Passive Fire plays a critical role in protecting buildings. It is done by containing fire and smoke at their point of origin. At GreenTech, we provide certified fire-rated walls, doors, sealants, fire coating, and smoke barriers.
By strengthening a building’s ability to resist fire spread, passive fire protection ensures safer evacuation routes and minimizes structural damage.
GreenTech follows international safety standards to deliver long-lasting, compliant solutions. This enhances overall fire resilience for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Pakistan.

TogglePassive Fire Protection (PFP) includes built-in systems designed to contain fire and smoke without manual activation. Unlike sprinklers or alarms, PFP systems work continuously and automatically.

Engineered to resist fire for 1–3 hours, these walls prevent flames and smoke from moving through building compartments.
Certified wooden and steel doors designed to slow down fire spread and maximize evacuation time.
Seal small openings and MEP penetrations—one of the most essential passive fire protection system examples.
Used to isolate rooms, floors, and escape routes from smoke and heat.
Fire collars, wraps, strips, and boards for all kinds of penetrations.
Materials that expand under heat to instantly seal gaps.
Fast installation, high-performance partitions with certified fire resistance.
Add fire resistance and prevent upward fire spread.
Protects structural levels by slowing fire migration.
Seals cable trays, ducts, and pipe penetrations—vital for modern buildings.
Fire-resistant wraps and coatings for essential building services.
Installed inside AHU and HVAC ducts to limit smoke movement.
Allows visibility while maintaining high heat resistance.
Curtains and barriers used for large halls, malls, and high-rise buildings.
Protects expansion gaps under extreme temperature.
Passive fire protection coating to delay structural steel collapse for up to several hours.
These systems include fire-rated walls, partitions, floors, and smoke control barriers designed to compartmentalize a building.
Their purpose is to stop fire and smoke from spreading to other areas, giving occupants more time to evacuate and helping protect valuable assets.
Passive fire protection also relies on specialized materials such as fire-resistant sealants, boards, panels, and protective coatings.
These materials help maintain the integrity of walls, ceilings, and structural components when exposed to heat.
Openings created for pipes, ducts, electrical cables, and mechanical systems are often weak points in a building’s fire resistance. Penetration fire-stopping systems seal these gaps using certified materials so fire and smoke cannot pass through them.
Steel can lose strength rapidly in high temperatures. To prevent collapse, structural steel is coated with intumescent paint or protected using fire-resistant spray systems.
These coatings expand when exposed to heat, forming a protective layer that insulates the steel and keeps it stable during a fire.

GreenTech provides passive fire protection services across major cities and industrial zones in Pakistan, ensuring safety and compliance nationwide:
Passive fire refers to built-in systems that contain fire and smoke without needing activation. These include fire-rated walls, doors, ceilings, coatings, and barriers.
Common examples include fire-rated doors, fireproof ceilings, penetration sealants, and intumescent coatings.
Active systems detect or suppress fire (sprinklers, alarms). Passive systems contain or slow fire using walls, doors, barriers, and coatings.
Passive agents are materials like fireboards, sealants, intumescent paints, and fire-resistant insulation that control fire spread.
