From the natural choice to the fully sustainable fire retardant solution for wooden and other water absorbing materials.
The background for developing an environmentally friendly fire retardant comes from a desire to solve a specific problem in a different and innovative way. Through systematic, targeted research and documentation, Burnblock® develops sustainable, industrial solutions for fire resistance.
How it works?
Burnblock is a highly effective and non-toxic fire retardant. Burnblock consists of purely natural ingredients combined in a patented formula. Burnblock effectively prevents oxygen from reaching the treated object – and without oxygen: no fire.
Burnblock is completely harmless and even in case the substance should make contact with the human eye, it will be no more harmful than fruit juice (ref. made to the health assessment).
Sustainability
From the natural choice to the fully sustainable fire retardant solution for wooden and other water absorbing materials.
Burnblock® has raised the bar for sustainability in the industry. The Cradle to Cradle certification broadens the company’s commitment beyond material health, safety and the environment, but also how consume water and energy and our commitment to social justice.
