Flame Guard Gel™ supports the position of the fire safety industry that most wild land residential fires can be prevented. Unfortunately, most homes and homeowners are either ill equipped or unprepared to deal with wild land fires. A primary reason for many homeowners being unprepared to deal with rural fire is that few, if any fire safety products on the market today offer a completely safe, non-toxic, cost effective and easy to use approach to fire safety. Flame Guard Gel™ meets these requirements for consumers with a material cost less than 2¢ sq. ft. for home protection.

Flame Guard Gel™ is completely biodegradable and soluble with water. Never before has the rural home owner been able to protect their property without the lasting negative effects of a retardant. Since Flame Guard Gel™ is a totally environmentally friendly substance it can be sprayed on plant life without damage to the plant or effect composite roofing or other materials that make up the structure. Flame Guard Gel™ can be washed away, even after moderate drying has taken place. Application systems may be purchased for maximum performance.

In 1997 the state of Oregon passed into legislation, regulations that a rural homeowner should follow in order to protect their property and surrounding property from wild land fires. This legislation holds homeowners accountable for the costly damage that fire creates.  Many other states are considering this legislation making it essential to protect your surrounding area from fire.  Flame Guard Gel™ is the answer for the rural homeowner.

Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. performed fire tests for Lateral Ignition and Flame-Spread Tests (LIFT) for Flame Guard Gel™ under contract with the U.S. Forest Services.  The results were that Flame Guard Gel™ offered maximum retardency before the second layer of substrate ignited.  The top layer charred with no visible flames. The second layer, with continued applied flame, finally ignited at 42 and 60 minutes through the cracks in the top layer.  The performance of Flame Guard Gel™ as a retardant was far superior to foams and elastomers and superior to the other gels tested.
