Fire Retardant Application
Clear, biodegradable, Pet Safe, Season-long protection
We utilize a line of fire retardant products designed specifically for precision ground-based applications. All of these products are formulated to be environmentally safe, while maintaining incredible performance under extreme demands. Our retardants are pet safe, and require no special clean up post-fire.
Our primary formulation applies clear, and can be left in place for the entire dry season. Protection will remain effective indefinitely, until washed away during the wet season. These products provide effective results on all natural materials including wood decks, siding and roofs, as well as live and dead landscape vegetation around homes.
The products we utilize work by interrupting the combustion process via a chemical reaction. Unlike foams and gels, which rely on holding liquid water in suspension for a short time, our products work equally effective whether wet or dry, and can be applied hours, days, or even months ahead of a fire with no decrease in performance.
Left: Untreated - Right: Treated with AFS retardant
The right half of this material was treated with a single application of our clear retardant, and allowed to dry in full sun for 5 days. This product decreases flame intensity by over 90%, even when dry.
Our products can be applied both as a pre-treatment at the beginning of the dry season, or as an emergency treatment directly ahead of a wildfire. Protection remains effective through the remainder of the dry season, and is visually discreet in most cases.
