As you see, the enemy is fierce, frightening and merciless. So how the battle should be fought? The answer comes from a 6th Century BC Chinese Master General:

The victorious military is first victorious and after that, does battle. The defeated military first does battle and after that, seeks victory.

(The art of War, Chapter 4, Form)

The essence of success in protecting lives and property against fire is not in the fight with it but it is in taking preventive measures against it.

As you might remember, in class A fires, the fire triangle has to be collapsed by taking one of the factors out of the equation to fight with it. But than again as you might remember from the correct answers of our quiz, you have a very limited chance once fire has started.

Fire-O Fire Proofing Chemicals is the ultimate way to minimize the risk of defeat in this battle as it eliminates the contact between the fuel source and oxygen before the incident. It encapsulates the fuel source in molecular level hence it becomes impossible for air to get in contact with the fuel to start the combustion reaction.

Another positive consequence of this molecular encapsulation effect is the fact that the treated material becomes almost non convective. It was witnessed in our tests that a piece of 20mm plywood subjected to 1300-1500oC blowtorch flame for 42 minutes not only resisted flames but a temperature of approximately 120oC was measured at the back side.

Fire-O Fire Proofing Chemicals comes in a variety of forms so it may be used in the treatment of many materials during production:
