained situations.

As 3M flagship product for fire protection in refineries, this flexible mat provides a uniform covering that, when exposed to high temperatures, releases chemically bound water. This chemically bound water cools the outer wrap material, significantly retarding heat transfer and keeping the integrity of the structural steel or electrical raceways intact.
